Default I freakin hate cabbies!

So Im on I5 North. Cabbie is behind me from 188th on-ramp. This guy is tailing me like no other. So Im leavin lots of room. Right at the freakin MLK exit I have to slow down quick, now its already jammed up. But I hear the barking of tires and I know instantly who it is. Now he has the push bar removed from the front, cop car push bar, and only the brackets are sticking out. Im thinkin these things will rip open the butt end like a knife thru paprer. Well, I feel the car move and hear the crunching of plastic, and I look over to my left and see him right next to me. Literally inches from the drivers door. Pull the car off as much as I can right there. Get out and check out the damage. Got lucky, he swerved. Looks to be only bumper.

Usually ppl that don't care about their cars tend to do that more often that's why when possible I try to get in front of a nice car (same thing when I park)

It's a very frustrating situation just because you don't care if yr front bumper gets scratched it doesn't mean the person in front of you wants all the hassle of fixing his rear bumper

One time on the high-way this woman in a minivan kept so close to my car for 20 mins straight I rolled down my window stuck half my body out shooed her with my hand and gave her a thumbs up. She got it.

Wow your nice. I guess I'm the aggressive in your face type. If someone is tailing 2 lane road, I usually line myself up with someone in the other lane and match their speed or if I'm agitated and they are really pushing my buttons I brake check them.

2+ second distance in moving traffic, if you can't handle that then face my wrath.

Yeah, I got info. You saw traffic. He wasnt going nowhere. He ended up between me and the barrier. He couldnt go anywhere if he tried.

Gettin his info, he says this " I was just looking around at traffic, seeing how bad it was. Then you were right in front of me." All surprised. I was thinking, thats cause you were close enough to see the serial # on my tags you idiot!

I'm just happy that he's going to own up to it and cover the damage and that it didn't mess with the trunk!
