Some moron came flying up behind me just now

No Lifer
I get on the freeway, merging up to speed quickly and I move over into the far left lane to get around a slower moving truck in the middle lane. I'm going 75mph and I see this guy come up behind me laying on the horn and flashing his lights. So, I'm like WTF? He was nowhere near me when I got on the freeway and now I'm going the exact same speed as the car in front of me...which he cannot drive through so what's his problem?

Anyway, he gets up along side me and rolls his window down. I'm thinking, "Oh great, now what's this idiot going to do?" So I wave at him and say hi a few times smiling my face off. Of course, now he's really angry with me. :laugh:

On I drive figuring I'll just ignore him and he'll go away. Nope, he gets back behind me and tailgates me closely for a couple miles. I continue to ignore him but then a little way later he gets up alongside me again and whips something at my passenger side door (it was big and metallic and made a loud bang when it hit my door).

Now I'm pissed. I slow down and move over toward his car...stupid, I know. He moves over too so I slow down and let him get in front of me. Now I've got him! I grab a pen and paper out of my center console and write down his license plate number and call 911.

He got off at the next exit and I gave the Police a good description of his vehicle (dark blue Toyota Highlander with tinted windows) and I gave them his plate number.

Take that fuckwad. You had to be a big man and act all tough trying to intimidate me and it didn't work. Now you have a police bulletin out for you and guess what...when I got to my destination and looked at my car I couldn't find any damage. :laugh::laugh::laugh:

PWNED!!!
 
maybe he was in your blind spot and you nearly ran him off the road? or do you honestly believe this person was pissed off at you for no reason, enough to follow you for a long while and even throw something at your car?

Find out what the police did.

Probably nothing. There was no real crime. The OP didn't stick around to file a report either. The most that might have happened is the guy had some license issues and went to jail for them.

He wasn't. When I moved into the left lane and looked behind me he was a good 6-7 car lengths behind me and he wasn't going that much faster than I was...if at all.
 
If you weren't stuck in the left lane because you were passing traffic in the right lane then you are the asshole for not moving over, but either way that guy had no right to throw shit at your car or tailgate you for miles like you said.

Glad you called the cops on him and I hope he gets what he deserves.

No they aren't. I was looking through my rearview mirror, not the passenger door mirror.
 
Police didn't do anything unless there were already issues on his plate prior.

With no evidence to back up the complaint, police have no legal right to do ANYTHING other than pull the guy over and warn him to behave on the road. A policeman cannot ticket anything for which there is no proof, and if he tried, he could EASILY get out of said ticket in court as the Judge should rightfully throw it out.
No officers saw it, and no evidence = it didn't happen. For all anyone could know, you phoned in someones plate for the fact that you didn't like the color of the car or had a grudge against the driver.
 
Chances are the police are too busy downing donuts at Krispy Kreme and laughed at your chicken little report.
 
Man, when i was 17, i accidently crossed the center line by my house due to me trying to swat a wasp away from my face... i looked up and a car was barreling down on me, so i swerved back to my side... the fucktard pulled a u turn, and followed me as i turned into my development, i went around to the cul d sac, and as i went to get out, he blocked me in and started yelling at me, etc... he finally decided to chuck some beer bottles at my car, i was sooooo tempted to ram his car and pin him in until cops got there, but i decided to pwn him, and put the car in reverse, and backed down about 1000' of the street at about 20mph until i pulled into a house that wasnt mine, at this point he was trying to throw bottles at me, but obviously had no idea of physics... in fact im positive i posted about this here when it happened.
