I remember a silly driver in a van weaving down the middle of the centre line to prevent me passing the van.

Not a motorway rammer but my former supervisor (was an old fella who drove really slow) used to commute to work along Puhinui and one day he got rammed off the road by a ute with a bullbar on it as they were going through a roundabout at 3am in the morning.Both vehicles would use the same route to work everyday so whenever he saw the ute in his rear vision mirror,he would pull over to give way.

Sounds like she brake tested them 4 times, they passed on the left then she chased them.

Yep, happened to me once. Some white bristle moustache old guy in a red sports cars decided that he wasn't happy with somebody ( me ) driving thru a traffic light controlled intersection in the left hand straight thru lane, while he was in the right hand turning lane, so he chased me across the intersection & rammed my vans right hand rear wheel with his car while straddling the centre line.
Funny enough, it did no damage to the tyre but wrecked the bonnet & guard corner of his nice car.
And what kind of seatbelt was she wearing that allowed her head to contact the steering wheel after she was ‘rammed’ from behind?

In the alleged circumstances and raining, would she have a good sight of the '4 huge men laughing'?

I feel there are two sides to this story. The damage IMO is inconsistent from being rammed by a ute at speed multiple times.
I'd hazard a guess she was policing their speed or simply being in her own little world and when she saw them tailgating she decided to brake check them. The ute driver for whatever reason decided she could suck eggs.

Surprised to see it's not a Ford Ranger, they like to tailgate.

I think that's more of a result of them being the number one selling vehicle. Lots of them on the road means lots more potential to house c u next Tuesdays.

I am yet to see a ranger that doesn't tailgate. I had one last weekend that followed me for 40km. I pulled over at least 4 times, slowed down on every passing lane but they just stayed on my bumper. I lost them on the Kaimais when I buried the right foot.
