It was about 2:30 in the night and i had a red light coming up. As it is at night, i just put the foot down when it finally turned green (65mph Limit). I just went past an Outlander doddling along on the other lane and he somehow just turned on his high beam and kept following me, this is obnoxious and i was quite pissed off (Before you doubt me, this is real and i didnt annoy him in any way). What followed was a two mile duel and my attempt to convey how irritating that is to other motorists. It ended with the idiot dramatically swerving into my lane before a turn and braking quite hard to pull into a petrol station (this is a crossover remember). I hoped that would be the end of it but the guy resumed his journey after a few seconds on the layby and indicated to take the same left turn i do to get to my house (i know he isnt a neighbour). He thankfully didnt and that was the end of it.

Not as spectacular as having your window broken and having the police involved but this was so much more than i thought would happen yesterday.

If this is true about camera, then OP should call police and followup on this and find out if that particular section had a camera in range or a camera in another section captured the said car leading up to the event.

GL getting those folks off the treet.

Keep going past 360 and 620 until 2222 turns into Lime Creek Rd.

I used to live off 620 right over there. There's been cops in that area when I was living there. I'll be over there for a party barge trip in 2 weeks. I'll check it out again.
