Default Almost got wrecked

Freeway going home. Very, very light traffic across 5 lanes. I'm in the far left going around 80mph. A POS 80's Toyota pickup is in the lane #2 (one over from the far right).

Here's my confusion. This guy was either ******* drunk as hell, spilled boiling coffee all over his junk, or mistook me for his nemesis.

Shortly after passing the truck he speeds up and SWERVES across the two lanes in between us and halfway into mine. This effectively forced me to slam the brakes while halfway off the road. Luckily there was space between my door and the guardrail otherwise I woulda wrecked as the thread title mentions.

I swerved around and gunned it, wanting to get as far away from this **** as possible.

Once my rush of almost wrecking was over I tried to call 911 to report him. Wow it's my luck that the line is busy. How can you get put on hold for 911? By the time I gave up on them he got off the first exit behind me.

Anyway if you run into this guy or if he runs INTO you, please beat him up.

The guy was probably putting on eye liner and stab his eye.

Today I was driving down my neighborhood street (30mph) behind some slow *** **** and I was late for work and they turned their blinker on and literally came to like a complete stop to turn so I kind of pulled around them, I mean my left tire barely cross into the oncoming lane, and this old dude like late 40's early 50's was like a mile down the road and when he passed me I guess what I did PISSED him off and he layed on the horn and gave me this nasty stare down.

People have problems!
