Rage on the Highway
Oh yes. It was rage on the highway. Last week I was driving to work, and this man in a van in front of me felt the urge to drive particularily slow. It was an 80 zone and he was doing around 68-71 KM/H. Most people do at LEAST 90 in an 80 zone. But he was in a work van and was obviously taking his sweet little time because he was on the clock. Which is fine by me. Good for him. So I went up behind him and flashed my lights to say "allow me to pass or hurry up" and then backed off so I wasn't tailgating him. He then slowed down even more, and when I would move left to see if there were any cars coming so I could pass he would swerve left too and block my line of sight. Then when I did try and pass he slammed on the gas and wouldn't let me. So I got back in behind him and he slammed on his brakes and I almost smashed into him. What in the world is this dudes PROBLEM!!! So being the calm, cool-minded individual that I am...I waited for an opportunity to pass and when I got in front of him I slammed on my brakes and made him swerve so hard he fishtailed into the shoulder and almost crashed. In case the police are reading this, this is all fabricated. I am a liar. I have a lying problem. For everyone else, this is the truth. These events are not fabricated. I am not a liar. So he got all mad and got up on my tail again which led me to believe he enjoyed it the first time I slammed on my brakes. So I did it again. Usually when people do this they just tap their brakes to scare the other person behind them. I'm telling you I hit my brakes SO hard , I was straight up disrespecting my brakes. He fishtailed again and the on-road battled continued for some 10 more minutes before we parted ways. I am now about to leave for work again. It is 7:22am in the morning. Eastern Standard time. It's also 11:23 pm in Fiji. Pray for me as I head into battle once more. And then probably again every day this week, pending the outcome of the battle today.

That's really funny. You should have taken down the number of the company he works for (if it was on the truck) or recorded his license plate, and called his employer or the police and told them that person was driving irratically, and you thought perhaps they were drunk. That would have taught him a lesson! Tehe! :)
I would have, but I noticed him writing something on a clipboard after brake jamming #1. I'm assuming he would contact the police about me if I did that. Not that I did anything WRONG or anything.......
