Default Maybe the luckiest man around.......

So I'm driving home from shopping for my ladies birthday gift, and in a good mood, thinking about the nights events to come. I'm on a road that has 2 lanes going north, and traffic was very light. when approaching an intersection, a car rolls through on my right going west, and didn't appear to be able to stop in time for the light. as his front end enters my lane, I gas it, and swerve ever so slightly entering the left lane, and back over. DAMN! very near miss, but he did get stopped. the minivan behind me to the left blasts me with the horn, and the young lady sitting in the passenger side politely gives me the finger, and I can hear the driver shouting obsenities at me. I wave, and forget about it. At the next light,the minivan stops 10 car lengths behind the car in front of him, and I can tell he's waiting for me to stop so he can pull along side. I stop next to him and apologize for scaring them, but they did not see the other driver nearly hitting me, the reason for me swerving in the first place. He says alright, but he has an infant in the car, thats why he was so pissed. I apologize again, and noone was hurt, and no vehicles got damaged, so its all good. He agrees.
About 3 seconds later, I hear him screaming over to me again that I am "Lucky" I said "excuse me?" he says "I said your lucky, 'cause I don't Play"
Being somewhat familiar with the teenage vernacular, I assume he means I'm lucky he didn't get me along the side of the road and attempt to assault me.
I reply "thank you..I feel very lucky"
This seems to aggravate the young man, and he asks me in a rather rude way to pull over up ahead. I am now getting extremely aggravated myself, as are the other motorists that are unfortunately trapped behind the 2 idiots now at full roar in the middle of the road. I said "Alright mother f@#$er, YOU GOT IT. I'm pulling over right up here."
I pull away, and he pulls in behind me, I slow, and let all the traffic pass us, and I proceed to pull over in a convenient spot. This guy is pissed, I see the van stop even before I do, and I gradually come to a stop about 50 feet in front of him. I see him leap from the van, and start marching my way. When hes about 10 feet or so from my car, I yell to him out the window, "I'M JUST PLAYIN' " and leave him in a cloud of dust, tires squealing. I laughed to myself the rest of the 1/2 hour ride home.
For the record, I did get "Lucky" later that night.

Hell ya similar situation although the dude just cut me off the after I asked wtf he's was doing he proceeds to do the whole pull over Muthfukr and all that which I did I was given no chance the dude kept throwing his car at mine and wouldent back off I really tried to avoid contact. He stopped quick and got outta his car with a beer bottle <--- go figure lol . Anyway once I saw the bottle either going at the z or my head couldn't really tell I pulled the SIG out and that stopped really quickly never thought if ever have to pull out my gun on someone. But I knew I wasent in the wrong and was scared for my life ( dude was massive tattooed Hispanic man). Anyway I calmly told him I felt threatened and I was going to shoot and he quickly scrambled back to his car wether to get a gun or run idk but I took off outta there like a bat outta hell . And he chased me for a bit but c'mon he was in mustang he dident stand a chance anyway I LOVE TEXAS and hate ridiculous drunks

Oh yeah and allways carry. Better to have it and not need it that need it and not have it!

Good for you. I'd pull a gun if I felt that a) my life and well-being was at risk or b) my property was at risk.

OP:

I can not understand why people could think you were just swerving to be a rude idiot, while they all saw the car run the light.

I would not stop to engage this yahoo, after your first chat.

What bothers me most is that this fellow will go to raise a child to behave like him. If you had engaged him I'd like to think the police arrive, you explain the situation and Child Protective Services determines he is an unfit father. At least the kid might get a chance in this world.

I carry a pistol as well, but.... Why most of you are always so reliant on guns??? Men today are so afraid to scrap. Most of you would pull out for someone putting up there dukes... Sounds real cowardly to me. Fighting builds character. You win some you lose some.

My piece will only come out with eminent danger present. If you can't tell what that is or when it's going to occur? Stay home....

Too many cowards these days.

This is probably one of the most immature, irresponsible acts I've read about in a while (and there have been plenty).

Next time you may not be so lucky.
