   True.  I was one a 4-lane coming out of Clovis NM and met a car backing up   
   around a corner.  Enough time lost computing that was what it was doing that I   
   just barely nudged him as I came to a stop.  Amazing thing is that as I was   
   leaving I saw him still    
   backing up and still in the travel lane.
