Vroom Vroom

My friend and I were coming home from a movie one thursday night long ago. We were talking about the movie to each other and he was driving his 1979 Z-28 Camero. In front of us was a white car and to our side was a white van. My friend decided to pass the white van. We just barely squeezed in between the two vehicles almost hitting the van. Impressed by the feat, we continued to down the road. The van that we had cut off was keeping close to us. We took a turn and it took the same turn. Immediatedly we suspected we were being followed. To prove this, we took a U-Turn and the van began to take the turn. That was all the proof needed. My friend hit the gas and SAILED down the road.

The van sped up to try and keep up, but we were already at a stop light making a right turn. When the turn was completed, my friend slammed on the gas and we were again sailing down the road. It was a main road though and we needed to lose the van that had finished making the same turn. We pulled into this neighborhood and drove about eighty miles an hour taking turns as fast as the hunk of junk Camero could make them. Stop signs were failing at their jobs and tires were skreeching. We made it out of the neighborhood and parked in someone's driveway to let the moment pass. After checking the car for damage that the curb we hit might have caused, we made our journey home.

How to escape a car following you

Step 1: Be sure to know the area real well. This person is following you because they believe you did something to warrent some sort of physical retaliation. If you are caught, a conflict will most likely ensue. This is the most crucial step in the process. If you don't know the area and get lost, it will be harder to find your way back and you will most likely meet the other vehicle in the confusion. If not that, than you might run into a dead end street or circle neighborhood. KNOW THE AREA.

Step 2: Make sure that your car has enough gas and power to make it. There is always a fear of running out of gas during a persuit. Make sure that your car can really gun it when you have to. If you can't accelerate very well, then I would drive as defensively as possible.

Step 3: Ignore stop signs, yield signs, and red lights. These will not slow you down, but the persuer might be persuaded otherwise. Especially if they don't believe it's worth it to risk breaking the law. Chanses are that at night, especially late at night, stop signs will not be inhabitted by other cars.

Step 4: Once you think you've lost them, find a place to park in a quiet neighborhood and wait about twenty minutes before leaving. This will give the persuer ample time to give up the chase and resume their "normal" lives. Also, take a different route home. If they are stuborn, they might wait somewhere for you to pass and begin to follow you again.

Step 5: Get home, have a few beers, and laugh about the whole mess.
