There were two cars in front of me a big truck and a small van that was in front that was doing 40mph in a 60mph zone. With nobody coming in the other direction for at least a couple of miles, I decide to pass both of them. There was a proper dashed passing line on the road and it was all clear.
I only passed the van in front going about 80mph but I was at full throttle, which is a probably above 113db. So a few miles later I come up to the intersection with heavy traffic and red light. I have to make a left turn so I get in the left turn lane. The guy in the small van I passed catches up to me and gets right behind me. He then starts making frantic arm gestures and is holding up his phone and I could immediately tell he's calling 911. The light turns green and I can't accelerate because now there is a lot of traffic all around me. So I continue on to my destination and then I notice the dude in the van starts weaving through traffic to follow me. He starts making every turn that I make. So I was like ok, let's play. Instead of using my 700hp to make a quick getaway, I decide to have some fun with him instead and I ditch my route to my destination and start to drive around aimlessly. I drove through a Pizza Hut parking lot, a self serve car wash, a mall parking garage, and then I head out of town to the country. Lol! At this point he is still following me and more pissed than ever, so thanks to my excellent BMW iDrive Navigation, I come up with a route where I drive around some country roads in circles. I eventually lose him due to traffic, but he sure made an effort. I think I may have scared him with my car being so loud. I've never seen anything like that before. Anyways I got out of the area and didn't see a single cop or him again. What a lunatic. Have you guys ever seen that before? Lol!
Otherwise I've been getting crazy compliments, thumbs up, and random people taking cell phone pictures on my M5. I really is incredible in the sunlight. I think the general public loves it!  |
There is nothing wrong with passing somebody on the opposite lane as long as it's done safely, which you did, but it's something american drivers don't seem to see often or experience, but i wouldn't drive out of my way aimlessly to waste me time with somebody following me. I'd drive somewhere where the problem would be handles properly, legally and/or illegally.
