But it's a Miata... I thought the rear end of those could take a pounding.

No, he was like 3-4 cars behind.

I slam on the brakes so I don't hit him, and the camry behind me see's my tail lights and probably thinks my car stops as slow and lazy as his. Then with like 1 car length between us he realizes I'm going 0mph and he's going 40, and probably drops bricks as his front dips down and I hear tires screaming for their life. Tries to swerve right but we're on a BRIDGE, freeway overpass, and there is a giant curb there.

He finally stops inches from my bumper and inches from the curb.

I was bracing myself for impact.
Glad to hear everything was ok. Yea sometimes i wonder why do people follow soo closely. Even if they were pissed at you.. What's the point in follow so closely? They rear end you.. They still have to pay and more. So what is the reason for it?

3 weeks ago i was on florin rd going towards stockton bld. This guy was not letting me cut him. I gased it and did anyway. So he tailed me and i just brake checked him. Next, i drove
into a parking lot to find a parking spot. He still follows me and finally, i park. I get out and he says "you didnt have to do that" he had his wife and child in the car.i mean what was his intentions? I felt bad that he brought his family into danger so i just backed off and asked him what does he want to do about it? He just drove off. Ready to open a can of whoopin.

I see.

Yeah. It was 11:15pm and I wasn't trying to follow him close but he kept slowing down and I wasn't hitting the brakes, but I also let go of the gas too when he was slowing down. So I was paying attention to how he was driving and I was correcting accordingly.
