The other day I'm traveling on a 2 lane highway, somewhat fast. There is a pick up truck going fairly slow in the left hand lane, there is no other cars on this section of road. I don't want to pass the guy on the right so wile I'm still pretty far back I give my high beams a quick flash. As I'm getting closer the guy still hasn't moved, so I give it one more quick flash. Then the driver, without signaling moves to the MIDDLE of the highway blocking both lanes (there is no full exit ramp here) and then SLAMS on the breaks. I then have to slam on the breaks, he then accelerates quickly, and then slams on the breaks again. This time I have to swerve to avoid being hit by him, and I then just floor it past him on the right. He then turns on his high beams. So I just let of the gas and slowly start decelerating until he finally turns them off, and then I floor it leaving him behind.
This just happened about an hour ago now, so I'm still a bit shaken up...
Today I'm traveling home on the mane road into my neighborhood. Its a 2 lane road that's a little twisty, with a speed limit of 45. As I was driving, I'm coming up on an Audi that's doing about 40, so when I get to a pass zone, I pass him. Well wile I'm passing him he accelerates, then when I get in front of him he puts on his high beams, and starts tailgating me. To try and get him off I hit my break to turn on the break light, and accelerate at the same time. The guy keeps tailgating me. At this point I'm doing 75, he's still tailgating me, and I'm approaching my turn to get home. Scared over what this guy is gonna do I keep going straight, but I slow down. I then start to turn into a small shopping center and signal for him to turn off, he then passes me on the right, and then comes to a stop in the shopping center. I pull up next to him and ask him if something is wrong, and the guy starts yelling at me "lets go you wanner fight right hear right now" The man was in his 50's I then tell him to please calm down and tell me what's wrong, and then he tells me "you were speeding, were north of the Merrit parkway and EVERY road has a speed limit of 25" I then say OK sir do you want to call the cops, he then says "you leave right now or I'm gonna be the cops" after than he floors his car out of the parking lot. I now start to call 911, and try to follow him to get his plate, which I couldn't make out. To get away from me the man proceeds to drive at speeds of about 60-70 on side residential roads with a speed limit of 15 mph. I decide its not worth the risk to try and follow him to get the plate. I did have the police come to the parking lot where we had the encounter, and I filled out a police report. In my neighborhood there is this one Audi that is notorious for being aggressive, and performing allot of illegal stuff (he tried to run a few of my friends off the road before because the were going to fast, too slow or any other random reason) I'm wondering if this is the Audi now.
So anyway I'm am getting REALLY tired of road rage here and people doing stupid **** like this! WTF is this in defense of there "turf" or some **** and there offended now that you passed them? Well Anyway I was shacking after that encounter. I did get a good look at the guy, I just couldn't get the plate, and unfortunately Audi is THE most common car in my neighborhood. He did have a weird plate, I think it was a dealer/repair plate, so if I see him again I will know the car, right now though I just wish the police could get this friggan psycho!
