"Then the A-Hole gets along side of me and attempts to swerve into my lane on purpose to smash into my car. The nut bag did this on purpose...! Luckily I hit the breaks before he could hit me, but he came within inches of crushing my car."

SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME YESTERDAY! I was coming back from class in the Ford (thank god), on a busy multilane road. Well, I was coming up on an intersection where the light was a stale red, about to turn green (I could see that the other direction's was yellow). Beyond the intersection was a lane-merging area.

Before I even got within 100 feet of the intersection, the light turned green... so I didn't bother to slow down. I passed a Chevy S10 on the left - he was stopped at the light, so was accellerating from a stop. Next thing I know, I hear his engine struggling, and he passes me out on the right, nudging his way into my lane. He came within inches of bumping his front fender into my rear passenger seat. Of course, I backed off... i didn't want to be side-by-side with this maniac when the lanes merged...

And why? Just because he wanted to be first when the lanes merged? He felt threatened by the fact that I passed him out? To a normal person, it wouldn't have even looked like I was challenging him to a race... and besides, who would want to race in a Ford Taurus? Some people piss me off.
