We had just pulled out of the city and were behind a single cab Chevy pickup with a cannonball flatbed on it, well the speed limit on this highway is 65 mph and upon approaching the man I was behind him for a minute before I passed him as he was only doing 60 mph and I will admit I am one who always goes at least 5 mph over the speed limit...I know shame, shame, shame, on me!! I know I have mentioned in past posts that I am a truck girl, but I also drive my truck like it's a sports car sometimes :) But anyhoo, so my truck is a Dodge Mega Cab Dually with a Cummins diesel, that of course has been pricked and prodded with every performance thing Hubby can put on it to make it run better and faster! So anyhow I pass the guy and continue on my way going 70 mph and after a few minutes something catches my eye, so I look in my mirror and the guy that I passed is literally INCHES away from my bumper...Well I have no tolerance for idiots on the road, sorry just can't do it...It will piss me off every time..So I thought jerk and I sped up trying to get him to back off, well I finally am going over 80 mph and he was still right there on my bumper so I told my SIL to hold on because I was jamming the brakes. So I did a quick jam and release of the brakes hoping he would back off well that didn't work it only made him madder. SO he proceeds to pass me (mind you we are going about 80 at this point) and he swerves back over into my lane and then SLAMS on his brakes...almost to a stop, I had just said to my SIL this morning that I think I need my brake pads replaced as they aren't responding the way they should...So immediately I think OH S**T!!!! And I mean I slammed the brakes so hard that my truck tires were squealing and I kind of headed for the shoulder of the highway. So then he speeds up again and does it again, at this point I was again going so fast my truck wasn't stopping so I decided while he was stopped I would pass him quickly. So I go around him and he kind of swerves into our lane and so I get around him and jam my brakes again to see how he liked it...Well again he didn't so he proceeds to go around me again and then swerves towards us again and then once again slams to a stop... At this point I called 911 because I was seriously afraid of this guy, my poor SIL is covering her eyes because she doesn't want to see what's happening but of course she was there to help me return the bird everytime he gave it to us LOL!! So anyhow I give the dispatchers his tag number and model of truck etc. description of the truck and guy but unfortunately we never seen a sheriff or trooper so I don't know if they got him or not..But I stayed behind him for the remainder of the time that he was on the highway which was about 30 more minutes, and of course the man was again doing 60 in a 65!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I was not going to risk trying to pass him again as I am pretty sure he would have tried to run us into the ditch..
This whole thing just INFURIATES me!!! I did nothing wrong when I passed the man in the first place, of course hind sight is 20/20 and I shouldn't have hit my brakes first but he wouldn't back off no matter how fast I was going...I hope people like that feel like big idiots when they try to kill 2 young women!!!
My baby!!! Wo would want to hurt this beauty!!!!!!!! Well she's a little dirty here but she cleans up well!!! I think he just didn't like being passed by a girl LOL!!
