Almost killed commuting to work

I540 south and took the 61 exit right behind one of those older model jeep mail carriers, you know the short wheelbase right hand drive things. Followed him slowly up the off ramp and overpass that has one lane closed for construction, was just heading down the other side and it goes back to 2 lanes, I veer left and as I approach 8 oclock on his port side, his hood flies open and he panic stops, sending the little jeep yawing thru an increasingly wide arc until he finally shuts it down and finds the shoulder. A second earlier and it woulda taken me and no telling how many construction hands out on the over pass... :eek
