I just had an encounter on the roads that has left me feeling really shaky, I know this is probably quite common but its amazing what people can get away with.

At some lights the car in front of me was at a stand still even though the lights had turned green; I along with several cars behind beeped him, instead of moving he gestured rudely with his hands at me in the rear view mirror. He finally moved, all the time gesturing at me. Once through he stopped his car, got out and marched up to my window saying I couldn’t f***ing drive and was being generally abusive towards me, there was traffic both sides so I couldn’t move, he then got back in his car drove a bit further then got out and did the same thing again, even though I had been keeping my distance. I locked my doors as I was feeing really scared. He then went back to his car and drove a bit further before getting out once again, holding everyone up and made a big deal about taking down my number plate. He then proceeded to drive at a snail pace before we hit standstill again, I decided to change into the other lane to get away from him so I indicated and as I pulled out he swerved his car in front of me causing me to slam on...obviously wanting me to hit him. He then let me go and followed me on my bumper all the time beeping.

I feel really shaken by this...I have experienced road rage before but never to this extent. I know I have probably just been really lucky that I hadn’t before now as I think it is quite common so I may be overreacting. Has anyone else had anything like this happen?
