Good one. Now let's bash the Chicago Transit Authority.
This happened to me last night.
I'm on the expressway heading home, it's a terrible cold and rainy night and the traffic is just as bad. I'm in the express lane minding my own business and there is a CTA bus to my left. I'm probably right about the half way point of this bus when it decides that it wants to be in my lane. HELLO! I'm driving in the lane here! I honk and swirve luckilly, there was no one to my right. But the bus keeps coming. Like I'm supposed to move for it. I get in front of the bus and realize that he's on the phone. No hands free device and he's using his elbow to steer the bus! Can this be why he didn't bother looking in the mirror to make sure the lane was clear before he tried changing lanes?
Anyway, it gets right behind me, and I mean close enough that I should have just had him in my back seat. It stays that close to me then puts his high beams on because how dare me make him wait until I pass. I'm coming up on my exit now, so I change lanes, and the MF turns off the brights.![]()
I was on hold for 23 minutes with the CTA customer service to report that grasspole.
