One time while driving home from work, there had been a vehicle behind me for a couple of blocks, and following quite close. I was doing the speed limit, but I got the impression that it wasn't fast enough for this guy. When we came to an intersection, and the road widened a little bit, he passed me in the middle of the intersection. He the proceeded to speed up to about 80 km/hr in a suburban neighborhood...full of kids and playgrounds. He went another block or so, and then pulled into a driveway. I couldn't believe that this guy was less than 2 blocks from his destination, yet passed me in the middle of an intersection, and was ridiculously speeding in a neighborhood. I stopped on the street behind him and yelled out my window at him that I thought he should watch his speed, that there are kids playing (which there OFTEN are) and that he was almost double over the speed limit. He started swearing at me that I was driving too slow and that he'd been following me for miles (which is bs) waiting to pass. And he's like YELLING at me...I was about to drive off, when a woman came out of the house asking what was going on, and he's still yelling, then she starts yelling at me too...when she had no fucking idea what even happened. So I start telling her what he did, and she's still yelling at me. I eventually drove off, cuz these people were so irrational that I feared the next thing was gonna be the apperance of a gun.
Once had a guy chase me down county roads for about six miles. Started off when he came down the middle of the road and I refused to get out his way. He turned around in a driveway and started following me, honking and flipping me off. When that didn't get the desired reaction from me, he hit the ass end of my truck with his car. He did this four times, then I guess he was still not pleased with my reaction so he tried to get up alongside me and push me. The second time he attempted to push I saw him start to do it and stopped letting him go across in front of me and into the ditch along the road. Left him there and called county sheriff department. Have no idea what his problem was other then me refusing to get further to the left in my lane so he could go down the middle of a two lane road.
Me and another driver went for the same lane at the same time. By the time I even realized he was there he had swerved away. He got behind me and started flashing his high beams. I politely waved sorry to him (read: gave him the finger) and drove on. A few kilometers later I stopped at a red light not even thinking about him. I happened to look in my mirror and saw him coming at me with a metal pipe. Needless to say I ran the red light and left him behind. Scared the hell out of me and taught me a lesson... Don't provoke people who are already pissed off.
I start every day with a little road rage. and stoplight rage. and train rage. probably not healthy. but i can't drink on my way to work.
crazy, how the hell did they not catch this guy? Aussie police must not have balls.
