Tough guys behind the wheel.

This is a story that happened to me years back but when I think about it I still get pissed off.

One late night I was on my way home. While driving down main street I noticed that the car in front of me was trying to harrass other drivers on the road. We will call this driver Dumbass. Well the driver Dumbass was harassing pulled into a gas station so Dumbass needed another driver to pick on. That driver was me. Like I said, I was driving behind him so I hit my left turn signal and he turned left. As he turned left I kept going straight. I looked into my rear view mirror I see him turning around to follow me. Here we go, I thought. He speeds up to catch me and rides my ass with his high beams blazin and swirving all over the place.

I tap the brakes and then speed away. He follows. I take the main road to highway. He follows. As I'm driving down the highway he continues to ride my ass, high beams blazin, slowing down and then speeding up like he was going to ram me. I'm in the left lane and I see its about to merge into the right lane because of on going construction. Now Dumbass sees this to and speeds up into the right lane and matches my speed. He won't let me get into the right lane and the left lane is about to end. I roll down my window as does Dumbasse's friend who hops in the back seat. His friends is calling me all sorts of retarded names and making threats. I tap my brakes to slow down cause my lane is all but gone and if I continue I will hit road signs, construction vehicles and possibly fall into a 2 foot hole. Now I'm doing about 3 mph now and Dumbass is matching my speed. When I speed up, he speeds up. When I slow down, he slows down. I'm thinking, shit! Dumbasses friend continues to spew his lame remarks at me. I look in my review mirror and spot a set of headlights. Phewww, I'm not alone. Now I've stop completely cause I have nowhere else to go.

Now I guess two sets of brakes lights on a 2 lane highway looks supsicious because the set of headlights behind me now turn into a set of flashing red lights! Hell yeah, its the cops! Finally, heres a cop when you need one! Now Dumbass is scared and he tries to speed away but his POS car is no match the speed of a NY highway patrol's camero. Sooo long dumbass! I'm saved.

Anyone else got any road stories from tough guys behind the wheel?

Lol, that's what he gets I guess. I don't drive, so I can't really say yes. But that was great. You should ask the cop (If you see him again) if Dumbass was drunk...

Man, thats some crazy shit. What made that dude so crazy in the first place? He could have been just messing with you, but why? Some people are just nuts-PERIOD.

You have to keep tabs on everyone today, it's sad. One thing i will tell you though is if you are in another situation like that, or any other type of road rage senario, never take your eyes off them. Sick people, if my car was a beater, i'd have rammed his ass.

Lol, i would have been like whoopsi, oops, look at that. BTW, always carry a weapon, in case you have to get primal :-)

Thats the unsettling part. These guys weren't expierencing a case of road rage at all. They got into the POS car with the intent to use at a bullying device. They wanted to imtimidate people with that car. I remember being really nervous when I had stopped completely on the highway, as did they, and thinking, "great! Now these 2 dumb fucks are going to get out of their and try to fuck me up". Normally I'm not imtimidated by people but this was the strangest thing I've ever been through. I dunno if they were drunk, high, or worse, stone sober. They typically thugs that went out with the intent to look for trouble. Thats what made me nervous.

There was no way in hell I was gonna use my car as a weapon. Fuck that. Oh yeah, I did have an old knife on me but it didn't help my situation. Who knows how far they would have gone. All I know is thank god for the cops cause those guys were not letting up.

Did you see him get pulled over, or did he decide to run?

Zaphod Beeblebrox · #6 12-12-2004, 01:15 AM

He ran and the cops chased him. Theres no way they were gonna outdrive and outrun the cops in their car. I saw them pulled over as I drove by. I gave the cops the thumbs up but I doubt they were looking at me. I was never in my life so happy to see a cop.

This reminds me of when i worked loss prevention for like a week, and came in contact with some crazy ass people.

Lol, i quit that job.

BTW, i live on long island, those camaros are faaaaaaaaaast.

You live on LI? Nice! Yeah, this happened in Riverhead.

solaris=amazing · #9 12-12-2004, 01:42 AM

Riverhead, damn, that dude probably got reamed good. Suffolk cops are tough. I live in nassau county, near hempstead. Plenty on nuts my way, lol.

These days, there is no reason NOT to have a cell phone.
I always have one and would call the cops if I were harassed like that. Sure, you are still on your own, but you may be able to stay away from them until the cops can help.
Generally, I try and stay off the roads Fri. and Sat nights because that's when the idiots seem to be out.
I did once see a driver, a real biker-type in a Buick go nuts while driving down the highway on a Sun. morning. The highway was almost empty, with lots of room.....yet this guy was driving a couple of hundred yards in front of me, driving beside a cement truck at highway speed, with the drivers window open. I could see him waving his fist out the window, leaning out and (presumably) yelling at the cement truck driver for....something. He threw a pop bottle at the truck and slowed down some. When I passed him, he started yelling at me. A woman was in the passenger seat who looked quite frightened. Fortunately, as a Buick 3.8 V6 is no match for a modified Olds 455, I didn't hang around to hear what his complaint was.

I didn't have a cell phone back then. Hell back then pagers were in and cell phones cost way too much money.

last summer some guy almost ran me off the road cause i refused to race him. I had the oh so powerful 420A eclipse...he had a brand new infiniti. oh....we also mooned him for being a retard. Then called the cops on him when he tried to run me off the road. haha

Anyone who tries that crap with Ozzie usually gets a friendly word. Screamed through the drivers window with a club lock in the other hand.

Rock on OZ. Rock on!

I had an idiot like that recently, it was 2 turning lanes that merged to 1. I got infront, he didnt like that and passed me in a no passing and slammed on the brakes. Then since he went to my school raced there to PS. and said I was following him. ( I took the other entrance to the school cause I didnt want to deal with that jerk). I spent 5 min finding a parking place and thn 2 PS officers blocked my car in (in a parking space) to lecture me or some shit. (yes he was driving a riced out car)
