Default Car Followed Me EIGHT MILES Copying Every Move I Made!! WATCH OUT FOR IT!!

Alright Fellow Northerners,

Just wanted to give you all a warning, tonight i was driving home and happened to be driving through Old Trafford when I noticed in my rearview a small toyota aygo doing everything possible to catch up with me, as i was in a que of traffic i could not go anywhere so it caught up then stayed behind. I thought it was just a young lad at first trying to show off but then after trying some evasive maouvres that would of vastly prove a point i realised i was being followed.

So i hit the motor way and flew off leaving the Aygo behind, came off at my junction and thought all was well and again was in a line of traffic when the same car came into view again and must have been flooring the little car to manage the speeds it was doing!

So i stayed in the que of traffic and ended up at some lights at the front of the que so i thought great i'll just use the power and get away, so i flew off from the lights and again left the car behind but yet again ended up behind other traffic so the car caught up.

In the end i knew a straight stretch that would be safe to overtake so when i got to it and seen it was clear i overtook the two cars ahead of me and watched the Aygo attempt to do the same behind but pulled back in traffic when they realised they could not get past!

This was the last i saw of it as i made quite a big gap between us!

But like i said i don't know if it was young lads or someone following me for a reason but thought i'd give you all a heads up as a just in case!!

The car was a Silver Toyota Aygo, unfortunately i didn't get the reg as i was concentrating on driving!

Wouldn't say it was to do with my ex nick, i assumed they were following me home so had no intentions of going home if they were still behind! Back up plan was go a long way round and back on my self and to a pub where i knew about ten of my friends would be and inform them on my way!

Although still unsafe, i do remember reading that 999 is the only phonecall you can legally make whilst driving (without handsfree), not sure how accurate that was

My only thoughts while driving were i want to get away from this annoying car!!
Didn't think about the coppers as it may have just been young lads trying to prove a point, if it was then i belived they failed haha.
Probably weren't a serious car jacking group since their choice of car weren't exactly great but could of been watching for where i live like nick said!
Not seen it around since and i would probably prefer the ten mates option with a mate blocking the car park exit with his car!
I've already planned that if i see the same car and it happens again that i'll open a gap, pull in somewhere and turn the hunter into the hunted hahaha
