TAG # [XXX] , A GREEN HONDA CIVIC WITH A MALE DRIVER WAS DRIVING DOWN NORTH LAKE DRIVE IN LEXINGTON, SC TODAY AT APPROXIMATELY 1:30 PM. I WAS BEHIND THAT CAR WHILE HE STAYED IN THE LEFT LANE PROCEEDING SLOWLY. I REMAINED AT ABOUT THREE CAR-LENGTHS BEHIND THIS PERSON WHILE HE BEGAN SLAMMING ON HIS BRAKES. THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT OF HIM. I TAPPED THE HORN AS HE LOST SOME CONTROL OVER THE WHEEL DUE TO HIS ABRUPT STOP AND ATTEMPTING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. HE PROCEEDING TO "FLIP THE BIRD OUT HIS WINDOW TOWARDS ME." HE CONTINUED THIS BEHAVIOR FOR AT LEAST TWO OR MORE MILES CONTINUALLY STOPPING EVERY FEW MOMENTS. HE WOULD NEARLY COME TO A COMPLETE STOP EACH TIME, THEN PICK BACK UP PACE AFTER REGAINING CONTROL. I FINALLY PASSED HIM AND ROLLED DOWN MY WINDOW TO LET HIM KNOW I WAS REPORTING HIS TAG NUMBER. THE PERSON DIRECTLY BEHIND ME WAS NOW BEHIND THIS CIVIC DEALING WITH THAT SAME BEHAVIOR AS IT APPEARED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR. THIS OBSCENE BEHAVIOR NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH AND NOT TOLERATED ON OUR ROADS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
