And the storry goes...
This morning on the way in to work i'm cruising along with the traffic in the left lane averaging 65 70 most of the way. I usualy leave 5 to 6 car lenghts in front of me at that speed espeically in the morning when all the women are puting on their make up and finishing their hair.
So this F250 black with a guy in dark black glasses was riding my arse all the way from 694 onto the exit onto 94 east/south, and he mearged in without using a turn signal right behind me. So he rides my rear bumper the whole way down and because the left lane was moving better than the others he stayed in it until he saw an oportunity to pass me however he had to floor it and even then he didn't have enough room because the right lane was driving slower and he was coming up on a car really fast.
He didn't use a turn signal at all, and all of the sudden he just jerks over into my lane, at the last second i jerk really fast over to the left going about 70 my rear end lets loose and i correct it and it whips on the other side and i correct it again.. luckally it didn't hook up otherwise i would of started flipping, but it continues sliding and i was able to calm it down and continue driving.
I hop on the phone and call 911, tell them what hapend, and the truck continues switching lanes like crazy to run away. I follow and i get his plates and report it to the police, he saw me reading the plates and giving it to the person on the phone, i pull ahead of him and signall him to pull over. I merged over all the way on the right side and i'm on the phone with 911 and he comes up to me and starts swearing and bitching and i just let the 911 person listen and tell them its the other driver. The 911 person says they are sending a squad car and that we should stay there. I told the guy i'm done talking to him and he goes over into the truck and sits there, never taking off his sunglasses that are as totaly dark, can't see his eyes.
The State Trooper arives and he listens to me first in the presence of the other guy. I told him what hapend and the guy's statement says that i was tryin to race him and that i sped up when he was trying to merge. I didn't say anything until the cop looked over and noded for me to say it. Asks us for insurance and license, i hand him my license and go get the insurance info from the car while the other guy is there talking to him saying he don't have insurance. I hand him the insurance information and they walk over to the side talk more the cop goes checks something on the computer comes back asks the guy to walk over to the car, patts him down i think i saw him cuffing him and puting him in the back of the car. 15 minutes later the tow truck comes loads up the other truck and the cop checks out the inside of the truck and pulls out what looked like a rifle case and puts it on the front of the squad car.
So my damage is a bit of adrenaline rush and shaky hands along with a scratched side mirror. I go take pictures of the truck damage, and mirror damage and the cop walks out and hands me my license, insurance and police report.
His damage, tow, cuffs, and who knows what else or why he got taken away.
As i was pulling away i see another squad trooper and a squad car pull up.
From there i know nothing.. pictures comping up.
