I don't care if this ends up in the round file, I just need to vent...

While pulling on to 93N to go home today (dual 4-lane highway for those not from Boston), I ended up passing some riced up car on the left. Of course, the engine is at 6,000 and climbing, so it's screaming. The moron probably thought I was trying to race him, so he practically climbs up my ass for a ways, so I tap the brake a few times...nothing hard, just a warning. He goes to pass me on the right, I see it, so I slam on the brakes KNOWING he's going to try to swing tightly in front...got it correct He flies by, then jams on his brakes right in front of me. Lucky for me the S2000 has brakes 10 times better than some debadged Civic.

I hop on the cell phone and call the police to tell them where I am, their license plate number, etc. This schmuck and his friends saw me on the phone, so they hightailed it out of there and pulled off at the next exit.

I have no idea if the police ever caught up with him, but I hope the little bastard rots in hell. He had us STOPPED in the middle of a major highway, giving me the finger. The asshole actually thought it was cute. I'm just hoping he ends up in some huge accident and breaks his legs off at the hip.

Oh, and just in case someone knows this little shit...his license is (I believe) 29Y T10 (my passenger claims it was 21 instead of 29, but that's close enough for police work). It was white and debadged. I wasn't sure about the exact type of car, but it's a fairly late model, more than likely a Honda or Mitsubishi, fat fart can hanging out the back.

 

Okay take a deep breath and relax. Maybe in hindsight when he jumps on your ass you pull over and let him go instead of tapping the brakes. It might be an inconvenience, but he is being a jerk anyway. He probably got pissed with the brake thing and thought you wanted to play.

 

The world is full of idiots, just dont' egg them on in any way.

 

A jerk like that was killed last week a couple of miles from my house. He was reportedly weaving through traffic cutting people off. He then pulled in front of a Saturn who had tapped his brakes as the guy was tailgating. The moron slammed on his brakes, the Saturn hit him causing him to loose control and roll 5 times down the freeway. Luckily the Saturn driver was only slightly injured. The fool who won the Darwin award had a suspended license and was driving a Chevy Blazer. Better to just move to the right and let those azzholes by than to be on the scene when they tempt Darwin.

 

I agree with Reds2, in the future pull over and let the guy pass you, or haul ass and get out of the situation. I consider this situation similar to "what do you do with a drunk driver" - you get out of the way.

Mac,

My turn... Why in the did you have er rippin at 6k during a nice polite passing of The Mister DeBadge . You know better than that .
When ever I come across someone like that I just chill out and move on nice and like. I don't need to give, nor receive any blood.

BTW, I'm just hoping he also ends up with hips broke off the legs.

 

I hate people like that too, but can you do that? I mean, wouldn't a cop have to actually see the incident to do anything about it? I'm just asking....

 

Why bother withe idiots like that? Just hit the slow lane and let the moron pass; if he still tailgates u, then its the time to call the cops

 

Worst part about it is that these idiots are all over. There is no escaping them.

Just pull over and let them think they won.

 

Maybe you guys just aren't imagining the experience quite right...

I-93 is usually quite packed at this time of the day, for one. Two, the idiot civil engineers here in Boston designed the entrance ramp just before the exit ramp, which means people trying to get ON to 93 have to speed up to the flow of traffic (65 mph, but people go a LOT faster) while mingling and avoiding the people slowing down to a near stop to get OFF of 93.

So, The guy was originally in front of me. We both pull into the frist lane, I'm still in third. I pull into the second lane and hit the gas before the guy coming up in the second lane rides up my ass. Ricer pulls in front of me, so I shift into the third lane and continue passing (I had a lot more power, obviously). He pulls in behind me and rides my ass. Now please note that traffic is surrounding both of us at this point, and we're doing about 75.

I tap (not slam, just tap) my brakes 3 times to back him off. He stays on my bumper REALLY tight until I start slowing down (just let off the gas, no brake). He pulls into the second lane to pass, and I let him. But I KNOW he's going to pull into the third lane LONG before he's in front of me to scare the shit out of me. Lucky for me my guess was correct...ass soon as he was even with me and passing, I jammed on the brakes pretty hard...JUST in time to have him swerve back into the third lane in front of me. The little shit would have taken my bumper off had I not hit the brakes...he was obviously trying to wreck me.

He flew by so fast since he was passing and I was braking, I think it surprised him a bit. He was several car lengths ahead, but jammed on his brakes. Remember, we're surrounded by cars...luckily no one too close behind us, although several swerved into other lanes to avoid hitting me. We came to a complete stop, but I couldn't get around this guy because he was so close to my front bumper.

I noted his license, let him take off after flipping me the bird, then stayed about a quarter mile behind him to see where he would turn off (and I KNEW he would turn off). Next exit he ditches it...evidently some of his friends were following, but I didn't see them until they pulled in behind him to get off 93. To say that he was going unGodly speeds to get away form the scene is an understatement...he was EASILY doing over 110.

I didn't egg this guy on, and I think considering the circumstances I did what was proper. I got out of the way, let him pass, then promptly called in his license and car. Regardless, I still hope he dies a horrible, painful, fiery death.
