What to do if someone follows you while driving.?
|
This car was originally in front of me but then the lanes became two so I turned into the other lane but not to get around them. When the two lanes became one again, that car ended up behind me.
At first, I thought the car was going the same few streets at first but I noticed that when I was stopped at a light, I would move forward a bit and so would they. They, 3 girls in the car, eventually took the same route that I did and at first, I brushed it off because I thought they were going to pick someone up at the station because many people go to the station.
However, when I parked in the lot, they parked right behind us. My friend nor I got out of the car because we waited to see what would they do. They were waiting for us to get out I presume. I decided not to get out and just drive off; the car took off following right behind me again.
When exiting the lot, I didn't put on my signal and decided to turn left. The driver was pointing to turn right but too bad, I didn't go right. That damn car started honking the horn when I didn't turn left (there was a car coming down the left side). To annoy them, I didn't go. I know that's not the brightest idea to do but hey, it's in the past now. I lost them a few seconds later behind a bus.
They didn't and I got my friend to the station in time.
But I've never been in that kind of experience before. I don't know what set off the driver to follow me like that but I was upset, scared and annoyed.
The bottom line is what do I do if I'm in this situation again?
Please and Thanks.

If you are being followed, by anyone- even a car full of girls & you are certain that you are being followed, call 911 or go to the nearest police station. Don't waste your time trying to get detailed information about their vehicle (unless specifically asked by the 911 operator), do give a good description to the 911 operator as to what you are driving, color of your vehicle & your license plate number. (This is the reason why I stated not to waste your time describing their car, the police will have your vehicle information & know that the car immediately behind you then is most likely the car you are calling 911 to report)
If you go to a police station, do not get out of your car, honk your horn to get the attention of any officers that may be outside to come over to your car. People have been killed in the parking lot of a police station by exiting their vehicle & trying to go to the police officer. Let the officer come to you. If the person(s) in the car following you plan to harm you, the officer is the one with the gun, so let the officer get between you and the occupant(s) of the other vehicle.
If there is no one outside or you cannot get an officers attention with your horn, call 911, let the operator know what is going on & where you are & they can radio an officer in station to come outside, or if by chance all of the officers on duty are on patrol, they can dispatch one to intercept you at the station. But usually the person following you will run away once they see you pulling into the police station parking lot. In this case then, try to get a description of the vehicle, registration number, etc as the driver flees to give to the officer that you speak to if they would for some reason not see the vehicle before it flees. |

next time, if you can, drive to the police station and go inside and report someone stalking you.
or call 911 on your cell phone, even if it's against the law to talk while driving. your safety vs.a ticket..
don't call friends to help because you don't want to start a brawl.
or goto a public place with lots of people.. nobody likes witnesses.. |

first record the tag # description and occupant description if you can, then I would drive around looking for a Police car at a 7-11 or some other place and pull right up to it and tell the officer your being stalked by someone, he'll take it from there, likely the person following you will have taken off by then also... You might even call the local Police station and drive there and have someone weet you as you pull in.. |
