I was driving back from Zack's house at about 10:30pm on the Saturday of memorial day's weekend when a small white truck pulled out behind me and started riding my tail. He wasn't just tailgating me but riding so close I couldn't see his headlights in my rear view mirror. The roads were curvy and I didn't want to get in a wreck because of some idiot so I slowed down to 35-40. Apparently this only infuriated Mr. White Mitsubishi, so he proceeded to pass me on a double yellow while flipping me off. I wasn't surprised. I already knew he was an idiot, I just didn't know how much so.
He passed me, flipped me off and Logan and I laughed at this retard. Then, my shirtless, redneck friend slowed down to around 20mph and repeatedly flipped me off while staring out the window back at me. Kinda creepy. Logan and I laughed again because obviously this guy had to get somewhere important, which was why he slowed down to flip me off and show me what a tough guy he was.
Being the safe driver I am, I pulled off onto a side road in order to diffuse the situation. But apparently the freaker in the white mitsubishi decided he had more to stay. I pulled onto the road and found that he had turned around to come back for more. He pulled into my lane in order to block me off so he could have his say (or start a fight or who knows what). Anyway, I pulled onto the shoulder and went around him before gunning it all the way home. My car was not made for a 90mph high speed chase. However, it got the job done and he was unable to pursue me because of my amazing driving skills. Once I got around him I floored it and saw him trying to turn around to chase me down. Again, fortunately he appeared to have some trouble turning around and I was gone in no time.
So yeah, just thought I'd share that. So, be careful of other drivers, especially drunk rednecks.
Normally I'm not a proponent of speeding, however this is not "normally". I think your best point was about the important place he obviously had to be. How quickly his hurry was forgotten when his blood started to boil. Sounds like you had some quick thinking and a few blessings. We're glad you made it out!
I know instances like this are rare, but they do happen! I know I get teased sometimes for locking my doors and things like that, but things do happen and I just want to be as prepared as possible for all those idiots on the highway!
I sure thanked Heavenly Father in my prayers that night for helping my boys make it home safely.
