Car following me...what should I do?

Question

I was coming back home from school this evening, and it was dark out. So I was at a red light, and the truck in the lane next to me stands next to me, even though there is a lot of room to move up. So I look to my left, and some guy was gesturing with his hands, I think he was saying "come here". Anyway, it freaked me out, so I continued driving, and it was like he wanted to drive the same pace I was. I then turned into a local street, and I saw him ahead of me a bit changing into my lane. I just drive off, and tried to get home as quick as possible. I have never experienced something like that, it really freaked me out. What is the best course of action to take when in such a situation?

Thanks.

If it is a really bad situation, just drive to a local police station.  If you see a police car parked, pull up behind it.  Avoid trying to out run anyone in this situation. Stay on heavily traveled roads.

DO NOT go home.  If the guy gets away he will know where you live and can come back anytime.  Continue driving like normal but stay in an area where you are not isolated.  Lock your doors.  Try to get the license plate number.  Stay Calm.  If the man continues following you, drive straight to the police station or a fire station and run straight inside and tell them you are being followed.

Do not ever go home unless you are sure they stopped following you.
If that happens again, I suggest driving to the nearest police station , park the car and go talk to any cop there and ask him for directions or something and tell him "is Walmart that way???" and point at that car, so that if someone is following you, he will think that you are telling the cop about him, so he will probably leave.
Then you can quickly get back in the car and go home as fast as you can.
Just take care, bro :Fist:

Keep driving in a straight line, if you hit a wall and the car following you crashes into you, you were right to be scared

If he made every turn you made and you felt followed>then
get out your cell phone and make a 911 call so that he
could be intercepted before he continues his following business.
He can be arrested for that.
