Crazy Road Rage

beachbum by beachbum · Sep 26, 2002 · 241 views · Journal

This is pretty scary--Over the weekend my sister and her friend were driving down to a friend's house when my sister, who was in the left lane, realized someone was trying to pass her. She went to move over but the guy (who was in his 50's)pulled up next to her and literally tried to run her off the road. She said she had to drive onto the grass. Once she got back on, he cut her off and slammed his brakes. She tried to get away from him but he cut through traffic to follow her. She would slow down to let him get ahead but he would slow down, too, even going through EZpass and putting on his hazards and waiting for her. She couldn't lose him so when she was about to get off her friend's exit she called and told her that some guy was following and to be waiting in the driveway for them when they pulled up. She pulled into her friends driveway and he pulled up right behind her. Fortunately, her friend got her dad, uncle and grandfather (who got a baseball bat) and they were waiting for them in the driveway. Her and her friend ran to the house but the guy confronted her dad. He said he asked my sister nicely to move out of the lane and flashed his lights but she was too busy listening to her music to and talking to her friend that she didn't pay any attention to him. They told the guy to leave the property and he pulled out a card and said he was some kind of inspector and wanted to look at her car. They told him again to leave so he went and parked his car across the street in front of their driveway. Again they told him to take a hike so he drove down the road and parked and waited for about 15 min before he finally left. This guy had to be either on drugs or armed to be crazy enough to get out and confront 3 grown men. It's crazy-you never know what kind of deranged lunatic you can come into contact with on any given day.

Eh, thats when you get in there face back, & try & drive him off the road,Or call the cops as your driving. Me & my friends had to do that once. We were driving back from N.C. or S.C I ferget. And this guy in a van, my sister was driving my truck at the time, these 2 black guys in a van cut her off doing like 70, So my sister, well you have to know my sister, Sped up and cut him off, cause he was doin all that brakey stuff and what not, then he followed us, tailgating & what have you, So we called 911 after about 10 min.of tailgaten & yada, told em the deal, we had no idea where we were on that highway. so we had to wait till we got to a exit or whatever, so we can tell em our location, all in the meantime our phone was cuttin out, pritty annoying, but like by the time the Officer had gotten on the road, he had JUST gotten off, but it was pritty cool, we told em it was 4 gyrls in a blue jeep, and 2 black guys in a van, they were tellin us all what to do, it was cool...annnnddd the cop found us followed for a little, drove by gave a thumbs up to see if everything was alright,, it was cool, that was prolly the only time a officer has helped.! Thats my story & im sticken to it...LOL

She should have called the cops but she said she was so scared that she just wanted to get away from him. If he's that crazy, trying to run him off the road in return is only going to make him crazier. But my mom took her to the state police the next day to file a report. The officer told her she could a)file a harassment charge which is only a $200 fine & she'd have to go to court b)file some kind of motor vehicle menace charge which would be big fines but he could countersue b/c she shouldn't have been in the lane if she wasn't passing anyone of c)since they had the license plate # he could call up the guy personally and instill the fear of God in him. They picked "c" I would love to hear tha conversation.

highschool #2 highschoolOG 2002

Yeah... that's why i say, when people are driving crazy and it makes you mad... JUST MOVE OUT OF THEIR WAY, you NEVER know who is behind that wheel.....

reaf #2.1 reafOG 2002

Nah

beachbum #2.2 beachbumOG 2002

seriously, I've found that a lot of worldly people have no boundaries or self control and they will just go with their rage without caring about consequences. And you never know who is packing heat these days.

reaf #2.2.1 reafOG 2002

Yeah I know

highschool #3 highschoolOG 2002

People are nuts out there. Dial 911 is the first thing you should've done.

Remember that case or road rage in Cali? This guy somehow got this lady to pull over because she cut her off. He reached in and grabbed her little dog and threw it on the highway where it was killed. Why? Because she cut him off and I think it was by accident. This world is getting worse and worse and getting revenge on someone because they cut you off is Satan's way of thinking. He wont be happy until everyone is killing each other for no reason at all.

beachbum #4.1 beachbumOG 2002

If I was in that situation I would think that I would call 911. But she was really scared and some times you can't think straight like that. We all gave her the speech about calling the police if it ever happened again. you are right about satan, too.

ilikebirds #5 ilikebirdsOG 2002

i would have stopped my car.

jumped out and ran around screaming " Physcho baby indiana" and just flail my arms on the grass running around and then start punching myself. the guy would have thought you were crazy. and not mess with you.

beachbum #5.1 beachbumOG 2002

or yes, you could do that....I like my friend Tom's advice when someone is trying to scare you--just look down at your shoes and bark at them like mad.

reaf #5.1.1 reafOG 2002

hahaha, oh thats a nice one, I like that

thefunkyfresh #6 thefunkyfreshFounder

ugh, what a lunatic. she shoulda called the cops right away. i see all kinds of crazy road rage on my way to school in newark. several times i've seen people run other people off the road

beachbum #7 beachbumOG 2002

One other thing that kills me about it is he was in such a hurry that he had to pass her in the lane but he found the time to obviously go out of his way to follow her all the way to where she was going. Sick.

reaf #7.1 reafOG 2002

Yeah Seriuosly!!!

thatdarngirl #8 thatdarngirlOG 2002

When I was in drivers Ed we watched a video on road rage. This one guy got another guy (who had cut him off or something) to pull over..and when he did the guy got out and shot him with a hunting arrow.

beachbum #8.1 beachbumOG 2002

How dumb can you be to pull over for someone who is obviously very mad at you? What could you think they would want except to start a fight or worse. You have to weave & drive fast enough so if they do start shooting (guns, arrows, whatever)they can't get off a good shot at you.

reaf #8.1.1 reafOG 2002

yeah seriuosly
Why would you even pull over, unless you pulled over real quick, wait till they got out ran em over & took off..hahaha

malibu #8.1.2 malibuOG 2001

actually i would just get so scared that they were stalking me and everything i probably would have just pulled over and let him continue going. then if he followed me into the shoulder, i woulda pulled outta there like james bond.

iwz #8.2 iwz

wow! so was the video to give you creative ideas on killing people when they cut you off, or to discourage you from submissively pulling over for a madman?

thatdarngirl #8.2.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

I'm not quite sure as of yet..I've been thinking about it for the last two years and I haven't come to a definite conclusion.

rocksupastar #9 rocksupastarFounder

wow sooo crazy, thats when you pull out ur .45 and pop the tires!!!!!

reaf #9.1 reafOG 2002

Ha Ha ,, Yeah Basically!

malibu #9.2 malibuOG 2001

yeah and then you finish getting your tatoo of 666 on your head. (well not really but i couldn't think of another symbol for being in satans control.

sux2beme #10 sux2bemeOG 2002
