Advantages: None

Disadvantages: Damn scary

I had never really appreciated just how scary this can be until I was a victim of it a couple of weeks ago while driving home one night from going out to dinner with friends.

I was in the car on my own and as I ulled out at a T junction a car followed me out onto the main road and then proceeded to drive as close as possible to my car flashing their lights, I slowed down as I had no idea what the problem was however the car pulled up level and the driver looked extremely angry and was shouting abuse at me as he drove on the wrong side of the road level with me, as I slowed down some more to let him pass so did he slow down.

By now I was pretty scared so I acceleterated away as I was convinced that if I had stopped my car I would have been attacked, it was quite a nerve wracking experience as the car continued to follow me for a few hundred yards before turning off. I was literally shaking when I got home and in tears, my partner was so mad he just wanted to drive round looking for them which was definately not a good idea and I could not really describe the car other than it was a dark coloured estate of some sort.

What makes people act like this is beyond me, even if somehow I had cut them up or made them brake I could still not imagine myself acting like this.

It has certainly made me a lot more cautious in future and not something I would wish on anyone.

Summary: Road rage.
