Default Brings back a scary memory
On my wife and my first trip to Orlando, we were driving our rental car over a steep overpass over railroad tracks. Three lanes in our direction, we were in the middle lane, 50 mph speed limit. As we crested the overpass, there was a car STOPPED in the center lane with two people reading a map!!!! OMG! We had no place to go as there were cars on both sides of us. We barely were able to stop in time. Why don't people just bite the bullet and pull off into a parking lot to read a map. Just like your story. Just continue on and get back on the highway at the next entry.
