I situation i was in over the summer got me thinking.
I get on the highway and upset someone because he wanted over in my lane but i was there. So i look in my rearview mirror to see him start to pass me in the shoulder. Then cut directly in front of me and slam on the brakes to 10 miles an hour from around 70. So a little baffled i try to pass him in the fast lane. he swerves at me again and won't let me pass. so i just back off and drive a little under the speed limit. hoping they will just drive on. well they slam the brakes in front of me again. so i drive a mustang so i drop into 3rd and blast pass the guy. So i put 2 cars between him and i (couldn't fit between the two). so i start to exit the highway and here he comes in the shoulder passes me and cuts his car sideways to block the exit?
I felt that my life was in danger with the actions in his automobile and tried to retreat in a couple different ways but was unable.
Would I be justified in pulling a weapon??
The story is true, though i never pulled a weapon. and another case of road rage this evening got me wondering.
