True incident Happened to me!
Tuesday 9th of january 2007, I was going from home. I travel 53 miles each way to and from work. I had a bad experience on the way home. I left the work at 4: 15PM, and travelled about 8 miles, and all of a sudden a truck pulls in front of my truck. I was travelling about 60 MPH, and had to slam brakes. In doing so, all of my items on seat fell on floor. While driving I started to pick my items from floor, and as a result I was driving little bit irregular and couple of times I tried to get on the side of road, but due to new apyment the shoulder was too deep and it caused me to panic, and I jerked my truck to get back on the road , going towards the cross of yellow line. I got back Ok, but I observed that some one was trying to follow me extremly close. I had heard that robberies were common around that area. I got scared, and travelled as fast as I can to get away from that follower. I speed up and he sped up, I slow and he slowed! Now I really got scared, and drove fast to a small town and pulled in some one's drive way. I slightly scrapped the parked auto in the drive way, and when I looked back , there was that creep! Only then I realized that he had been following with wrong impression that I was druck driver. he had called the local police and blocked my road so i can not go. Very soon several police cars pulled, and EMS vehical also came with them. Police officer asked me if I was drinking, or on drugs. I denied to both questions, and asked them to give me any test they prefer to test my soberness. Policemen gave me only two choices, go to jail on charges of being on drugs, or go to hospital and get clean bill, and go home . Inchose to go to hospital, by their EMS vehicle. Police officers new from breathlizer test that I had not been drinking, but accused me of on drugs! Hospital gave me urine test, and told me I was cleaner than any they have seen. Hospital people called the police department to come and get me and take back to my truck. A nice police officer picked me up and took me back to my truck. I still had to go about 42 miles to go home. I started to drive home, and about 15 miles later, I had a TIM (mini stroke)! I brushed my truck on side of bridge, and busted two tires. After I came back to life (awake) I called AAA to pick me and take me home. A high way patrol man stopped and asked if I needed any help, I told him that AAA truck was on its way to towe mw to my home. He had better sense than those local police officers, and new that I was OK. Finally, at about 1AM I got home! I always go to bed at 8 PM, so obviously was very late. I missed next day's work, and had to buy two new tires. This was the worst experience of my life. What a jerk can put you through by acting like a police, and scaring an old man like me (67 years old). This was my personal experience, and more details can be available by contacting me through the web site.
