Yup... drove a small car back from college and two truck bros decided it'd be fun to sandwich my car between them. One rode my rear bumper with high beams, the other slowed down and rode the middle line so I couldn't pass. Then he'd start slamming his brakes.

I got furious reading that. I would’ve slammed the brakes and said goodbye to my car at that point. USA hits different man.

Time to carry a box of nails, or a paintball gun 😁

it's all fun and games until they pull out the real gun.

I called the incident into the police station but it was before I had the dashcam so they just shrugged (and were probably blood related anyway).

Cops usually are the same ones driving BRo trucks, or its likely their kids like you said.

I do like the box of nails idea though. Keep a flimsy cardboard box of roofing nails in your door pocket for tail gating assholes :)
