Discussion Red Late 2000s Honda driving aggressively and flashing lights/chasing me around unprompted?
I was on Stonehouse road headed towards 11 tonight and I saw headlights flashing behind me from about 1/4 mile+ away. I actually thought to myself that somebody was having an electrical issue as I could see in my rearview the blinkers occasionally going on with the headlights, while the cars running lights stayed on. Turns out this was probably some kind of frantic erratic headlight flashing behavior on the drivers part, bear with me.
Well, after them eventually nearing me, ending up behind another car and not flashing them this way, then ending up behind me again after that car pulled away and flashing aggressively... I had a bad feeling. I put my blinker on, slowed to go into the Sports Emporium, then turned it off and suddenly continued at speed... they followed suit.
At the light intersecting with 11, we caught a red and they were propped up on their steering wheel in what I now could clearly tell was a small red late 2000's model Honda possibly 2 door coupe, posturing themselves like they really wanted me to know they were glaring into my car from behind. I still had not initiated any interaction at this point, and did not at any time during this event.
After pulling onto 11, I very suddenly made the hard right off onto a small connector street, they followed suit but did not keep up with me. I end up cutting trough multiple businesses parking lots at speed and making several rapid U turns while cutting trough traffic until I was sure I finally had lost them somewhere in the tractor trailers and red lights.
Has anybody else encountered this particular individual?
What in the hell? I can't imagine what I did to prompt this; all my lights are working, it wasn't even all the way dark anyways... hell I hadn't even seen the car during my drive until it was behind me flashing its lights. I hadn't even seen any others cars yet; this was the first driver I encountered in my very short and otherwise uneventful outing. I don't know what to think about it. They were absolutely perusing me and only my good driving and purposely evasion stopped the interaction.
Edit: Have cam footage, need to find my SD adapter or maybe I can find another way.
