A pist off Caddy driver?
Going from work to home, got on a 2 lane road with 60 mph speed limit from a stop light. I was couple of cars behind at the light. Light turned green and for whatever reason I decided not to be behind those cars. I was in the right lane, hit the pedal to the metal...went left and then right...all done...wow that was fun! I didn't exactly cut anybody off, or was too close to any of the cars. All the sudden this faily new Caddy (not CTS, but the grandpa kind) that I just passed decided to get on my ass. This guy in his Caddy rode my ass for a good 10-15 seconds while he got on his cell phone and either called somebody, or wrote my tag number in his phone. He then backed off a bit and stayed behind me. Then he got in the left lane and came right next to me for another 20-30 seconds, then backed off. I ignored him the whole time and kept going at normal speed. Eventually I took an exit and he didn't. I've never seen cops driving unmarked Caddy's, so I guess he might be just a pist off driver, or a cop who happened to be driving a Caddy? Maybe a grandpa cop? I really didn't cut him off and I didn't go way beyond the speed limit either....just got there really fast! I guess my question is, if he was just a civilian and did call the cops, can they do anything? Would it be different if he was a cop?

I don't know about the rules in your state, but I know in VA and in NC they dont even pay attention to phoned in numbers/plates/descriptions etc

I dont own a Caddy, but I feel compelled to respond.
I wouldn't worry about it, probly the same guy that yells at neighborhood kids for walking on his grass. Just an angry old guy who remembers "the good ole' days" and hates you "young punks" and your "nazi cars"

Nothing will happen.
When I still had my truck I was driving through my parents neighborhood coming home from work. I was running late for my softball game and had to eat dinner. This lady refused to go any fast than 10-15mph (speed limit is 25). I shot around her when we got to the main street (speed limit jumps to 35). Little did I know all of the sudden when I get out of my car she's yelling at me (meaning she was hauling serious ass to catch up to me) saying i need to slow down and she's got my plate # and she's calling the cops. I yell at her about not driving the speed limit and she can go ahead and call the cops because I know them all and they won't do shit. I almost grabbed my crotch at her just to piss her off, but she had a little kid in the car so I didnt. But i would have loved to see her expression after that. |
