3 or 4 years ago I was parked at a red light. The light turned from red to green and evidently I was not fast enough out of the box so the car behind me honked at me 3 or 4 times as I was driving.
After the 3rd or 4th honk I gave him a quick finger and went to move to the right lane so he could pass me. Instead of passing me he proceeded to move to the right lane with me and follow me.
He tailgated me, at first after 5 minutes of following me, I thought maybe he lived in the general area where I lived until he followed me onto my street. As I approached my home I drove past it as I knew by this point that he was following me to my home within inches of my car.
I went around the block and back out the other side and stopped at a stop sign with traffic going both ways onto the main drag.
The man then got out of his car and came to my car (I instantly locked all my doors) and started beating my windshield, shaking my car and calling me all sorts of profanities and telling me he was going to kick the (profanity, profanity) out of me. When I wouldn't get out of my car he started punching my windshield and calling me a ##### and screaming that he wanted to fight me so he could end me.
I went to call 911 but of course my cell phone was dead so I could not. I proceeded to drive away and leave him there.......until he caught up with me. I slowed down and he tried to pass me and slam on his breaks. I am glad he did because I was prepared for it and used it as an opportunity to get his license plate number.
He then drove away from me and finally left me alone as I drove to the police station and filed a report. A police officer called me that night to tell me to draft up an email for him regarding the incident, which I did. Unfortunately the police officer never did get back to me.
The fact that nothing was done about this doesn't sit that well with me because it basically makes these people believe they have a right to do this without consequence.
