Long story grab some
For a brief background I drive a 07 Civic LX and I bought it specifically for commute. I live in OC and I commute to LA everyday on the 405, and my car is plateless right now.
Today I was doing 70-74mph on the 405 near Irvine in the middle lane, 2 over from the HOV lane, with no car in front of me as far as I can see, and a middle aged man in his Chevy Cavalier passed me on the fast lane. I paid no attention since I drive like a granny these days and are used to being passed. Then for no apparent reason he cut over to my lane and cut me off with only 3-4 ft space from my front bumper. I hate getting rock chips on my hood and the civic's brakes feel significantly weaker than my Volvo so I switched over to the fast lane and maintained my speed. I passed him 2-3 minutes later because of traffic in his lane, and as soon as I passed the traffic in his lane I switched back over to the middle lane to slow down. This jackass switched into the fast lane behind me and as soon as I switched back to the slower lane he passed me and cut me off again. No reason whatsoever, plenty of space in front of me so there was no reason for him to squeeze in. I got in the fast lane again and sped up and he got on the gas as well. WTF I looked over but he wouldn't acknowledge me but eventually he left off around 85 as I passed him. I blew pass him pretty fast. I know, I know. I wasn't racing at all but he was definately screwing with me for no reason. After that he just stayed behind me for rest of the way and didn't attempt to cut me off again.
What the heck guys. I dont street race and I got this car to save gas on my commute. I am driving a non-sporty Civic model and this idiotic 40 year old man try to mess with me no reason. I can't imagine the amount of crap I am going to receive when I buy my weekend hotrod this winter. Anyone cares to explain what is going on in his head.
