Here's another one from not too long ago. I was driving to work in the morning on the Autobahn. Opposed to the majority around me, I actually do care about other drivers and what they are planning to do, because I have the opinion that traffic only works if everyone participates a tad. Anyway, I was driving in the middle one of three lanes with maybe 130 km/h (81 mph), when I saw a group of faster cars approaching on the left lane. It was obvious that the car in front, an average black Golf V with an average, middle-aged couple in it, was tailgated by its followers, because it seems he was not going fast enough for them (maybe doing 150-160 km/h (94-100 mph) though). As soon as he had passed the truck he was overtaking at the time, he changed to the middle to let them by. At the same moment, I spotted a fairly large gap on the right lane, and immediately decided to jump in there to let him pass on the middle lane, and then jump out again.
Unfortunately, the guy gradually decreased his speed and ended up right on my left side, doing exactly the same speed as I did. That couldn't work for long, because I was approaching another truck on the right lane. So, I let myself drop back a bit checking the rear view mirror making sure the lanes are free, crossed the middle lane to the left and accelerated again. Unfortunately, it seems the Golf couple understood this as an act of war, because he immediately jumped to by back and tailgated me. I just thought I won't put up with this crap, but I couldn't go anywhere else because the right and middle lane were occupied, so I out-accelerated him on a straight piece to maybe 210 km/h (131 mph). Obviously, he couldn't follow. But shortly after that, a junction was coming up, together with a 100 km/h limit (62 mph). So I slowed down and changed to the middle lane which was almost empty, when he approached from the back, braked hard to sit right next to me on the left lane and block me. I had to drive behind a huge truck doing 80 km/h (50 mph), and he actually matched his speed to make sure I stay there. Only when a few cars had gathered behind him starting to honk, he slowly accelerated away.
I had to wait quite some more time, to let all the cars on the left lane pass, and then went out again. As I said, I didn't want to put up with this, so I didn't pay any more attention to him. He had other plans it seems, cause he was driving slowly in the middle lane, waiting for me. After I had passed him, he tailgated me again. As I had to leave the Autobahn here, I changed to the right lane and slowed down gradually. Until now I had thought that it all was his idea, and she was waiting to die or even trying to talk him out of it ... until they passed me for a final time, and she gave me the finger through the side window. I couldn't do anything but to laugh out loud.
I mean ... what the hell did these guys smoke? Just because I am in a BMW, does it mean that I'm a reckless driver and that I'd like to push everyone off the road? I behaved correctly here, I was even trying to help him. That however led to a middle-aged couple driving recklessly and dangerously and giving me the finger. What has the world come to?
