I was on my way to my girlfriends house after work tonight. I was on this strait four-lane road past the mall. Anyways there was a car in front of me and it was turning left so I slowed down to let the car turn. I accelerated at a normal leisurely pace to get back up to the speed limit. All of a sudden comes this Ram 1500 that flies past me on the right. As soon as he passes me he turns his flashers on. I was like what the hell is this guy thinking. I said he surely can't be thinking I was racing him. So this pissed me off. He then pulled in front of me and we where sitting at the next red light. He would turn his flashers on for a few seconds then turn them off. When the light turned green he floors it and his backend starts bunching all over the place. So I went into the right lane, he notched, floored it and of course he turned his flashers on instantly. I said f this and gunned it pasts him. Of course I did what he did to me and I turned my flashers on just to piss him off and basically laugh in his face. He immediately backed off and turned off the road at the next light. I just hate all these people in trucks that think they are god.

No, he got in front of me and turned his flashers on to piss me off. There was a car to my right so I had no choice but to be behind him. If he spit rubber at me this story would have been different. After I passed him I turned my flashers on just to give him a taste of his own game. All he saw was my taillights. All I could think of is that this guy must have been some ricer driving his fathers truck.

I dont mean to rain on your parade or anything, but i dont think that it was a very smart idea..
See this situition isnt uncommon, but the end result is very very different in my case..
I thought the same as you, when some ***hole cut me off with his hazzards thinking that we were racing or something.... Well i BLEW his doors off minutes later, and then when i slowed back down to the speed limit he pulled up on my drivers door, and pointed a gun out the window at me, and said
"Wanna do something stupid like that again punk?" "I will take you off the road son" and then backed off and got behind me in his truck... i was alone, and i was on my way home.. well guess what.. he followed me for about 20mins while i drove around hoping he would leave me alone.. so i tried to lose him by using my car and trying to speed around corners and ditch him but the faster i went, he would always catch up.. and some other stuff but that didnt work either.. but then i drove to the police station in burien and sat out front till he left..

There are too many dumb people out there that just dont care.. becarefull and i hope that just one person reads this and learns from it and doesnt have to go threw what i did..

That's why you have a shotgun in the trunk of your vehicle or if you're of age carry a handgun.

Oh man that’s crazy. That reminds me of what happened to me last year. Again I was at a light and there was another Ram 1500 next to me (not the same one as my last post), the light turns red I get on it a little to get up to speed. This guy floors it to cut me off, on top of things he is in the lane that must yelled to my lane. So I floor it so he can't pass, the lane then turns to a one lane road. So he follows me five miles to my house. Usually if I think someone is following me I just keep driving around but this time I went home. I pulled into my drive way and he slowly drives by and stops in the middle off the road just past my house. I get out of my car and just stare at him. I didn't stop looking at him till he left.

God bless the new castle law in Texas..completely legal to carry a gun in your car (pistol) as long as it is concealed.

I ran into some nut like that once, but it had nothing to do with racing.

I was driving in my old DD thunderbird on the mass pike way out in western mass where it's two lanes in each direction and this guy in a bronco was going about 30 mph in a 55 mph zone so I tried to pass him and he swerved in front of me and slowed down.. this went on a for a few minutes with me faking to the left lane and cutting hard into the breakdown lane to get by him.. This guy almost flipped his truck trying to swerve over to hit me.. He just missed my left hand 1/4 panel..

After I got by him I kept it floored. My friend looked in the mirror and he tried to keep up and the entire time he was punching his dash and windshield.. Thank god those broncos were speed limited to around 100.. I got up to about 115 or so and just watched him fade away.


Not quite as bad as what happened to you but there is some NUTS out there.. I bet this guy was just looking for somebody to **** with and I happened to be the lucky guy.

On our way back from Minneapolis once we ran into some douchebags from Ohio I believe. They were in some blazer type thing and in the right lane, we were in the left. We passed them and they swerved into the left lane and started riding our bumper @ about 80. We got into the right lane and they pulled up next to us and flipped us off and whatever so we did it right back.

They then pulled in front of us and slowed down and were doing the same thing as the guy did to you Mike, we finally go around them and they chased us for a bit and then let off. We kinda let it go after that even though we were pissed, figuring they finally just grew up and decided it wasn't fun to mess with us anymore. Then we see them flying up from behind us and pull up next to us but both are pointing airsoft guns at us trying to scare us into thinking they're real guns. We just laughed at them and flipped em off and were mouthing "shoot us then" because we all knew guns like the back of our hand and knew they were fake. The funny part too is that we had like 4 real guns in the trunk and if we were idiots like some people we could have just pulled them out and scared those guys ****less. They realized we didn't care though and finally floored it and drove away from us.
