You never know why people might be speeding like that.

-they might be fleeing from a crime
-they might be on drugs
-they might be rushing to a real emergency
-they might just be a mentally unstable freak show

This is another reason why people should NOT be in the passing lane unless they are actually PASSING someone.

That, and we need more lanes on hwy#1.

It's no matter. If you couldn't get the full license plate of the truck since it sped away too fast, one thing that could've helped you is to remember the license plate of these guys:

1. There's a chance they recall the license plate of the truck on your behalf.
2. They serve as witnesses for your insurance claim. JIC the damage heavily exceeds $300.

It's much easier too as I'm assuming these 2 drivers were going relatively the same speed as the flow of traffic, should give you ample time to note their license plate #'s.

Wow, this is such a bizzarre incident...

Let me get the story clear. So you were on the left lane, he's approaching rather quick behind you, then before you can change to the right (slow lane), he goes in the right lane and starts looking at you and moving towards your car. You slow down, and he matches speed. So his intent wasn't to change in your lane, but to actually hit your vehicle. You move over so two wheels are in the ditch (wouldn't your car fall in if you were in a ditch?) and he hits your side mirror. (he must of been going rather slow at this time) because you were finally able to make eye contact with the driver, as well as noting he had a little kid with him. Then he sped off and all you got 871 from the plates and the rest, you weren't able to see because by then he was too far off into the distance.

Did I get this correct?

truck drivers are always aggressive, especially the ones with hill-billy lift kits and loud ass exhaust

Care, why are you sighing, I'm not defending the crasy lunatic at all, i'm just saying:

Quote:
I figure he wants in the fast lane so I go to pull to the right and instead he comes over on my right and starts moving into my lane while staring at my car so I know he can see me.
Why were you in the passing lane if the lane to your right was empty? Maybe I'm just not understanding...

too bad we can't carry guns in Canada. this is a perfect example of needing one. I would have shot at him since my life was in danger.
