Narrow highway bridges

[Cajunrider]

My wife and I took a 200 mile trip to Madisonville, LA. I built a trunk rack for my bike and brought it to a "Mom & Pop" chrome shop. On the way up, between Pontchatoula and Madisonville, we crossed a couple of very narrow 2 lane bridges with absolutely no space between the fog line and guard rail. On one of the bridges I met an SUV which began creeping over the center line. There was absolutely nothing I could have done besides locking the brakes had the driver continued coming toward me. I suppose that he/she noticed they had crossed over a couple of feet and corrected back over to their side. My wife didn't see it happening and I didn't tell her about it after. If she would have spotted the vehicle coming at us I think it would have been enough to keep her off of the bike for a long time or she maybe wouldn't have ever ridden again. Anyway, make every attempt possible to cross these short and narrow bridges alone. It may not always be possible but try to make it happen. Ride safe...
