Just last week I was run off the road (Hwy.441) by a woman driving a window-van. We were approaching a trafic light and I was passing her on her left. As soon as I got in her "blind-spot", she decided to change lanes and started to move into my lane. I had no choice but to partly drive into the median (bumpy grass). I had two wheels in the grass and two wheels on the pavement. I blew my horn and she moved back into her lane.
There are a lot of elderly drivers in Florida and we don't know how many of them are in the early stage of dementia. She just didn't think to check her blind spot!
