Sad story related to this thread.

I drive on a 4 lane divided highway for about 8 miles to work everyday. Last year a guy in a F150 is in the left lane and was pacing the car beside him at the speed limit. I'm in my 996TT and hang back a reasonable distance as the car has a tendency to piss people off. Now with a lot of cars backing up behind me, around the 5 mile mark he pulls over. I pass slowly to get a look at what kind of dick does this. He flashes a badge at me and gives me a hand gesture to slow down. I'm like WTF! I pull behind him and snap a pic of his license plate, pull beside him and give the you will be getting a phone call gesture with my hand.
I call the cops when I get to work and they are very very interested in what went down.
They track him down and he denies nothing other than the badge. Cop call me back after and say thanks for the call as guys like this can get out of hand.

6 month later it happens again. I'm in my truck and behind him. He stays there until I get off the highway. People are freaking and passing on exit and merging lanes. Total caos.

I get to work and make the call to the cops again.

Cop calls me back later that day with a story from hell. (They checked his story out) The guy had a bit of a break down when the cop confronted him and told his story. Turned out his wife and 2 kids had died on the highway the year previous. This wack job was trying to save lives.
The cop gave him a bit of the riot act and the guy coughs up the badge. Promised to never do it again.

Some things are not as they appear and I have to admit I was a little chocked up hearing his reason.

Wow, crazy. Gotta feel sorry for the guy, but you can't deputize yourself.

Many years ago I ran into a particular nutter in a pickup truck that had a problem with me in my miata. I ran into him twice. It was a bit scary as he was in a big truck and willing to swerve towards me and into my lane, and would do some really crazy stuff. Fortunately, I only saw him those two times and nothing ended up actually happening other than him acting like a nutter.
