Close Call Today

I was riding in on my way in to work this afternoon and was on a ramp to go westbound from a southbound highway. As I was traveling about 65mph, a car that was intending to go eastbound suddenly pulled to the right and came into my space, her rear wheel and my front wheel were side by side about 2" apart. I hit the brakes hard and locked up the bike for a second. I couldn't believe that we didn't make contact with each other. I pulled up next to her waving to get her attention and you could tell that she had no idea at all of what had just happened. Its a primarily chinese community in this town and Ive found them to be the absolute worst drivers in the planet. Its the second close call within a year in the same neighbourhood. I counted my blessings today, and hope idiots like this don't come in threes.
