It was about 9pm and I was leaving a gas station and waiting for a break in traffic before pulling out into the street. At which point i notice an SUV coming from my left moving along at a pretty good clip (i guess around 70-80km/hour, that might be 45-50 mph i think). So anyways the vehicle swerves a bit almost as if they are going to turn into the gas station, but i'm not sure. Either way they were going WAY too fast and drove right up and onto the curb which was about 10 ft away from me. Luckily for me the force of the impact threw the truck back out into the street and narrowly missed my car instead of plowing into the drivers side which was its course. The truck fishtails and skids a bit but proceeds along its way as if nothing happened. Still speeding as it goes. I nearly shit myself. I thought i was dead.
Normally i would expect a person to stop their car and apologize or at least see if they wrecked their wheels, which i bet they probably did. But they just took off which REALLY pissed me off. So i took off down the road after them. It was at this point that i realized that either this person was really drunk or something else was going on. They were weaving all over the road. There was a car between me and them and they were keeping their distance, so i couldn't get close enough to get the plates. So i continued tailing them for a bit until i could get close enough to get the plates and had my girlfriend who was in the passenger seat call the police. I continued following them through a residential neighborhood where they driver became overly cautious and stopped at a stop sign for like 15 seconds. Anyways at this point my gf got through to the police and gave all the info and we decided to stop following them. As we turned back towards home we saw the cops coming within about a minute. I'm pleased with the response time.
So i don't know how it ended up. I really hope this person didn't end up hurting anyone, and i didn't hear about any drunk driving related incidents last night....so i'm hoping it turned out OK. I was hoping for a return call from the police with an update, because they sometimes do that around here, but i never got one.
Anyways what really pisses me off, is that if this person made it home without the police witnessing them in the vehicle, i'm not sure if there is much that they can do. THEY ALMOST FUCKING KILLED ME AND MY GIRLFRIEND, and they may have gotten off scot free . Once i started driving home the gravity of the situation hit me and i started shaking and i couldnt stop for like an hour.

About a month ago I was following my gf home and was just about to go through a green light. A motorcycle comes out of nowhere on my right side and runs the red, easily going about 90mph. If I had been a tad faster going through the light, he'd have died instantly and my car would have been absolutely demolioshed. It made me so fucking mad, but I knew there was no way I'd ever catch up with the guy.
But yeah MF, wreckless drivers are the worst.

especially wreckless drivers who then blame YOU for not being wreckless.
Yesterday, I was driving along 8mph over the speed limit.. and this asshole started tailgaiting me something fierce... so i tap the brakes a bit. He proceeds to speed around me, and flip me off... and the cuts infront of me at a light. I proceed to pelt his car with pennies.
so the asshole gets out and says that i shouldnt act like i own the road, threatens to kick my ass until i get out of the car... then he takes a step back, points to the pennies and says... "these are your pennies" and gets in his car.
He takes off from the light going about 20 mph... and i just get into the next lane to pass, and he, predictably, swerves right in front of me... he then drove off.
it was fun.
