Awaiting a visit from teh po-po (AKA: I hate stupids)

I may not be the slowest driver in the highway, but I don't drive like an asshat either.

Today on my way home on 95, come up on a Neon attempting to pass an 18-wheeler. She was doing about 65. Truck is doing the same. After a few miles, I start to get a little impatient. I don't do anything aggressive at akk, like tail or anything else, jsut make a comment to Sara that this women needs to learn to use the accelerator. Suddenly she drops down to 60, starts weaving (while still next to the truck), and starts flipping me off. WTF?!? After another couple of miles of this, she punches it, gets by the truck, the slows down again. As I finally pass, she's still waving the middle at me, so I just give her a big smile and a thumbs up and continue on my merry way thinking she's simply an idiot.

I get to my exit, pull off, look in my rearview to see her dart off behind, still pointing and mouthing off at me. Pull up to the stop light with her behind me, and here's the best part, she's pulls out her cell phone and appears to start snapping pics of my plate. WTF#2!! Soon as the light turned, she dart off down a side street.

So, given her actions I have no doubt I'm expecting a visit from the local law enforcement for a discussion on her abilities (or lack there of) to drive. Sucks to be her though, considering Sara's boss' son is a detective with the local law enforcement, and I'm awaiting a call from him to discuss it as well. At first I just thought it was funny that someone was so pissed at me because they can't drive, but when she started taking pics, that bothered me.

 
At least you've got a better temper than me.

I probably would have gotten out of my car and walked up to her window to ask what the deal was in a less than polite way...

 
I wouldn't expect the PD to do anything. I had people do that before and like the police are going to respond to that. It's a one sided personal opinion, they cant give you a ticket for being an asshole, and it's a waste of their time. Nothing will come of this. Fear not.

 
In Auburn they've been known to pay a visit just so you know, they know. Or the next time they pull you over, you'll get a ticket not a warning.

And the line is:

YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE COPPER!

 
you should have gotten a pic of her plate?

Some asshat in a ford escape did something similar to me and i ended up passing him as an on ramp came up, not the smartest thing to do but it felt good. Sucks to have a slow SUV.

 
True story... I had JUST picked up my LGT brand new and was going to bring it to a friends house in windham so I went 302. The brother of one of my other friends didn't know it was me in the LGT so he decided to fudge with me. He came pretty close to rear ending me a few times. Finally he decided to be a real jerl and pass like 5 cars. When I got to the rotary there he was pulled over. He said the cop told him someone complained and was wondering if it was me. I didn't turn him in, but I'm glad someone did, punk.

 
Maybe she was a fan of teh SVX?

That's just...wrong. I was in the wagon, anyway.

I ended up running in into one of the local officers that day, and just asked him about the situation. He hadn't heard anything come up about me (pretty sad they know me, though), and that she was probably just being a grandma.

Maybe she is bummed out by the recent SWRT slump?

I had the same thing happen to me in Cape Elizabeth. I was in the old wagon which was loud as hell. I can around a corner going under the speed limit (30mph) and some guy on the side of the road started flipping out and screaming at me, I just waved and went by. In my rearview I could see he was on his cell phone presumably calling the cops.

Cops can't do anything unless they catch you in the act. They cannot issue a ticket based on a bystanders estimation of your speed. A judge would throw that out of court like week old chinese take-out.

That's funny.. I passed a guy doing 30 in a 50 (started about 15' before the passing zone) on my way to vote a couple of years ago (town hall and police station are attached). He tailgaited me all the way into the parking lot and then proceded to scream at me for about five min about how he was going to have me arrested bla bla bla...

I was standing at my car and popped the trunk (which made him back way off for some reason) and grabbed my front plate and a screw driver to which he started yelling "what are you going to stab me with it?????"

I proceded to put my front plate on the car nice and tight, put the screw driver away and told him to let me know how that complaint went.

guy had some issues.

 
i had a guy throw a bag of garbage at me as i was the last car on the group drive. i don't know why. it was a back road down along a lake early in the morning, and we didn't really have any loud cars, no one was being a jerk or driving like an ass hat, and we were all doing UNDER the posted speed limit and just crusing along, and we all moved into the other lane as he was standing along side of the road.

i really don't get people sometimes.

 
I have a simple solution.

Get a P.O. box.

Use it for your Driver's License address.

Register your car with same-said box.

I doubt the police will bother looking for you in a 6" x 8" box, but one never knows.

Be careful picking up your Import Tuner subscription the day after you scare some poor schlub.

LOL!
