The following happend about 45 minutes ago...


I was driving down 130 today from hamilton to east windsor, its an 18 minute drive. I am driving and an african american lady decides to tailgate me while I am going 60 in a 55, passing people in the left lane. I let this go on for about a minute hopeing she realizes what she is doing. Shes doesnt. I wave my arm out the window and make a back off! hand motion. No, no middle finger. I proceed to keep a steady speed of 60-61 and she still does not back off. Well, I give her the good ol' break check. I only hit the break hard enough so that the lights go on. This still does not deter her. If anything she gets closer. I know this sounds crazy what I am about to say, but its true. She was SO close she was probably close to 5 feet away from the back of my truck. I was able to see her smileing and shaking her head as if saying "thats not gonna work on me fool". So, I say screw it, and I hit the break....pretty hard too. I was going about 60, and I slowed down to 45 or so pretty quickly. Needless to say she backed off and got a look or horror on her face for a few seconds. Once she realized what had just happened I was able to see her get angry. She fortunately held her self back for a minute or so until there was not so much traffic. By this time I am at 62. I am not one to get angry and go on rampages and I certainly dont want to get hit from behind by an enraged african american women. I am trying my very best to stay calm, but what she does next pushes me to my limit. We are nearing an intersection, the light turns yellow/orange and neither of us have time to break in time. I am still on cruise control going 62. I am half way through the intersectoin when ouit of no where she veers in front of me, literally inches away as I slam on my breaks and doing everything I acn to avoid getting hit. Now that I think of it, I should have just let her hit me and she would be getting huge fines and paying tickets and possibly in jail, Then again, I may be in the hospital. Out of rage, I stomp on the gas and catch up to her. My window is down, hers is up, but I know she heard what I had to say. I basically told her I am going to call the police on her for what she has done. she kept on smiling and blowing kisses at me in a sarcastic manor. I took down her license plate number and type of vehicle it was and aproximate year. I am going through my own town and then I realize who is in front of me! Thats right! Angry african american women. We are both going 45 (speed limit) for about 2 miles when all of the sudden she pulls over to the side of the road, where there is no shoulder. I have to swurv left and narrowly avoided hitting her. I honked graciously and passes. Now that I think back about it, she probably thought I was following her which is why she pulled over. It just so happens we live in the same town. I continue to go for another mile or so and say ya know what....im gonna call the cops. And thats exactly what I did. I dialed 911 and told them everything. The only problem was that they could have cared less. My whole situation started in washington township which is 7-8 minutes from where I was. The officer told me to call washington township. I looked online to find their number but was not able to find it. So I just say, she better pray we dont meet again on the road. This time things will be a lot different. And I am not saying I will run her off the road, becasue I certainly will NOT do ANYTHING like that. Next time I wont break, I will let her hit me. she will cause an accident and there will be a lot of fines headed her way hopefully.
