A mother has issued a warning after she was followed for 20 minutes by a man in a car as she drove with her son in the back of the car.
Kalinda was shocked by the terrifying ordeal that ensued after she saw a man wink at her and raise his eyebrows as they both waited at a red light.
The driver began to follow her, following her every move, and eventually gave up his pursuit when other drivers honked their horns.
“Girls, take note, I don’t know what his intentions were, but he was just pissing because other cars started beeping at him,” the mother of one said.
Kalinda said she was driving in Brisbane when she saw the man in a dark gray Mitsubishi ute next to her at the traffic lights.

Kalinda, who is a pharmacist and business owner, said she was driving in Brisbane when she saw the man in a dark gray Mitsubishi ute next to her at the traffic lights
“He kept staring at me and making the most dodgy faces, winking, raising his eyebrows, so I rolled down the window and tried to ignore it,” she said.
Kalinda said the driver started moving in the same direction as her, slowing down and speeding up at the same time.
“The whole time he’s driving he keeps looking at me in the car, it was just really scary,” she said.
She came to an intersection with two lanes, one for left-turning motorists and one for right-turning motorists.
The driver began to follow her, following her every move, and eventually stopped chasing when other drivers honked at him, only to be left “shocked” by the ordeal.
“I decided to turn right and at the very last moment I cross the white line to turn left. He’s doing the exact same thing,’ she said.
After the man continued to follow Kalinda, she decided to quickly dodge into a toll road tunnel, but he continued to follow her.
“We go into this toll tunnel, I then slow to 40, he then slows to 40 still in my a**. I speed up, he speeds up, this went on and on,” she said.
The man kept adjusting Kalinda’s speed to stay beside her, preventing other cars in the two-lane tunnel from getting around them.
He pulls the creepiest faces. My son in the back gets really scared, then my son says, “Mom, he’s waving his phone at you.” I just refused to look at him, I kept driving,’ Kalinda said.
“Other cars started beeping at us because there were only two lanes in this tunnel and we blocked the entire tunnel.”
Fortunately for Kalinda, the frustrated horns of the other cars scared the man off and he continued on his way.
“I don’t know if he was trying to get my number by waving his phone, but I had a ring on my finger. My son was in the back, he was crying,” she said.
“I got really stressed, so you would know we weren’t interested. I refused to look at him.’
Kalinda shared the scary incident in a TikTok video that generated more than 236,500 views in less than 24 hours.
Many were shocked by the driver’s behavior and offered their advice on what people should do if they find themselves in a similar scenario.
“NEVER play car tag or go home. Drive to the nearest police station, fire station or even Bunnings Timber Drive-in etc,” one woman commented.
“There are all cameras in the tunnel, if you report it they should be able to get footage of this,” said another.
“If it ever happens again, make sure your car doors are locked and drive to the nearest police station,” a third added.
“If you don’t know where the nearest police station is, call a family member or friend and ask them to find it for you while you’re on the phone,” a fourth suggested.
