that's crazy....i've never had anyone chase me before, though i have seen some real nutcases out there. not long ago, this guy in an old crapped-out accord cut me off aggressively when there really was no need for it - it's not like we were real close to the next exit or anything, and if he'd have used his turn signal to let me know he needed over i would've let him in, but that swerve right in front of me got me a little irritated, and i decided to stay where i was - meaning that the 40' gap he swung into didn't get any bigger, meaning i was pretty close to his tail for 1/4 mile...and all of a sudden the crackhead swerved off the road onto the shoulder and motioned for me to come up beside him or pass him or whatever. i didn't want any of that, so i just motioned for him to go on, and he did....as i drove along, just shaking my head in amazement.
while we're on the subject, one thing that really irritates me is coming into my office complex every morning. we have two stop signs and 3 speed bumps over the course of the entrance drive, and while i'm not above pulling a rolling stop through the stop signs (like everyone else does), i have to crawl over the speed bumps to avoid bouncing myself into the headliner and destroying my alignment and probably my suspension. for some reason or another, though, several morons around here think they can just drive right through the back end of my car when i do this....they get right up on me and practically rear-end me, which really irritates me. some guy did it to me this morning in a buick park avenue (guess he doesn't even feel the bumps w/ the suspension in that boat), and i walked into the building behind him (after noticing him casting a ticked-off glance toward my car (i parked much farther away than he did). i was actually planning on making a comment to him, since i caught up to him at the elevator, but there was some other lady getting on, too, and i didn't want to start anything with her right there....
all in all, road rage is a scary thing. i'll admit that i get irritated easily when people tailgate me or cut me off, and sometimes i drive a little too aggressively myself (thus making me slightly hypocritical, i suppose), but i can't fathom why you'd get so ticked off that you'd chase somebody off the beaten path or, worse, pull out a gun or something. crazy world we live in....
