So today I think I have encountered the most irrational driver.

So as I was driving on a one way street there was this young, tight shirt wearing, gelled up hair, pasty white guido in front of me.

As we approached the red light, the road breaks into a turning lane and a turning lane/going straight lane.

There were a few cars in front of us in the turning lane/straight lane all but one turning. I was going into the turn only lane, when he decided to use it for his convenience and cut me off to go straight. I beeped my horn at him, he did nothing but flip me off.

The light turned green and he stayed put. I beeped again, he then went straight and cut off one of the other cars into the one lane road (who also beeped at him) and nearly caused an oncoming turning car to hit him.

I drove off thinking, that guy has some anger issues. But as I went onto another road, guess who decided to come after me.

Not just following me, but tailgating and touching my bumper at every red light for a bit. I tested to see if he really was following me or just an oblivious bad driver.

I went down east on a highway, then a giant loop back to the west part. His anger must have only built up, because he then started to come along side me and turn into me (with a meridian on the other side). I slowed down to get his license (down to 30k/hr from 80), he did the same and "touched" my bumper with his continuously.

I then decided to drive into a public parking lot (with people around) to see what he would do. Guess what, he followed me.

Not just that, but he nearly fish tailed my car into head on traffic (now my car has scratches on the side).

I didn't want to take chances, so I called the police. A person like that, who risks his life and others because someone honked at him, is fairly unstable.

Police came, he took off.

Silly me for honking my horn at someone who cuts me and other people off on a one lane road. Oh yeah, and I was late for my job interview. Still got the job, though
 
Why didn't you just beat the living shit out of him?????

Not going to lie, I contemplated it. The guy looked pretty soft and I've returned to my Muay Thai classes.

But it just wasn't worth the risk IMO, especially since I had a job interview to go to
 
Sounds hectic. Glad no one was hurt in it all.

Thanks, as weird as it sounds, I'm glad he didn't injure himself and especially other drivers doing something so petty.

The police report makes for a good story

No need for that. You did the right thing by calling the cops.
 
That's completely unreasonable. If a person did that to me I'd rage like a wild baboon.
 
TS, just know that you definitely had a better day than he did.


Or a better life in general. Glad you're safe, and congrats.
 
Get a tow bar put on your car, people aren't so keen to tailgate and bump your car when you have one

I bought a hatch back years ago off a lady and it had a tow bar on it, I thought it was pretty weird at first and was going to remove it eventually. Fast forward a few months later, some guy rear ends me at the lights. I get out to have a look, nothing happened to my car except for the tow bar being slightly angled upwards but this dude had a massive whole in his front bumper

From then on I figured that's probably why she had it and left it on. What could you tow in a bloody hatch back lol
 
pasty white guido
This is an oxymoron.

Glad you're okay though. You did the right thing calling the cops, you can never be too sure with someone like that.
 
Ahh....I have horrible road rage. But nothing like that.

He actually hit your car / bumper? You did the right thing by not engaging him, but damn, I don't know what I would have done. That's just bizarre, I've been in loud arguments outside of a car for much less.

Honestly, let's not lie, it would have felt great to hop out of your car and kick the fucking shit out of him.
