Hey all,
A good friend of mine was driving in Green Bay a week or so ago and ended up in an interesting situation. It was after dark in a less safe part of town (two shootings recently). My friend is a delivery driver, so in advance, "avoid that spot" responses need not apply.
As he attempted to merge into the left lane, he noticed another motorist in his blind spot. Not wanting to cut the guy off, he gunned it and moved in front of the other motorist (probably cutting him off anyway). The man proceeded to follow him closely, flashing his lights, honking, etc. He went completely around a roundabout twice to no avail, the guy was on him. After a few turns he went into a driveway and lost track of his new friend.
Now it gets interesting. My friend pulled out of the driveway and drove about a block when the guy found him and ran him off the road. The other driver then got out of his car and began a slow approach toward my friend, throwing things, shouting profanity, and threatening him.
He never called the police, and driving to the police station never occurred to him. As the situation stood, all other options missed or exhausted, what would you recommend as the next course of action? CCW options welcomed, but others needed as well.
God Bless,
Aaron
