Almost another wrecked Legend......the story inside

I was on my way home today, driving in the far right lane of a road that is 2 lanes in each direction. I was driving beside another guy that was in the left lane. Infront of him there was a person stoped in his lane waiting to make a left hand turn. The guy beside me decided that instead of slowing down he wanted to switch lanes. So he did, but the only problem with that was that I was there. When he started to move over, I had to slam on my breaks and the horn, but he didnt hear the horn I guess becasue he continued into my lane. The only thing left to do to avoid a wreck was to swerve to my right. Unfortunatly there was a curb there. I ended up curbing both rims on the right side of my car and a chunck of my tires side wall is missing. At first I thought to stop and check to make sure my tires werent flat, but then i decided to chase him down. He wouldnt pull over even though i was blowing the horn at him and waving my hand out the window. I followed him to a local Harris Teeter, and confronted him about it. He just blew me off!! I was pissed so I called the cops at that point. After about 30 min. they show up and I tell them my side of the story. The police then walked inside and talked to the other guy. Basically what the police told me was that b/c there was no contact of our cars, there is no case. Insurance will see this as a 1 car wreck (me). All I want is for 2 new rims and a tire! They said that we would have to settle it in civil court. Anyways here are some pictures, but I'll get some better ones in the morning.




I guess the damage is nothing compared to what could have happened, but I'm still pissed that nothing can be done. grrrrr
