That was totally bizarre. Here I am driving down the road, approaching an intersection. The vehicle behind me suddenly pulls into the left turn lane and starts overtaking me. With further suddenness, he pulls back into my lane. I have a very good view of the side of his pickemup truck at this moment. There was a crunching noise.

I stopped and got out to survey the carnage. Pickemup truck did not stop. Well, he went a quarter mile down the road and stopped. Behind me was another car. The driver announced that she witnessed the whole thing and offered to stick around. I accepted with alacrity. While I was on the phone with the police, the local police happened on scene.

I got the license number plate of the truck; one cop went down to where he had stopped and invited him to join the party. Mr. Bowie Police Man mediated the exchange of information; I didn't have to speak to the moron. Insurance has been initiated; the car is in their hands already.

Damage is minor, I think, but it may add up. Pictures below the

Well, being in the left lane with no shoulder at the time, he did pull over at stop at the next light, still in sight, and remained there until one of the officers invited him to return closer to the scene. He didn't flee the scene and make himself scarce.

As to the citation, I have no clear information one way or the other. Yet.
