I was pulling out of my covered parking area yesterday, and two large SUV's had parked by the curb to the left, making it difficult to see oncoming traffic. I waited until the light (a block away) turned red, and pulled out carefully, turning right... there was a car that sped through the red light and almost hit me. I put my hand up in apology as the driver honked and zoomed on in front of me.
I was going to turn right from the same lane, and was driving behind the driver that almost crashed into me, and all of a sudden she SLAMMED on her brakes. I had to slam on my brakes in order to avoid hitting her, and I wasn't even that close to her (she went form about 40mph to 0 by slamming on her breaks). She rolled down her window and stuck her head out at me and gave me a dirty look. She then sped up again, accelerating quickly, and I started accelerating again, as well. Again, without warning, she went up to about 40mph before SLAMMING on her brakes again, to a complete stop... I had to slam mine one, and the car behind ME almost hit me.
I honked at her, and she rolled down her window again and stuck her fist out, shaking it at me. She then opened her car door, and her VERY BIG AND VERY SCARY boyfriend in the passenger seat also opened the car door, and they BOTH shook their fists at me, and then closed the doors and accelerated again.
I was very frightened at this point, and turned right at the next light.
Was what they did illegal? I did do my best to apologize after accidentally cutting her off (completely unintentionally), and was left somewhat frazzled by the experience...
