IMPORTANT Below: A really RUDE driver that cut real close in front of the two RV Gypsies moving RV and almost causing an accident. Big RVs (and big trucks) CANNOT stop quickly, nor can they swerve or change lanes. So please, car drivers, do NOT pull in front of an RV or Truck too closely. You are risking getting rear-ended and that would not be fun for anyone. iF YOU are on this website and know this person, please educate him or her, and everyone else for that matter. Thank you.
