On nov 27 while driving on the 101 i was tailgated by a nissan sentra. I have an chevy xtra cab 3/4 ton 4x4. I tapped my brakes to get him to back off. This only encouraged him to glue himself to my bumper. I was not driving slow, i was doing 70.
My eixt was coming up so i crossed over & was now on off ramp, abt a 10 second delay followed & this nissan decided to cross the 3 lanes & follow me off the freeway. I tapped my brakes several time & i thought at one point he hit me (which he did). As i approach the light from the off ramp to the intersection i stop & again this nissan rearends me.
This guy flies out of his car in a rage for my truck screaming & swearing at me with his hands on my side window. I have locked my doors & have decided for safety reasons to ignore him. I don't have my phone with me.
After his verbal abuse he uses his phone to call friends, family etc. People who came to visit him while we wait. He did not call police. I never got out of my truck. I see someone i know, flag them down & call police.
After 2 hours, a motorcycle cop arrives & we drive over to empty lot. We both want to tell our story to officer, so officer said one at a time, points to the man & said you first. I'm the one who called why didn't i speak first? This guy starts out by saying"this bitch — - " this officer said nothing to this man regarding that remark.
The guy tells the cop i hit my brakes so hard that my tires were smoking (when i told my husband that he said that is impossible because i have anti-lock brakes.) he did admit to rearending me twice on the off ramp because i kept hitting my brakes & no one was in front of me!!!
I will reiterate, i have chevy ecab 4x4, he has nissan sentra. Unless you are superman with xray vision how do you know whats in front of me? So what if i hit my brakes, you don't have to hit me. Anyway the cop said he wasn't going to issue any ticket because no witnesses & he wasn't there. I was shocked. Was this not road rage & at the very least "failure to control your speed to avoid a collision". He tailgated & rearended my twice (undisputed facts)& gets away with it.
This man was so disillusioned that he called my insurance from parking lot to file claim against me!!! I had told officer i was afraid & did not want my address on accident report for fear he would come by.
The officer was aware of my fear. With road rage so high, how could he let this guy walk away without even a citation??? If i (the woman) was in the nissan i bet he would have ticked me. I have tried to call officer campbell's supervisor, lt. Goldsmith, but have always gotten his voice mail.
It is sick to let this guy get away with this without any punishment, we have told him its ok. I hope he doesn't kill his next victim.
How many people have rearended someone & were not given a citation? I have alittle scratch on my bumper & his entire hood is bent up from going under my back bumper
