Driving home with the wife, on the side road that runs parallel to the interstate. I wasn't even hypermiling, just doing the speed limit. All I did was honk at the guy when he passed us on a double-yellow line at a blind curve. He slammed on his brakes, rolled down his window, and flashed his semiauto. In the hands of the Sheriff now, but, damn...
Glad you are okay. This is why I give zero reaction to any other driver around me. I learned a long time ago too many unstable drivers pack heat in their glovebox.
We are so pissed. Makes me want to config an electromagnetic pulse generator off the HV battery. But you're right, being aggressive is never good, and in a Prius it is about the worst case scenario.
Scary! And a bit short on deets. Do tell: I guess you called 911 and reported. Apparently you saw him apprehended. Will you have to serve as a witness? Probably too soon to tell I guess.
Tropospheric emp collimation maybe? IEEE Xplore - The distortion of electromagnetic pulses undergoing total internal reflection in a stratified troposphere Somewhat impractical, you may as well just nuke the punk from orbit, just to be sure.
A similar situation occured here in Sacramento last month on the freeway. An older couple were making a trip to see their new grandchild when some lunatic pulled a gun and shot the man while driving on the freeway. Last I heard he was alive but in the hospital. The gunman was never found. Makes me sick to think there are people like this on our roads.
At least it didn't turn into this, which happened right around the corner from my house a year or so ago. As an aside both my wife an myself had been tailgated by this guy at least once. He was fairly infamous on route 422. UDATED VIDEO: Rt. 422 road-rage shooting suspect found dead - pottsmerc.com
