Time of day 4-ish PM, traffic light, sunny, Hwy 33 south, 47 year old guy driving a yellow SS

Driving down a two lane road going home from work, wearing seatbelt, cruise set at 60 mph, I saw you at the gas station and we made eye contact. About a mile down the road I saw you passing cars coming up behind me, you were hauling butt because I was doing 60 and you closed the distance very fast. No lights or flashers. By that time I dialed the cruise down to 58. When you did get behind me what was the reason to get so close in your Charger that I could not see the front of your car and only about 1/2 the hood in my rear view? Then you backed off to about a car length (I guess you realized you couldn't read my plate since you were so close) and I saw you on the radio. Did the report come back that my record is totaly clean? last ticket for speeding about 10 years ago. Then you felt the need to get back on my bumper? Did you think something was up because I didn't slow down to 55? Did I weave? Either way you stayed less than a car length behind me for over a mile and 1/2. Did you get nervous when I tapped my brakes? Must have since you dropped way back, about 4 or 5 car lenghts....didn't mean to scare you, I was tapping off the cruise, since I was turning at the next street, did you like the turn signal? Must have since you followed me down that street. At least you backed off since you found out that the next left I took was the street I live on. To bad you didn't follow me down that street, I stopped about a 1/4 mile down to check the mail box. Since you were so interested in me you could have picked up my mail. Sorry I ruined your afternoon and I didn't run, wasn't a drug dealer, wasn't wanted......maybe next time you will get your big bust

car's a "target" man!..can't let it bother ya!..be cool!..they lose interest,and find somethin' else to do!
