So sorry you missed that

To the  kind fellow in the White SUV who passed me 5 times on the 417 between Palladium Drive and Arnprior:
I know that, even today, some vehicles don't have Cruise control.  I can only surmise that your White Cadillac SUV did not come with that option since you passed me 5 times and then pulled in immediately in front of me only to slow right back down to a speed below what MY cruise control was set for (about 112 km/h) prompting me, naturally, to pass you in turn.
I also realize that passing the same vehicle time and again is frustrating. So I acknowledge how you were motivated to not allow me to pass you that one last time as the divided highway was coming to an end.
I am So sorry that, as you overtook me on the RIGHT at what I can only assume was at least 125 km/h based on how fast you flew by, that you didn't realize that the speed limit had dropped from 100km/h to 90km/h... that you failed to use your turn signal as you cut in front of me (from the right hand lane) and screamed forward well in excess of the speed limit, it's a gosh darn shame that you failed to notice the vehicle directly behind me was an OPP SUV.
I do appreciate that you pulled over nice and far to the Right side of the road so that I could get by as you and your new best friend had a little chat about the technicalities of the highway traffic act.
So sorry you missed that....
