You should never, ever follow someone you ALMOST got into an accident with. I don’t care how big you think your muscles are. You don’t know who they are behind the wheel. They almost hit you, yes, but imagine how someone would react if you chased them down. Threatened, to say the least. And in such situations, people don’t think (as chasing them down shows) normal because their senses are heightened, adrenaline is pumping, and you start seeing red. I’m happy you and your girlfriend are fine, really. Next time, don’t let your senses, or your pride, get the best of you. You were lucky it was some 16 year old girl, and not a 32 year old man that had a reason to go through that red light or stop sign.
If you absolutely must, just go and get the plate number, do not try to get them to stop in any way, shape, or form.
I got into an accident tonight (got rear ended in the Subaru) by someone who hit me because someone rear ended them. The person who caused the accident ran, and then the person behind them chased them down and got their plate number. There’s almost no damage to my car, so I don’t care, but because the guy ran, I am going to press as many charges as possible, and my neck’s been hurting me since.
I 100% agree with you. When I think about it now I think the same way but I don’t know what came over me. Had my g/f not been in the car I may have just let it go but I don’t know. Hard to describe what came over me I guess. I think it has something to do with my Sicilian/Italian genetic make-up…:ponder
