Well, this week continues on its terrible start.
Whilst coming home tonight I was driving at 70 along the M9 when up a head I spotted a slightly slower car I think about pulling out but there was a rover 75 closing in on me so I decide to take it easy and lift off slightly to let the 75 past. As he gets closer I indicate let him past and pull out after a quick check of the mirror.
Oh s
t!
There's a Mini Cooper S planted to my bumper with an incredibly irate driver making cut throat gestures and trying to make me pull over. I put my hand up in apology as I honestly did not have any idea he was there. I pull back in sharpish expecting him to come alongside shout at me then drive on. Apparently not he pulls straight in behind me continuing to gesture that he was going to kill me.
At this point having never experienced this sort of behaviour before I'm crapping myself and trying to think what to do. So I speed up a little to try and get home quicker and maybe to safety. This doesn't work, the guy is glued to me. I can't take him near my place as god knows what he might be capable of. So I think about safe areas. First thing that comes to mind is the local police station thinking that I'll either scare him off or be a bit more secure, so I continue through town with the fella in tow.
we park up at the station. I get out to talk he just puts down the window, many expletives later and a suggested trip to the optitians he buggers of leaving me a little shaken.
I know the incident was my fault as I should have been more aware of my surroundings when driving, but does anyone else feel that his reaction was appropriate?
