Road Rage: Do you ride bumpers and blare bright lights???

True Story!

I was going to my dad's house one day. He lives off a major highway. Traffic was moderately heavy, but not too bad. Yes, I was driving in the left lane because I was going to make a left hand turn to my dad's house within about 15 minutes or so. 

Well this car was riding my bumper because he/she wanted me to drive in the slow lane; which is on the right side of the road. So in order to get my attention, the person started to flick their lights. 

I didn't move. 

Well, I wasn't driving slow. I maintained the speed limit. In my dad's area the police is heavy. So if the limit says 55, do not drive above 60 because they will get you. Any who, I kept driving. 

Well by this time the driver had gotten so angry with me because I didn't drive in the lane they wanted me to, so he/she cut on their bright lights and kept riding my bumper.

So, I'm like really dude? Are you kidding me? 

I kept driving. I turned my rear view mirror out of my eyes so I could see. Well you would have thought that after a while, the driver would have moved to the far right lane and went around me since that lane was clear; but no. He/She kept blaring their lights behind me.

OK, so now I'm really getting annoyed. So what do you think I did?

Yep, you guessed it. Slowed down!!

And I mean really slow. So what did the other driver do then? He/She slowed down too..AND KEPT RIDING MY BUMPER!!

Now, I know I'm dealing with a crazy person. They could have been where they wanted to go a long time ago, had they just went around me. But no, some people think they own the road. (Well, I take that back) Some people are just mean spirited BULLIES!

I kid you not. I slowed down to about 45mph. Guess what? The person still would not go around me. So now I'm getting angry. I hit my brakes! He/She swerved and had to run off the road to keep from hitting me. OK. So now I'm thinking: That'll teach'em. But no wait, there's more. 

I really ticked them off. The person went around me, speeding like a mad man/woman. Pulled in front of me and slammed on their breaks. So then, I swerved off the road to keep from hitting them in the back of their car. 

After this, the person sped up and tried to get away. So now, I'm heated. I'm really boiling with anger. I mean where are the cops when you need them? I tried to catch up with the person so I could get their license. But he/she was driving so freaking fast, I would have to do major speeding to catch them.

Looking back, what should I have done? Ignore crazy people. Let that fool have the highway since he/she wants it. Things really could have taken a much uglier turn. God was with me! Going forward, I would not play that kind of cat and mouse game again. You never know what mentally ill person you're dealing with. They could have had a gun and a dead body in the trunk of their car for all I knew. Stay safe everybody.  

Later peeps!
