I was driving home yesterday evening in the right lane on Highway 6, with my cruise control set on 70. Even with the windows up and the radio on (Texas Country, 105.3), I heard something that sounded like a bad tire as I was being passed on the left. Sure enough, here came a lady driving a fancy new pickup pulling an equally fancy gooseneck horse trailer. The front right tire on the trailer was obviously flat, and just after she passed me it started throwing rubber off. I got behind her and flashed my lights repeatedly, then accelerated to get in front of her, rolled down my window, stuck my arm out and waved it up and down with my hand flat, and slowly pulled over onto the shoulder hoping she'd get the message and pull in behind me so I could let her know. She pulled around and went on by. So I pulled back out on the road and pulled up beside her with my passenger side window open. She sat there staring straight ahead, with her left hand on the wheel and her right one holding her phone up to her ear. I was at my turn, so I gave up and went home. I hope she made it to where she was going without the other tire blowing and causing an accident, and I hope I didn't scare her.
