Sorry mods, I didn't know where to put this thread.
I was driving with my fiance southbound on the Merrit Parkway in CT going to a friends house. As we pass an on ramp, I notice a guy in a Green Buick enter the highway with a Silver Audi A4 coming up pretty fast in the right lane. I was pretty much right next to the A4 so he couldn't turn out of the way quickly. He slowed down and turned into the left lane properly. The guy in the Buick speeds up and cuts between the two of us, there was NOT enough room for this guy to get in, so the A4 had to slow down. I have NO idea what this morons problem was, as I am looking in my mirror I see him brake check the guy in the A4 HARD. He almost came to a complete stop from 60 MPH in the left lane of the highway. I slowed down cause I thought they were in an accident at first. Then I saw the A4 swerve into the right lane to avoid the Buick. I think if he didn't have AWD, he would have lost it. Now we are driving about 65 MPH and the guy in the buick comes up behind me, REALLY CLOSE. I am about to move over when he does and he speeds up next to me. I was just looking at this guy thinking what an A$$HOLE. Then I notice he is turning into my lane. I was now riding the edge of the highway about an inch from the curb with this a$$shole HALF in my lane. I tried slowing down and he slowed down too. So i just floored it and got away from him. Thank god my car is faster than his. I didn't know what to do at first. After driving rather slow next to an SUV to keep him behind me where he CANNOT do that again, I noticed a Mercedes flashing his light coming up fast. I pulled up and into the right lane and the Mercedes pulls up next to us. The guy had a piece of paper and his cell phone, motioning to let me know he got his plate. Cool guy. My fiancee got his plate number too. About 5 or 6 miles later and 4 exits later this anus comes up again and tried to hit me. I was in the right lane and he just swerved hard into my lane like he was trying to clip the front of my car. I SLAMMED on the brakes and swerved hard to the left cause his ugly car was slowing in my lane pretty fast. Now it was AWD that saved me this time. The a$$hole IMMEDIATELY pulled off the exit. He made sure to do this where i can't follow him.
We continued on to our firends house and called the police. Wouldn't you know this was one of those rare times that i forgot my cell phone at home? I gave the officer a statement over the phone. He said I would have to meet with him and would have to go to court. We gave him the plate number for the Buick and the Mercedes as a witness. The officer said that if the witness doesn't want to go to court, it would just be my word against his on this whole incident. He said if I didn't want to go to court that he will issue the guy a verbal warning. I decided with MUCH hesitation to not go to court. If I could be certain I would have a witness there, I would go in a heartbeat. My word against his? I don't think so. I am just pissed that this guy will get away with this. He WILL kill someone one day. I am confident on that. Did I do the wrong thing by not going to court?
