Sooo, today traffic is backed up on I-95, which is the road i get to anywhere around here on. So i take a back-ish way and get tailgated all the way by a huge SUV ( and bear in mind i have a Lead Foot at the best of times.)
We get to a sort of larger highway where the road dips and hides oncoming traffic to my left, so i take a second to really look, and Mr, Up My Tailpipe behind me Leans on his Horn, instantly and repeatedly.
I have a flashback to when my Mom was driving me somewhere in the days after the stroke when i did not drive, and some jerk did that when she was stopped at a side road and she Went, almost killing everyone involved...."But he was honking at me".
i slam the car into Park, whip off my seatbelt, stomp back and Scream at the guy (13 years in a shipyard can be Very helpful!)
Get back in my car, safely make my left, proceed...he follows at a far distance, after about a mile pulls off somewhere. A cop car pulls me over in less than a minute...i was reported as "weaving".
I was clearly sober, alert, and had just been getting my Emissions test, the very nice young cop checked my license and told me to have a nice day. I told him everything as described above and suggested the asshole (yes, i used that word!) should be cited for wasting police time and false reporting.
Dimes to dollars if i had pulled out and got in a wreck he would have worked his way around the carnage like the asshole behind my Mom did.....
Thinking about a carry permit, but will cool down tomorrow no doubt.
