She Was A 19-Year Old College Student Driving Home Late One Night When A Man In A Truck Put Her In A Terrifying Position And Almost Hit Her
Have you ever had a scary experience with another driver while on the road late at night?
One woman remembers a man in his truck deliberately almost smashing his old truck into her car after driving home from a concert late one night.
She was a 19-year-old college student at the time. Her parents lived in Oakland, California, and she went to a college that was in a more rural area with not much going on nightlife-wise.
So, whenever she visited her family at home, she took advantage of the social scene and would stay out late to go to concerts with her friends.
One night, after going out with friends after a concert, she drove home on Interstate 880 around 4:00 am. She says the road is notorious for crazy drivers in California.
She was almost home when she saw her exit up ahead and moved into the slowest lane. A semi-truck was on her left, and an older man in a beat-up truck was speeding up directly behind her.
Suddenly, the semi-truck recklessly cut her off as it entered her lane, so she had to hit her brakes promptly.
“The truck coming up behind me thought I was break-checking him, which I wasn’t,” she explained.
“He started flashing his high beams and tailgating me so hard I really thought he would hit me.”

She finally made it into the exit lane, but the man in the truck followed closely behind her. Once the off-ramp turned into two lanes, the man in his truck flew past her, drove into her lane, and slammed on his brakes. He came to a complete stop on the road.
“I still remember his face manically laughing,” she said.
She was terrified and wanted to avoid trying to pass the man in the truck at all costs. Who knows what he could’ve done next?
Thankfully, because she knew the road well, she remembered there was an on-ramp to her left, so she turned the car around as quickly as possible before zooming away from the scary man’s truck.
“I’m very glad he didn’t manage to turn around to follow me,” she remembered. “Or, if he did, I managed to get away fast enough.”
Can you imagine being in that terrifying position?
