It’s about midnight, I got off the freeway and am on the off-ramp merging onto the Main Street to go home tonight, when this car stops in thr middle of the road and opens the doors and two people start stepping out in the middle of the road, I am pulling up to stop at the light but notice this and stop before the on-ramp entrance on the left to go back the other way, they stand up and one of them is smiling funny, seems sketchy. I can’t go forward on Main Street cause them and their car were blocking it, and I think they were going to approach me and I’m like “Nope, not dealing with this right now” so I merge back the other way left onto the on-ramp and get off at the next exit.

Weird experience

😱

Just glad I was paying attention and stopped early, if I had gone and stopped in the normal spot behind them at the light I wouldn’t be able to get on the on-ramp and away

Sound like you did exactly the right thing. Phew! 😅🫣🧡

Yes, very strange experience. If I hadn’t stopped further back I would’ve not be able to get onto the on-ramp

Oh, and did you ring police when you got home just to inform them for their record? Do you have camera footage from your car? 🤔

I do have the footage, don’t know if I should call or not, Likely they were messaging around and didn’t have ill intentions, but they were blocking the road. I might have their plate too I’d have to look it up on my dash cam.

Nobody else was around as it was late so freaky though 😂

Would be good to do. Police might hang around there a bit tonight if they have your info and footage. Are you in Australia? A CrimeStoppers report is easy to do and can be done anonymously too, if wanted. 🧡

Can you post it here, too

I've seen a few short videos of robbery attempts this way. Sketchy.

Glad you're ok and got away without any issues.

If it comes down to it in that kind of situation, if they're blocking you from front and behind just ram your car past the car blocking in front, you'll wreck your car pushing their car out of the way but the kind of people who do those sort of robberies are dangerous and likely to hurt you in the process. Just try not to run them over because then you're the one that gets in trouble. fighting a manslaughter charge will require expensive lawyers.

If you come across things on the road meant to puncture your tires in an attempt to make people stop so they can be ambushed and robbed just drive over it.

You'll get far enough on flat tires to get to safety as long as you don't lose control because of uneven handling.
