It all started out near iKingi Maryout when he clearly couldn't maneuver between a couple of trucks, so me with my typical impatient attitude to driving simply took the lead and got away. It seems this move has injured his dignity somehow so he raced me until Alex toll gates.
When it was pretty obvious I was traveling to Cairo on my own, his attitude changed completely and he started literally watching my back keeping an eye on me throughout the whole journey. It turned out we also have the same techniques in fooling speed radars as well. So we were driving to the same speed most of the way without bothering each other or obstructing the lane visibility.
He slowed down when I was kept behind traffic and sped up when I got some distance advantage; actually he kept my company until we reached the Mehwer and then we went our separate ways.
Weirdly enough I didn't feel violated or obnoxiously followed, I felt perfectly safe knowing that this guy will come to my rescue if anything happens on the open road.
Since I didn't get the chance to thank him, and even if I did knowing me I wouldn't have pulled over and talked to him, I would like to send him a couple of things through the infinite world of cyberspace:
- Thank you for your kindness on the road today, I appreciate it more than you would ever know
- I take my hat off to you and your superb driving, it is quite rare to find someone in Egypt driving so well
