My Worst Encounter With A Bad Driver So Far....

Well first, this jerk was tailgating me really bad (i was going a little over speed limit-like 3 mphs lol). And he kept swerving all over the lane, but he would not pass me!
And when I tried to slow down for a lower speed limit, he sped up and got closer and flashed his lights at me. The limit went from 40 to 30, and he would not let me go under 40!!!
Then we came to a 4 way stop, and he put his turn signal on. And then when I went straight he followed. THEN I got to a stoplight, went into the left turn lane (he followed right behind me) and then I turned, but cars were coming so this guy couldn't turn right after me. And then the next person who turned WAS NOT him, so I had no idea where he went (I think he followed me into the turn lane and ent straight!)
It got to the point where, if a cop had passed going in the other direction, I would have flashed my lights at him for help.

Some drivers shouldn`t be on the roads , either they just don`t have the experience or they are just plain ignorant ...
I would have wanted help also ,did you ever see this guy again???

I saw a truck that was similar to his behind me a couple more times on my way home from work, but this never happened again. So either it wasn't him or he was juts having a really bad day that time.

I am very sorry to hear that this happened to you. This is exactly why I choose not to drive. It is crazy out there on the road. They should restrict people with psychological problems from driving at all. This guy could have caused a major accident.

I need to drive for work, and to help out my mom sometimes. So not driving isn't really an option for me. But I def. understand why some people choose not too!

Well that is pretty alarming if i were in your shoes. I would definitely ask a cop to help me get rid of such jerk. Good that he lost you. One would never know just what the heck such jerk is playing at.

I wish there had been a cop around, he might have stopped him on his own anyways since he was driving so close to me, and so badly! But I'm happy he didn't follow me all the way home...of course, if he actually had been following me, I wouldn't have gone all the way home, I would have driven to the police station that's by my house. I doubt he would have followed me in that parking lot! lol.

It's too bad you didn't get his plate number. I would have called the police and reported him. It sounds like he might have been drinking. What a horrible experience for you. Another reason why I won't drive any more.

Well, I never saw any license plate. He never got in front of me, and he was so close to me I couldn't see anything on the front of his car.
