    I think you should've called the police. She was obviously recklessly driving. Which is illegal. Someone could've gotten hurt.

    And free ATVs? Wtf? Who does that? And I like how they said they'd drive 100 miles to get it. As if that doesn't cost money. Sounds like they're just asking for a vacation for free. If I were to ask for help with anything it would only be necessities. People are weird.

    There are crazy people like that out here all the damn time and YES you have every right to call the police. That should be considered borderline assault if they were potentially putting your life in danger. That is crazy dude.

    v. I'm really kicking myself for not gettig her plate number, because if she does call the cops, it will be all their (at least 3 people) word against mine, and no one is going to believe the 17 year old girl over the 3 adults.

    Vv. I play around with my friends like that too, with fake road rage.

    vvv. I regret not getting her plate number, she really could have caused a lot of accidents or could have easily harmed me.
    And yeah, seriously right? Who really asks for somehthing like that for free? It pains me when some of the people take advantage of the over generous nature of Utahans. I wouldn't be surprised if they acturally got an ATV or two, and possibly a free trailer, just becuause most people out here will be like "I got my tax returns, what does the community need?" >.>

    You SHOULD have called the police. If she has your plate numbers and calls the cops about your traffic mistake, it's going to be her word against yours about the whole following you around and driving recklessly. They're going to wonder why you didn't call if your story is true, you know? Hopefully though they thought you really were on the phone with the police and drop it so you don't have to deal with that. Sounds scary enough as it is. :/

    I used to do crap like that with my friend Tyler all the time because he had a big bad truck and I drove a minivan and it was just funny fucking with him, but it's different with friends. I definitely would have called the cops in that situation...if I were you. If I were me, things would've gotten hostile.

    I would have called the police. I had crap like that happen to me one time--some idiot deliberately turned on to the road I was driving on JUST in time for me to have to SLAM on my brakes in order to avoid hitting him, and then slowed down to half of the speed limit. Every time I tried to go around him, he would match my speed so I couldn't. My biggest regret is not getting his license plate number and calling the cops, because he could easily have caused an accident.

    Even if you made a traffic mistake, I mean, Christ, I road rage, but that's just not right, at all. She could get in pretty big legal trouble for that.

    And WOW. Who the hell would ask for something THAT expensive, for FREE? =/ Tell you what, if you can't afford to pay for ATVs, find another, cheaper form of entertainment. =/
