Pickup driver almost takes me out!!! This afternoon I took a short ride on my way to meeting with friends for a cold one. My route takes in some dirt public highway.

The roads are two lane, but tight width-wise. I was coming down a fairly steep hill not going real fast because it feels like riding on... Pickup driver almost takes me out!!!
