Traveling South on 349 just North of Midland on 349. 4 lanes + left turn lane and full shoulders on both sides.
I'm traveling at 55 MPH, the posted maximum speed limit, in the left hand lane when I noticed a 18 wheel truck in the left turn lane with his turn signal on trying to merge into traffic. I check my mirrors, turn signal on and move into the right hand lane to allow other vehicle to merge into traffic. When I checked my mirrors, I did notice traffic well behind me and that 1 vehicle was apparently speeding, but also determined that it was safe for me to move over. After I moved into right lane this F-150, came up and then passed me on the shoulder then swerved in front of me and slammed on his brakes. I was able to slow down enough to avoid hitting him but he stayed in front of me and continued to hit his brakes thinking I might rear end him. When he evidently realized I was not going to hit him, he sped up and then had to stop at the traffic light at Loop 250 where I was able to pull up behind him. When the light turned green he continued to remain stopped although other traffic was moving. After a few moments, I honked my horn for him to move and he rolled down his window and flipped me his finger. Then he started to move, but kept hitting his brakes trying to make me hit him again. This guy is a complete imbecile and if he is driving your company vehicle, you should consider firing him before he causes an accident that will only cost your company money.
First, let me set the scene roughly.
