Default Stupid Drivers

So, 3 of my buddies and I are coming back from a pizza place tonight and it had rained all day today and it was really foggy. Well, with the conditions, I was driving 5, maybe 10 mph below the speed limit. I look in the rearview and there's this guy in a Mercedes riding my *** like he's in a NASCAR race. So, me being the semi-aggressive and overprotective driver, I tapped the brakes a little bit telling him to get off of my bumper.

Well, 5 minutes more of this ******* following me extremely closely and I get into the turning lane to pull into one of my buddies neighborhood's. Mr. ******* in the Mercedes proceedes to nail the gas, fly past us, and honk simultaneously.

What the hell?! I hit the gas and got behind a car (Ford Explorer) behind him and kept a close eye on the Mercedes. Ford pulls off into a neighborhood and I catch up to the Mercedes but stayed back ~30 feet. Then I start to get closer as we get into a more civilized area and flash him because I want him to pull over so I can talk to him. He then slams on his brakes, so I pull into the turning lane to avoid him.

I'm f**king LIVID at this point and pull back behind him and HE DOES IT AGAIN. Now I've got the high beams on, honking at this bastard and yelling at him to pull over. He takes a right at the next light and then another right into the grocery store. I missed the turn and turned into the next entrance as my buddies are keeping an eye on him.

After almost 20 minutes of driving around the parking lot, no dice. So, we went back to my buddies house.

/begin rant.

Now, I don't care what everyone says. "Oh, you don't belong behind the wheel of a car" "You should have your license suspended" "Don't ever contribute to road rage". Remember, I DIDN'T START IT. He was tailgating and I gave him a little warning that he was too close for my own comfort. Sure, I could've pulled over and let him pass, but my buddies neighborhood was right around the corner and I was only going 5mph under the speed-limit, which was ok for the conditions tonight (Couldn't see 20 feet in front of you). Sure, I contributed by following him and instigating, but I wanted to talk to the guy.

What really pisses me off the most is that the guy WAITED to honk until he kne... thought he wouldn't have to deal with me anymore. Remember, I tapped the brakes, HE SLAMMED ON HIS making me avoid him. Don't **** with trucks, we can end you. It also pisses me off the I didn't get to talk to the guy, because he is probably sitting somewhere doing something thinking that he's a badass because he lost the people that were trying to catch him.

/rant.

I can understand what you're saying, but people are phuckin' crazy these days!!! You could have gotten him to pull over and have him shoot you. I myself can't stand idiot drivers and as hard as it is, I just let $hit go because it's just not worth it!!! I use to do the same thing...just tap my brakes, but that can get out of hand real quick. I did the same thing to a Dodge diesel that was riding my butt. The person gets mad and goes around me (which I knew he was going to get in front of me and slam the brakes), well I moved over in the next lane just as he was getting in the lane I was in, and the funniest $hit....he slams his breaks (hoping to get me to rear-end him, so he could drive off) just as I was passing him up in the next lane. LMFAO!!! He realizes that and starts to "try" to chase me....let's just say that at 120 mph with some traffic in between, he couldn't keep up. I'm not going to bash you for what you did, but just offer some sound advice....BE CAREFUL cause this world is so phucked up these days!!! Don't be another statistic!!!

Maybe he is? I sure as hell am, so what's that supposed to mean? That because I'm in high school, I'm less 'mature' than you, and would do **** like this story? Listen buddy, if you were half as mature as you thought you are, you'd be twice as mature as you really are. I'm reminded that age doesn't always bring wisdom and maturity along with it.

OP: Hell with that guy. I bet he was on the phone, too. Really don't like drivers like that, and waiting to honk at you was a bitch move. Still, I've had a guy 'round here try and fight me in a parking lot for me telling him some traffic-dodging trying to race me was a ricer move (Some 300ZX or something). Guy was like twice my size, and his girlfriend was looking at him like he was retarded trying to get me to pull over, PLUS she was giving my car thumbs-up behind his back. Lol, ***** 'em, Onyx 02 is right for the most part... Crazy people out there.

Shoulda gave him a lttle tap and put him in the ditch....lol I actually did that one time back in HS...similar situation too. But I ended up having to buy his car because it cost more to fix it than it was worth LOL funny ****. Then I couldnt sell it so I ended up donating it to Volunteers of America. At least he didnt go to cops about it.

your damn lucky you didn't get shot.
the odds today of a person having a gun in their ride is 50/50.
thats right, you have a better chance of being shot from road rage,
then getting some kind of std from your cheatting girl friend.
