Sped past me while I was going the legal speed limit for my area, cut off two lanes of traffic (almost causing an accident) without a turn signal to get in the left turning lane, and as I drove up behind her to get in the same lane, she was half way out in the intersection. And when the light turned green, she didn’t move because she was texting on her phone, so I honked (as any reasonable person would do) and she sped up around the turn then slammed on the brakes attempting to cause an accident. I must’ve been inches away from hitting her car. And since I didn’t hit her car, she flipped me off and cursed me out! My passenger got photos of the car and license plate number and we reported it to the police when we reached our destination. Turns out, it’s not the first time she’s had the cops called on her for reckless driving.
Cranky old man who road rages at you if you yield to oncoming traffic while waiting to turn left at green lights. He honks, flips you off, speeds in front of you, and then brake checks to try to get you to hit him.
On 3/17/18 around 11:50 PM, I was waiting to cross a moderately busy street and head south in a neighborhood north of Hawthorne in Portland, OR. This driver was behind me in a dark grayish small hatchback (Scion?) and suddenly whipped around on my right side and crossed the street in the same direction I'd planned to. I got seriously annoyed and followed him to Hawthorne with my brights on, then he drove westbound on Hawthorne and our vehicles nearly touched at one point. He did a U-turn to head back east away from me and I let it rest. It's just a stupid move to pull right in front of someone who's about to cross a street. He didn't seem to be in a terrible hurry until I caught up to him. I was expecting him to be some young punk but he looked like a 50-60ish novelist or professor in the brief glimpse I caught.
Lil guy was in a hurry to get somewhere. Orange and black former taxicab. I was going west on belmont just east of the expressway at kedzie. I was 3-4 mph over the limit and he was almost touching my bumper. I slowed down. He didnt like that. He got in the right lane, threatened me, went past, swerved at me, cut me off and stopped, got out of the car, punched my drivers side window, he finally left. He told me he was in a big hurry. No ones going to force me into a traffic accident. Was gonna go to the cops, I took a pic of his license plate. Decided its too much of my time. Good luck, little guy. Hope you got where you were going on time
