Nearly Rearended

Since there's a lot of construction on I-15 right now, traffic is mostly stop and slow with a few speedy moments. Anyway, traffic way ahead was obviously slowing, so I did, too. I'd almost completed my stop and I checked my rear view mirror as I'm wont in traffic, just in case there's a problem. The huge Dodge truck behind didn't catch on in time and swerved into the shoulder and barely avoided my car's tail end.

Will anyone be surprised by the fact that the guy was on his cell phone? Hang up your blasted phone, man!


I tell you what, though, I am EXTREMELY glad that this happened on the stretch of the freeway where there still was a shoulder to the road, and not a quarter of a mile down, where the shoulder is blocked.
