Phil GilchristOk, well, dash cam caught it, but don't think resolution is enough to get a plate number. May call Colorado State Patrol tomorrow.
So, here is what happened. I was on I-25, between Exit 144 and 141 (141 is Highway 24, where we exit to go home). I was in the fast lane, doing 65-70 mph, listening to Xmas music. Traffic was heavy, and I had a line of cars on the right in the middle lane. This guy comes flying up behind me, and runs right up on my bumper and sits there. I sped up to get past the cars in the right lane, and then moved to the middle lane. As the guy went by, I flipped him off.
He passed me, pulled into my lane and slammed on his breaks. I slow down, and he slowed down. I tried to move back into fast lane to go around him, he swerved and cut me off, pushing me back into middle lane. He motioned out of his window for me to pull over. I backed off and flash my brights.
He stayed in front of me, slamming on his breaks a couple more times, but waits until I have cars on either side, so I can't go anywhere, trying to cause an accident.
I backed off more. I waited till he slowed down again, and gunned it, changed lanes to fast lane and tried to move around him. He swerved into fast lane and braked very hard. I came within a couple feet of hitting him.
At that point I realize he was nuts, and since now there was no one behind me, I slowed way down and moved all the way to the right to exit at Hwy 24. He had cars on his right and couldn't follow me. I exited the freeway.
