Talking Pay back!

I was riding out of town on US-17 yesterday. There were a few cars around me so I was in the left lane going around some of them. All of a sudden I have a white Mercedes sports type car on my ***. I don't know how fast he was going when he came up on me, but he startled the $hit out of me. I moved right as soon as I could. He gave me a dirty look when he accelerated past me. I shot him the bird and thought, where are all the cops that normaly haunt the median cut-throughs on this road. Right about then a VA trooper flipped around and passed me in pursuit. I gave the cop the thumbs up as he passed me with lights and siren. Sure enough, he had the Mercedes on the side about a mile up the road. I thought, what the hell. I pulled over in front of them and when the cop came up to me I told him my story. With a big smile, he said:" OK, I'll take care of this. I hope he wrote the POS for reckless driving, tailgating etc.

Excellent! Hopefully it is an expensive lesson for him. Glad he didn't run you over.
