Why are my chances so good when driving?

Ever notice: you’ll be driving down an empty road, not another car in sight. Then you see a jogger or cyclist and a car will appear in the other lane. And you and the other car will come abreast of each other just as you come to jogger/cyclist, making getting around jogger/cyclist near impossible.

It never fails.

I’ve noticed this very thing. The road will be empty and then suddenly you and a semi and a cyclist will all have to pass at the exact same spot. Then the road will be empty again. It’s weird.

“Empty road”? Never heard of such a thing. I live in L.A.

I’m going to try to think of a set of numbers the next time it happens and try them with the lottery.
