ATTACKED! A road rage story

[e_racer1999]

well, i got punched in the eye today. i had just barely left my house and turned onto mira mesa blvd (a main street around here) and was going through an intersection that had a dip.. soooo... i slow down since my car is lowered and this dodge ram gets right on my arse.... i'm like "whatever" and keep driving (#1 lane). my fiancee is driving right next to me (#2 lane), and next thing you know this guy is weaving in and out through traffic and riding peoples' asses.

eventually i end up ahead of him and i cross into the #2 lane right as this guy is cutting through a couple lanes.... he rides my arse until the next stoplight where there are cars already waiting. he pulls up next to me and slams his truck into "park" gets out and is like "what now?!?!" or something, and punches me in the eye (through my open car window) and almost breaks my glasses. my fiancee is in the #3 lane a little ahead of me and sees this, jumps out to see if i'm alright, and he threatens to run her over. her cousin is in the car and so amber (my fiancee) tells her to write down his licence plate number.

when she says this, he jumps into his truck and tries to run her over, but runs out of room (there was a lot of weird maneuvering going on). eventually, the light turns green and he sppeds off, but luckily we got all his info...

also luck, there was a cop just a few streets ahead, and when i pull a u-turn at the light i fishtail a little and pull over. seeing this invitatiob the cop pulls over and i giver her all the info. crazy $^!#....

good thing this guy didn't have a gun.. crazy people

I had a similar incident here the guy started following my friend and I at the time I wasn't sure why he decided to follow me but we were going through some backstreets with roundabouts and my 260z was able to manouver through them quite well but on one of them he lost control of the car he was driving and ended up on the nature strip. I took off but he someone found my friend and I at a stop light he walked up I wound down the window calmly and he just went nuts and I copped a punch to the face.

Turns out the car was stolen and he was probably paranoid so that's what probably set him off. It's not a nice feeling but I'm alot older now and would probably have dealt with the situation differently and avoided the whole thing.

Live and learn I guess.

I had some scary $^!# happen to me too.

I was coming home from school in huntington beach. I'm going on edinger flyin in the 300e doing like 70 in the #2 lane. Theres only two lanes and i'm on the farthest the the left. I'm Just crusin not lookin for trouble or nothin (but then again i'm a dark skin kid in a nice benz what do u expect?). THis dumb arse in a white accord with a bike rack on the roof wants to come out of a neighberhood on the other side of the road. He thinks its the perfect time to go when i'm comin down flyin. I cant stop that quick. pulling in front of me is stupid. So i move to the right lane at the last second(BTW the benz handles great at last second moves at these speeds). He punches the Accord in the lane i was just in and dosnt want to let me in again. So we are both even doing like 90. I downshift to third and the benz flys by him. I pull in front of him barely. He is now furous. We get to a stop light (a #3 lane is now available) and he pulls next to me (almost running the car coming off the road) He starts cussing callin me some "very bad things". I also exchanged some "freandly words" with him and told him to keep his arse in his cheap $200 peice of $^!# accord before i knock his arse out. He looks to be as if he had been drinking. The light turns green and he punches it, moves two lanes to the right and comes within inches of the front end of my car.......I was signalling right so i can get on the freeway. I'm pissed now. Hes now almost damaged my car. :mad:

I'm going to have to teach him a little lesson. The entrance of this free way starts on the right side of this road (edinger and beach if u know this area), It starts as one lane turns into two then back to one as it merges back to the 405south. He is in front on me when the lane is one (this is seconds before he cut me off) I decide to make my own lane. I squeeze my benz in between his peice of $^!# and the side of the road. I maybe had 2 inchs (my drivers side mirror to his passanger side mirror). I'm now in fonr of him and a little way later the lane turns into two. He trys to get in front of me but i wont let him

I decide to end this now and downshift once more on the 405 and kiss him good bye. I dodge traffic for a while then nail 122mph. After looking in my rear veiw mirror (after about two miles) he is nowhere in sight. I'm glad the ordeal is over. I decide to slow down. So i put it in cruise control at about 60mph and cruise for a while. About three miles down the road i see a car comin fast on me right behind me.

HES BACK. And very mad. Hes now on the phone tailgating me. He tries to get even with me a few times a dont let him. He tryies to run me off the road. We are both very mad right now. I now know i'm in danger. This guy has stopped whatever hes doing, where ever he is going and is determined to destroy my car. This has now been going on about 7miles. I decide not to go home. The last thing i want is him knowing where i live. I gun the car again. THis time inbetween traffic. 122 mph (its computer limited the car wont go faster with the Ecu programming) I lose him for a while but i always got some car infront of me trapping me. He would always get me again. Huggin the rear of my car. I exit next to the south costa plaza. I come to a light and he is right behind me. Still on the phone, still too close to me, still mad. He waves at me (not in a freandly manner) i wave back and smile.

Hes about to see me drive a benz like i stole it. :devious: THe light turns green i slam the gas as hard as i can making a left (again the car handles great and i lose him on the straight away (harbor blvd in costa mesa if ur still following me). IN and out of traffic. Hes now followed me 17miles. I decide to do something stupid. there are 5 lanes on harbor blvd. Two make a left turn two must go straight and one makes a left. I'm in lane #2 hes in lane #3 (both must go staright...well thats what the law says anyway). Theres a bus in the far right lane (#1) getting readdy to make a right. There are a few cars in front of me and hes about 4 cars behind me in the left lane to me. I wave at him as the lane turns green.....right before i make a right from the #2 lane next to the city bus. I laugh as he he is forced to go straight into a ghetto area he is not fimiliar with. I waste no time. I gun it home (about 5 blocks away). As i was aproacing my house i slow down....right as i turn in my drive way a cop rolls by. IF he was around while i was doing this stuff man...i'd be in trouble.

I realize now...i was in serious danger. I drive more carefull now. I cant affored to be doing this stuff. Especailly when my z is done. I later remembered the neighborhood he came out of him. Me and my freands later paid him a visit in my freands impala. Lets just say his accord will be off the road for a while. It now looks uglier than it was when he was messin with me.

PLEASE DO US ALL A FAVOR!!!!!! DONT DRINK AND DRIVE!!!!! IF YOU WANT TO ENDANGER UR LIFE FINE!!!! JUST DONT TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!!! I HAVE MY Z TO FINISH FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!! :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: :stupid:

sorry its so long. kinda got caught up with it again.

Have been through those experiences and now being a little older and a little wiser I try to avoid these arse holes no matter what it takes and let me tell you it sure is not easy !!!! Please be safe out there !!!! Let's enjoy our Z's !!!

[e_racer1999]

ya, driving nowadays (has it ever been better?) is crazy. there's some people out there with more temper than brains..... maybe someday there will be all considerate drivers. that aren't crazy.

[bemmerguy714]

Please be safe out there !!!! Let's enjoy our Z's !!!

I tired to leave the confrontation when i jumped on the freeway but he wanted to run me off the road. I do agree thou, it was a dumb move for me to go back. :disappoin

I've learned my lesson thou. i'll be more carefull. I just put it this way. I shouldnt have done that. What if someone did that to my z? i would have been happy. i feel bad now...
