Post IN SOME DEEP SH*T

I was driving today down a 35 mph road. It was in the middle of the city, and I moved into the lane in front of a dump truck. At the next stop light, he almost rammed me, and I looked back and he flipped me off. So once the light turns green I punch it and both my friend and I flipp him off out the moonroof. We turn off a small sidestreet fairly fast expecting him not to follow, but I look back and he is going as fast as I was trying to catch up. We were like sh*t and we tied to speed faster, but a stoplight was coming up. I luckily knew a apartment complex on the right and I quickly pulled into it and sped inside, but he actually stopped at the entracne and attempted to wait for me. It was the scariest shi* ever. We went all the way back to the apartments and waited for about 10 min and then we walked out to see if he was still there. He wasn't so we left. Boy did that give us an adrenaline rush!! I will never flip off someone again unless I know I have an escape route!! Moral of this story, not to piss off damn dump truck drivers!!!

hahaha...that was funny yet scary at the same time.

man, ive been followed 3 or 4 times. It's not that I pissed them off on purpose either! I mighta cut em off, but I apologize by raising a hand and yet they still followed me.

This one instance, I was driving down my street and got up to some lady in an suv. Shes going 20mph in a 30 or 35, so I figure I'll just signal and pass on the left although it's a 2way street. She takes offense to that and starts to squeeze me off! I'm like, wtf! and I gun it and pass her. When I got up to a stop sign I look in the mirror and she starts pointing at me and stuff. What did I do? I didnt give her the finger, rather, I turned around and started waving to her. I gave a big smile as I was doing it too. That pissed her off majorly. lol. even more so than the finger I would think. Anyways, I knew she was gonna follow me after that, so I drove around in circles and sped and stuff and lost her.

why the hell do you get scared? what can he possibly do?

you should be the one making the other guy shit himself. someone threw up their middle finger at me on the road. i got out of the car and asked the guy whats up. he said he was just fooling around.

when he came close to you at the stop light you should have just waved him on. he wont hit you

you gotta learn to do that kind of stuff. i'll teach you one day

I would step out if the guy wasn't one of those crazy trailer trash no education guys who carry guns! Also he had a huge dump truck that could've done some serious damage! It was definitely not worth it to mess around with the freak. Anyways it was scary but we had a good laugh afterwards!

When ppl tailgate me, I tend to slow down to leave a greater gap for reaction in front of me and this seems to pi** them off even more. One driver got very aggressive with me & kept following me. I had my portable radio with me & called a beat car around & had him pulled over. I stroked him for two different violations in the amount over $200.00. I think he will think twice about pullin that crap next time...

I leave a greater gap for that extra reaction time too, just in case I have to brake suddenly. Wouldn't want the fool behind me to slam into my car. But sometimes if I know I can take the loser behind me (ie, bastard's car is not in the same league as the TL), I will purposely slow down until they switch lanes...and then I gun it...which pisses the hell out of them...

DA

A couple years ago, I was cut off really bad by some Ford POS so I started to tail him a little and must have pissed him off because his passenger reached into the back seat and got something. I was about to pass him when he flashed it at me. What was it? Well if I had to guess, I'd say it was about a 9mm semi-automatic.

You did the (sort of) right thing. People are stupid these days and it's best to try to avoid confrontation with them.

I can't stand when some shithead tries to pull one over on you, then gets pissed if you don't let him or if you flip him off for trying.

One guy pulls up next to me at a stop sign and tries to go straight. Funny, my signal wasn't on so that must have been what I was doing. So I nailed it and cut him off, and showed him what number I was thinking of. He starts yelling and screaming at me at the next light. So I yelled right back. How Rude!!

I am very aware of every trick that can be pulled and where it most likely to happen. So I keep an eye out for Volkswagons, and other riced cars, and don't let them.

My Girlfriend was driving on 495 (capitol beltway) at about 65 mph and the traffic was starting to slow down and this guy comes up behind her flying, and apparently did'nt see the traffic slowing. She moves over to the shoulder, and this guy skids all over the highway and hits two cars in front of him. Then he blames my girlfriend WTF was he thinking. Once Maryland State police gets on the scene, the few people that stayed after they witnessed the accident give there story and the guy had a suspended licence and a Misdemeanor warrant for his arrest!

I guess I'll add my story.

I was driving downtown in my POS Buick before I got my TL. My POS girlfriend ( ) at the time was a hotty, she was sitting shotgun. So some dipshit cuts me off and I honk and flip the fvcker off. He turns his head, looks back and flips me off. But he does a double take when he sees my gf and looks back again... funny thing is that he is still rolling forward slowly and the car in front of him stopped! He rear ends the car in front of him and we drive around him laughing our asses off as he gets out of his car to talk to the lady he ran into! It was great.

But anyway, REDMOND_TL, WTF was that jerk off going to do? You should of *atleast* let him get out of his truck then peel out so hes left standing all alone stupidly in the street.
