How to lose a crazy car chasing man

Imagine you're driving down the road it's night already so all the highway lamps are on overhead. Everyone is still trying to get home from a long day at work. People driving home at 7pm at night are usually the work aholic type and already tend to be the type "A" personalities which can make for some interesting nightly drives home. Well imagine you're in the far right lane and start to make your way to the middle lanes because the 2 right lanes veer off and turn onto another major freeway.
So you're going maybe 40mph and then right ahead of you in the middle lane that isn't turning off people are "stopped" right there where the other 2 lanes head off to the other freeway, slowly, trying to usurped their way in front of all the other poor drivers who sat in the long line of traffic. So they "sit" there in the lane, refusing to give up as if they have some God given "right" to push in front of all the other people who patiently waited. You are unfortunately behind one of "those" such people so you turn on your blinker and patiently wait to go into the lane to the left of you.
Whizzing by people go past you well above the speed limit. Patiently you wait, and wait until finally there's an opening. Now you're blinker has been on for well over 30s+ you pull in to the lane and you hear "HONK HOOOOONK". You turn you look to your left and some guy who was very far back in the lane you turned into sped up when you turned in. You think to yourself "WTF is this guy trying to ram me?" So you slow down as most people's reaction would be in such a situation with so much traffic whizzing all around you. The crazy man pulls along side of you to your left and veers into your lane as if trying to push you into the cement median. At this point you're pretty freaked out thinking "Ok, this guy needs some serious help". So you move into another lane to get away from the freak. What does the freak do? He pulls up along side of you and then speeds up, cuts in front of you and slams on the breaks causing you to move over into another lane. By this time you're getting pretty ticked off so you figure WTH ... fine 2 can play this game. You slow down, switch lanes get in behind him and beam your high beams.
You're in a nice tall Explorer and the freak is in a small white sedan, needless to say you're high beams are going to be QUITE the annoyance. So you figure maybe the freak has learned his lesson. No! So the freak decides to be a jerk again and do what he did again erratically driving trying to get you in an accident. So, you pull up speed up, move in front of him and slam on your breaks. He tries to helplessly high beam you. "Ha Ha" you laugh, your nice high vehicle saves you from his pathetically low lying high beams. So for several miles he stays behind you, in vain, thinking he's obstructing your view of the road. Meanwhile you get in your turn lane to get on the major freeway and long drive to your house. He turns with you. Getting a bit annoyed and maybe a bit worried you slowdown, change lanes and get a good look at the "Crazy guy" that's chasing you. He's a man in his mid 20's, business casual attire driving a small white sedan fairly new. He doesn't look outwardly angry maybe just a bit crazy but not angry. Thinking to yourself this is odd that someone would be following you just because he didn't see your blinker was on and act that way he must not be mentally stable.
Now that he's followed you onto the major freeway obviously not where he's intended to go originally you think hmm, ok time to lose this bastard. So, you drive really fast and try to lose him in the plethora of vehicles on the freeway. Nope, he patiently "if he's been patient at all" wades through the sea of cars and gets right behind you again and attempts once again in vain to high beam. You laugh a bit and think ok this is just funny. You break fairly hard, he struggles to break and continues to pursue you. By this time he's been following you about 20 mins and you think hmm, well the tollway is coming up "OHH IDEA" you look in your rear view mirror you see he doesn't have a tollway pass. You know the things that allow them to speed through the toll lanes because it gets your information from the small square you put on your winshield. Well you're in luck you have one he doesn't. Quickly, you switch into the turn off lane that goes to the Tollway going the opposite way of your house. He, seeing where you're going gets a bit panicky, he slows down and stays in the lane that goes straight on the freeway. You continue onto the tollway and "LAUGH".
You drive until the first free exit, exit off the tollway, do a U-turn and you're stuck in a bit of traffic but this is ok because that makes him all the farther away. About 10 mins later you get back on the main freeway towards your home and you eventually arrive, no crazy jerk in tow.

So the moral of the story is boys and girls. A) Don't be a self serving bastard who thinks women can't logically deduct anything for themselves. B) Don't assume you can chase us home either that's what We've got mace and a shoe for. We're not afraid to use them either.

Still you laugh, as you're driving down the street thinking "A$$h..." testosterone is the debil. If you men out there ever catch yourself playing the "crazy" role in the situation above please consider castration.

You left out that you should arm yourself with an electronic toll pass. (Smart Tag, Easy Pass, Etc...)

Also, you live in Texas. Time to buy a gun Zelli.

Well I thought I had that in there.. but yah that's the idea I had eztag and he didn't lol so he didn't want to get stuck in the "exact change or full service" line because I can just speed through. Not to mention he'd have to spend money lol.

All in all the guy was just being a moron. And truly if any of you feel the need to "chase someone" go and exit the freeway, go to a coffee shop and have a nice latte. In other words take a chill pill. Chasing people can cause accidents, people could get hurt, you could get a ticket and possibly go to jail. Too bad I didn't get to find a police guy sitting on the side I'd of SOOOOOOOOOOO stopped behind him lol! Bet that guy would have turned 2 shades of white.
