What's my play here? Road Rage trip report

[T.J. Combo]

The road to my house has four lanes for about 100 yards. I am in the left lane that the right one merges into and a car is fast approaching in the turning lane (this lane is meant for people to be able to turn into a shopping center and not for passing)

This car is trying to pass me, and the road is narrowing. . . what do I do?

Trip report in white below:

<font color="white"> My Silverado's V6 doesn't have the acceleration I need against this Camaro, so I'm unable to keep it from overtaking me, so I swirve into oncoming traffic so I don't get sideswiped, I brake, then get in my lane and get right on their ass and lay on the horn. I follow this car for a few miles before they run a redlight and almost cause a wreck trying to get away from me. </font>

How about slowing down so the car can pass you?

Yeah, that was what I would have voted for, had it been one of the options. I guess this course of action never occurred to the OP.

Slowing down was not an option with the amount of driving space provided, I would've had to come to a complete stop at 50 MPH in moving traffic.

All driving questions must be accompanied by detailed MSPaint art. This should be a requirement.

I think the real question is: What sort of issues do you have to let some jackass rile you up so much that you gotta CHASE HIM, while laying on your horn?

edit: Jesus christ, beaten to the punch! At least mine's cooler.

TJ-

Do you live in Wisconsin?

Ease off the gas, let your car coast while the jackass passes and go home.

Gesture to him indicating that he has a flat tire. When he gets out of the car to check on it, slit his throat.
