i had an interesting experience yesterday while driving to work...it was 6:30 AM and i was driving my Porsche Boxster for the first time this year since it was going to be 72* and sunny later in the day....i was on an open stretch of a 4 lane highway about 2 miles from home going between 55-60 mph in the right hand lane.....it was still dark at this time....
all of a sudden out of nowhere something slammed into the back of the Porsche jolting me and the car forward violently....i looked in the rear view mirror and suddenly saw a pair of headlights come on that were taller than the car....there were no signs of any headlights prior to the impact.....so i immediately tried to slow down to pull off the road to see what had happened but the vehicle that hit me stayed in contact with the car and was pushing me....then it backed off slightly and rammed me a couple more times.....i was initially confused and dazed as my head jerked and hit the head rest of the seat pretty hard and i was not sure exactly what was going on....i was finally able to swerve to get off the road.....then i saw a black Ford F250 go flying by and speeding away from the scene.....i was not able to get a tag number but i did get a decent look at the truck in my headlights....
so i sat on the side of the road for a few mins to get my thoughts together....since i was so close to my home i drove the car back there and told my wife what had happened....
i spent the rest of the day filing police reports and insurance claims and getting my car towed to a reputable repair shop that handles high end cars....
the Sheriff is treating this as an 'assault' since it seems clear it was intentional....this was not a case of road rage....this happened on an open section of the 4 lane highway where the left hand lane was open if someone wanted to pass me.....
what in the hell is wrong with people these days?....
