[Note to staff: If I am breaking any forum protocols please delete my post]

I was leaving work today around 1:45 this afternoon at the intersection mentioned above. Knowing that people drive pretty fast through that stretch, I turned left and and floored the Suburban to merge with ongoing traffic. Out of no where, as I was accelerating full throttle a white Ford pickup came up behind me from the rear, sped up in the turn lane (median), cut me off, and scraped/impacted my driver side front fender.

The adrenaline was pumping pretty good after that so I followed him a ways and he refused to pull over to exchange insurance. I went so far as to pull even with him to get a good look and he refused to look over at me, even throwing his left hand in the air in disgust. He was an older white guy around 60 years of age.

I spoke with the Brazos County Sergeant and filed a report to at least document the incident. He was extremely cordial and helpful.

My point of posting this is just a friendly reminder to stay calm behind the wheel when an impatient a-hole pushes the envelope between aggressive and deadly. I drive approx. 1,100+ miles every week and I love to make good time when road conditions are safe but never at the expense or harm to others.

The insurance company will find the other guy's insurance company if OP files a claim.

Keep us posted.

You pulled out into the turn lane and floored it with traffic coming instead of waiting for a break in traffic?

Sounds like he probably just returned the favor you did him when you entered the road, just that he made contact.

" Out of Nowhere". WTH does that mean? Did you not see a white truck coming? Sounds like he had to take evasive action/ left lane after you pulled out directly in front of him and possibly didn't know he had bumped into your vehicle when he dodged you.
Us old guys don't see or hear as well as we used to…

Yeah, "out of nowhere" does not occur based on known rules of the universe. However, if what you said happened then the evasive driver would have come to a stop, or at least slowed and dropped back, in the median/turn lane rather than proceed to accelerate and cut in front of the OP. The most likely guess would be they did that in anger due to OP being perceived as pulling out in front of them.

Mindbending logic

OPs fault for not seeing the white truck.

As far as the guy who hit OP…not his fault. He's just an old man who can't see or hear. Probably didn't even know it.

Y'all please be careful when following a road rage driver. Get his license plate if you can then let it go. A few of years ago "my cousin" from my second family was shot and killed by a guy who side swiped him. My cousin followed when he didn't stop then when the guy did stop Andre got out his phone to take a picture and ended up capturing his own murderer right before he was shot. It's just some body damage and people are crazy. Report the incident to police and file insurance then move on with your life.

Well, looking at the headroom over the driver of the white truck, it looks like he's a little "person". I thought people like that drove much bigger, jacked up, coal rolling trucks?
"Green" is the new RED.

If it's anything like when my pregnant wife got hit by an old lady, all the other person has to do is say they didn't do it and their insurance company won't do anything.

This reads like you ignorantly pulled out in front of a fast moving vehicle, then got pissed that they managed to avoid a complete wreck but clipped you in the process.

The only way a vehicle "comes out of nowhere" from behind going that fast is if YOU did some dumb *****

I'm not saying they are in the right for leaving, but this sounds like you got lucky your mistake didn't become irreversible.

The two insurances with split it 50-50, even if you have photos of the license plate, even if you are the one that contacted police, even if all the contact evidence speaks to your version of the events. As long as there is no video and the rager doesn't admit fault it will be split 50-50. Insurance agencies aren't willing to research and they aren't willing to fight for their clients. They absolutely won't use deductive reasoning and context clues.

Impatient aholes pull out in front of me all the time but so far I have managed to avoid hitting them by aggressive application of the brakes. I also tend to lean on the horn.

That has not been my experience. The amount of litigating these insurance companies do boggles my mind and I'm convinced it's one of the reasons that insurance has skyrocketed.

Two no-fault accidents in the last five years. One, we got rear-ended while sitting still at a light. That driver later claimed we were changing lanes. But there was a lot of evidence to support our story. Those companies fought it for a several months before the other insurance conceded that their driver was at fault.

In the second we got hit by a 16 year old who ran a stop sign. The other driver claimed fault and that never changed. There was still a legal dispute that lasted nearly 2 years before they fully settled our incident and we got our deductible back. What were they battling about? No idea. I'm sure the cost of the accident had a lot to do with it - totaled a brand new Platinum Expedition.

Yeah, "out of nowhere" does not occur based on known rules of the universe. However, if what you said happened then the evasive driver would have come to a stop, or at least slowed and dropped back, in the median/turn lane rather than proceed to accelerate and cut in front of the OP. The most likely guess would be they did that in anger due to OP being perceived as pulling out in front of them.

This is exactly what transpired. I had a clear and open window to enter ongoing traffic. As I stated in my original explanation, I was accelerating with the pedal buried to the floor. We were going the exact same speed when he clipped me.

What I mean by "out of nowhere" is that there was a pack of cars all at the same distance heading west. There was plenty of cushion to hop in and stay ahead. F-150 driver was already going well above the posted speed limit (55mph) when he gets boastful and decides to overtake my rig.

Anyone who has sat at that intersection with the flashing red lights knows that it's a crapshoot or else you'll be stranded there for 10 minutes. These packs of vehicles come in waves and the timing is never consistent.

All I want is a little more presence from our local LEO's through that stretch and the installation of RYG traffic lights to reduce these avoidable interactions behind the wheel.

I honestly am not angry with F-150 guy. He's probably pretty nice and I could have a good laugh over a cold beer with him. But for pete's sake, this is Bryan/College Station, why should anyone be driving in a hurry around here unless it's an emergency?

Using a right turn followed by a uturn is not used nearly enough. People chance too many difficult congested left turns like this one

There is litigation driving up insurance costs, but it's not the kind you describe. Many of the insurers are a part of mandatory, streamlined interagency arbitration process.

The kind of litigation driving up costs is the hundreds of thousands of personal injury claims seeking policy limits every time for every scuffed bumper, enabled by the PI attorneys and their judicial allies. Replacement cost of your platty expedition is a drop in the bucket.

This is a great example of why you need front and rear dash cams in every vehicle, all the time.

Not only to document incidents for insurance/police - but also to protect your side of the story on TexAgs.
