Reading this thread also made me think everyone should take counter measures...


First donate cash to the local HWP, sheriff and put a sticker of your association with them on your car where it's VISIBLE. This also potentially helps if you get pulled over for stretching the legs of your car.


A tactic I've used with crazies is to hold my cell phone out the window for the idiot to see. I then dial 911 and give them the plate #, make and color of the car along with the location and direction. When they ask me what the emergency is and I tell them it's either a drunk driver or some one running from police is on the road and they're going to kill some one in a hurry. I just tell them the truth, someone threw something, swerving, jesters like they’re going to car jack me, etc. They ask me for my name and cell phone and I give it because they already know it (caller id as that’s how they validate it’s not a prank). Anytime I’ve done this within 2 minutes they’re on the scene. I’ve never had them call me back or require anything from me after I hang up. Two times the cops have pulled the idiot over while he was giving me sh*t. I suspect the HWP knows who I am which is why I usually drive near the speed limit on the main highways with my K40 turned all the way on.


I’ve also thought about keeping a flashing blue light handy (I think red might be illegal). When trouble starts to happen I think I’d pull it out and put it on top of the roof. Whether people have a clue or not they’re going to hesitate screwing with you long enough for you to get away.
