"Maybe the guy wanted your bike. A motorcyclejacking. Use of deadly force is justified."
Where precisely does one fit a motorcycle into a BMW/Lexus? Are the trunks that big now?
Sounds like you did the right thing, Asleep. You definitely have more control than I do. I really think that if it were me I would have shot him. (I was taught "Don't draw unless you intend to shoot, don't shoot unless you intend to kill.")
Highways can be scary places at night.
Once, when driving back to TX from FLA we happened to be going through LA when a beat up pickup truck behind me started to play a game of "chicken" of sorts. Being the only two vehicles in sight at 2am on a Sunday morning (read: Saturday night - ie:drunk) in the Atchafalaya Swamp area, calling the cops wouldn't have helped. I'm thinking that this guy (or guys) wanted a little fun.
Tough. I don't play games.
They kept speeding up when I sped up, slowing down when I slowed down, and finally got in front of me and started slowing down until they came to a dead stop. So I stopped. I'm betting they expected me to get out of the car so they could have a good old time beating the crap out of me, but I didn't. I didn't own a gun then, so the only weapon I had was my car, and I was going to use it. The first guy out of that truck was going to eat bumper. But it never happened. It must have confused them when I did nothing (I didn't honk the horn, flash the lights, or anything) and just sat there with my car running in place. We stayed there like that for a minute or so, then they got bored and took off. I let them go (I took down the license plate numbers just in case).
It was then I realized that I would never travel unarmed on the highways again.
Now if I travel long distances in my car, I take my sidearm and a PLR-16 with me.
