See You Next Tuesday

I had a terrifying experience yesterday. I was driving home from climbing with Aaron, enjoying the warm buzz of having pushed my body to it's limits of strength. I was going down Leach Hwy, in the far right lane as there was a fair bit of slower traffic, when a man in a huge 4WD decided I was going too slowly (about 108km).

Instead of doing what all sane people do and going around me (and he had more than enough room to do so), he decided to tail gate me to the point I was terrified he was going to ram my car. He then proceeded to flash his lights at me, and then just leave them on high beam in an attempt to blind me. This ensued for about 10-15 minutes. Quite frankly I was not going to be bullied into changing lanes when I had every right to be in the right lane still going past traffic that was clocking about 80km/hr. Also I was too scared to do anything as this man was clearly insane!

After tormenting me for 15 minutes he finally decided to change lanes and drive right next to me and attempt to yell and wave his fist. He then dangerously cut in front of me and drove about 80km an hour. Which was a nice speed for me to get close enough to get his rego number. He then took off at the South St Hwy.

I thought I was ok until I got in the door and fell in a shaking terrified heap in Tony's arms. What is wrong with people, how does someone get so angry with life that they think it is ok to terrify a stranger for kicks?

I rang the police with his rego number when I got home. At first they didn't seem to be that interested until I made them realise it was for 15 minutes, he tried to ram my car, and his only reasoning behind this behaviour seemed to be to terrify me and get his kicks from that. Then they listened to me. They looked up the guys details and are going to pay him a visit. They can't charge him as it's my word against his, but at least he'll get a talking to. I hope I ruin his fucking day, cause he ruined mine. C u next Tuesday....asshole!
