Actually, I had turned off 85. It was driving around the island to make the dog leg to go into Lowe's. Suddenly the car cut me off.
Considering your screen name, I'm kinda disappointed at your responseSimilar situation happened to me a few years ago. But it would have been 1 on 1 and the guy was a huge raging a**h*** in a Ford f250. We had a near miss at the entrance to a market basket. I stopped in front of the store to let an old couple leave the store with their cart into the parking lot. The guy in the Ford stopped behind me. The couple waved me on and a started to go but didn't realize the guy in the Ford started to pass me on the left......because he was impatient......anyway we almost sideswiled as he passed. He jammed on his brakes got out ans started screaming at me......standing right in front of my truck. I sat there and waited to see what he'd do......he was yelling at me to get out of my truck and "handle it like a man"
He eventually got back in his truck and drove off. I went and parked
......in a normal spot with a car in front and on each side of me. Big mistake on my part.....he cir led around and stopped perpendicular behind me blocking me in......got out and ran up to my window and started the same bullshit routine. I pulled my shirt up to make sure I could get to my pistol easily......he started pounding on my window but rather than go for my roscoe I got my cell phone put and started video......he ran back to his truck and peeled away. At that point I waited till I saw him leave the parking lot completely then left in the opposite direction.
What an a**h***!
What I learned was in a case like that in the future either leave the area completely or park so I can't be blocked in.
My immediate backup plan if he busted my window in was to go for my gun. That's why I made sure my shirt was clear of it the second I saw him block me in. The cell phone videoing seemed to smarten him up fast.Considering your screen name, I'm kinda disappointed at your response
Well... putting the worst drivers in the country on ice for 2 years wasn't going to help
Not weird at all. They know this is the Land o' Lawyers & Settlements. I scuffed the paint off of a bumper of a German or Russian immigrant. She gets out, leans over at the waist and turns her head down to look at her back bumper. Can I pay for the damage? (didn't want an insurance claim). "No, vee must call police." Cop shows up. "Any injuries?". "No." A week later, my insurance guy wants a photo of my front bumper. I asked why, since there was no damage. "They're both claiming neck and back injuries."
Yeah I cant see the insurance industry being around much longer. Basically anyone who's grandparents werent born here sees it as an ATM.Not weird at all.

Roof mount for the win
I was in a jury involving one of these. Guy with a Yello TT truck with over 30yrs of experience w/no accidents vs a car full of russian shitheads and ambulance chaser attorney. It took us 4 days but the jury politely told them to get f***ed. They were basically driving in a place where no reasonable person would consider a driving lane and managed to wedge their car under the back end of the tractor trailer truck no serious injuries either....Not weird at all.

Not sure if this is funny or not.. either way build a mental wall and just put it behind you…that’s what I do.
My insurance assessor told me the same thing they’re called “jump ins”. I’m sure it happens everywhere, but typically Holyoke and Springfield. I was involved in an accident, which was probably not so much of an accident with one person in the other vehicle and then I had six people suing me even though the car only held five people… I bitched and screamed and they still gave everyone of them $5000 to go away.
