Subie Chased in Oakland...
I couldn't believe it when I saw this last night.
An STI was being chased by an Expedition who was intent on ramming him, given the chance. They came flying out of a parking lot of an unknown mall, went around and around the block, and I followed along. I got the license plate of the Expedition, but lost them when two little Hondas pulled in the way, and I would have had to endanger them in order to keep up.
Silver STI, Red Expedition. If this was you, in Oakland around 6pm last night, I was the SVX behind the Flippin' Old Rally Driver who was trying to ram you.

Sadly, I've been in a similiar situation in the hills. Luckily I know the twisty road and was able to create a safe distance between myself and the SUV. When I reached the freeway I was able to create a lasting gap. It's downright ****ed up for the person to be chasing you in the first place. But if you keep a cool head and put the safety of yourself and the other drivers around you (should there be any) first, you'll be just fine. Also, if you have a cell phone and it has service, 9-1-1 is your friend.

I was behind them (trying to get the license plate of the Expedition, in case something REALLY BAD happened), but when it came to a point where I felt I'd be endangering other motorists, I chose to discontinue following.
Why are you such a dipsh**?

There was a story on the news that some dude was posing as a police officer in an unmarked SUV randomly flashing blue lights and pulling people over to rob them on the highways.
