Well, I had my first official road rage experience last Friday where paint was actually exchanged. Here's how it went:
I was driving in Pete's big 'ol F-150 on the freeway to go home and I see this guy in a Toyota Carolla come across the lanes to get onto the interchange from the I-8 to Hwy 67. The interchange is only 2 lanes and I am in the left lane so, I move over to give him some room. Well, I guess he didn't see me move over for him and he moved over to. I took my foot off the gas and he saw me and assumed I was riding his ass on purpose I guess and he tapped his brakes and threw his hands up, so, I gave him the bird.
He speeds up and jerks over into the left lane again in front of another car and as I go by him I give him the bird again and mouth to him, "what the hell was that for" being that I moved over for him and he wasn't paying attention.....%%%%%. Well, I guess he didn't like that a woman gave him some attitude and he jerks over behind me and starts to tailgate me really bad. I could hardly see his windshield. I didn't brake check him like he did me. So thinking this guys in a hurry I move over. Well, he moves over in front of me and
slams his brakes and gave me the "thumbs down" sign.
Now I'm having to slam my brakes being in a much larger vehicle than him and I have other cars behind me. I swerve over the the lane next to me and he does the same and slams his brakes again, and I swerve again and he does the same again, and again, and again. Well finally there is a third lane that come up so I swerve over to get to that lane and he does the same I guess thinking I was going to brake hard again but, I didn't well.....his passenger side mirror hit the rear quarter of Pete's truck, it ripped off the gas cap cover and broke the gas cap to where the cap was stuck in the tube of the gat tank. His front passenger wheel made contact with the trucks chrome step-side and dented it up.
Well, I was able to get over and call the cops, he stopped also. As we were exchanging info he was asking me If we really need to wait to for the cops and I said "yes we do". Well, the cops showed up and got his statement first. He told the cop I swerved into his lane!! He failed to tell the cop what he did as far as break checking me over and over and purposely swerving in front of me over and over. Thankfully there were 2 people who called and witnessed the whole thing.
I told my insurance I am not paying anything out of pocket and that he will pay for being an idiot!
