I cursed, slamming on the brakes, my hand pressing down hard on the horn as the minivan suddenly merged in front of me, nearly hitting the front of my car. I swerved trying to avoid getting hit, only to have to jerk back so as not to be creamed by the semi tanker driving right beside me.
A few tense seconds and enough distance had separated between me and the other vehicles on the road for me to be able to move my foot back to the gas to get back up to speed before the car coming up behind me could catch up.
So close.
I swallowed, glaring at the minivan in front of me, totally clueless of the accident they could have caused because they hadn't taken the time to look in their blind spot before merging.
