Re: Road Rager Didn't Like Me Driving the Speed Limit

So I am driving along in a single lane construction zone at the speed limit as a road rager comes roaring up behind right on my tail flashing lights honking horn. Being a curtious old guy I speed up maybe 5 mph but hopefully not enough to attach the attention of any LEO's hanging out. This road rager is going bananas behind me. We come to the end of the construction zone so there are now two lanes. The RR zooms past me as he is giving the one finger salute. I just wave back with all 5 fingers visible. He pulls into my lane and hits the brakes hard, luckily I stop in time. Iam on my cell dialing 911 with his license plate number. He sees me on the phone and pulls over to the side as I go past still on the phone he jumps out of his car with what looks like a baseball bat and makes motions like he wants me to stop. I think I laughed into the phone when I told the 911 operator what was going on. Like there was no way I was stopping even though he would have brought that bat to a gunfight. Yeah I was armed! I told the 911 lady I have a CHL and it would be very good idea if they got an officer out there right away because this guy keeps coming and if he forced me to stop I may not have a lot of options. The RR had gotten back in his car and was trying to catch me. I was doing 75 by then so it took him a few minutes. About the time he caught up with me on my tail there were 3 police cars coming from both directions with lights on. I immediately pulled over while RR kept going until the cops caught up and lite him up. One officer stopped and took a report from me and asked me drive down to where the RR was and identify him. I did. He was trying to say I was the RR but the 911 call said otherwise. He was arrested. Last I heard he pleaded guilty and I didn't have to appear. Don't know what he got. This was last Jan on my Way home to Dallas from Dennison on 75.
