Default Driving Under the Influence... why do it for?!

GEZZZZZZZZZZZZ.... i was almost run off the road for about 3km of driving, in which there were MANY honks given, and yet they would NOT pull over... finally they did, after almost crossing the middle of the road!

It all began at Bob Jane in Haberfield on Parra road.... i was driving towards the city and this 2000 Subaru Outback almost ran me off the road by doing a sudden swerve into my lane... i slammed on the brakes and swerved to the merging left lane, as well as the car behind me which was maybe too close to me... oblivious to what just happened, i beeped and caught up to them... beeping as i went past... Then, the Subaru hopes into my lane and races up to my ****.... and would have hit me had i not accelerated as well! It then backed off about 20m or so.... so i continued to drive like nothing happened, but keeping my eye on the car.

Then just after Hi Tech mufflers and Ryda, where the lanes go slightly right, he once again came into my lane just infront of me. I beeped for a whole 10 seconds. Again, after Norton Street where the lines go slightly right, he did it again. This time i drove up to the side of him, and beeped and looked at him telling him to pull over! I then accelerated away, to see the Outback hit the barrier and one wheel cross to the other side... they then pulled over. I turned left into a backstreet and headed back to where they had pulled over. I think overtook the car parked on the side of the road to see the 40ish year old asian lady take the wheel of the car (was the passenger) and the white male (about 45) get into the passenger seat, with the lady apparently giving him a lecture.

WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG?! There were about 3 times where i could have been run off the road, and other cars... and about 1 head on collision.

Not good to provoke a ****er like that on the roads mate, like you said you're lucky he didn't collide with you.

Why did what take so long?... you mean for the passenger to take the wheel?? (probably because the driver wanted to drive? dunno)

Hmm, You lost your licence, Got it back to only have your car broken into and now this.

Maybe you should just leave your car at home and walk from now on.

yeah, if theyre dangerous on the roads, then why stick close to them?? ego perhaps? bit of vengence?

pull over, wait till theyre well ahead of you, and then carry on your merry way

its not worth them stopping you, pulling you out of the car, then smashing you and your car

You should have called the cops mate, let them deal with dickheads like these intstead of putting yourself at risk.

DONT ENGAGE IN THAT STUFF MATE . just call the cops and see if they agree to find the car whilst in your view failing that . not much to do .grab thier keys maybe .. which could be a step before your funeral .
sorry for your dilema it sucks.
