Today I was at a party and I had to go to work right after. As it got close to time for me to leave, I realized I had forgot shoes. Then I started freaking out and rushed home. (Mind you, I was on complete country backroads, and my "rushing" is 65 mph.) I live on a road of five houses and people come down our road at 60-65 mph all the time. Since I was running late and my house is only a little ways down, I got up to 45 mph.
When I went back down my road (still at 45) one of my neighbors started waving angrily at me. I acknowledged him, and slowed down to 35 and continued on my way. (I think we've all had these days, right?) So then he got into his truck and followed me all the way to my work. I never went over the speed limit. I made sure of it at that point. I didn't really know how to handle the situation at hand. He wasn't a cop, so I wasn't going to pull over...
Then at work I got out of my car and he got out of his and began ripping me apart about how that's a residential area (county roads aren't), and if one of his dogs were to run onto the road, I wouldn't be able to stop because I was accelerating so fast, and the next time he caught me, he was calling the police.
Okay, so I can't handle someone yelling at me. I told him I was sorry, and then walked away. And then I cried for the next hour.
My friend said it wasn't legal for him to follow me like that? Is that true? I understand I shouldn't accelerate so much, but I don't want to drive anymore. Opinions?
Is following someone legal?

Generally, yes.

Of course it's legal. He wasn't hurting you, only talking to you.
Stop speeding around his house. It doesn't matter if you call it rural or residential or suburban or BFE...there are speed limits.
If you're being followed by someone you are afraid of, just drive to the police station.

People with dogs should not allow them to run loose.
People with cars should not speed, especially near homes.
When one person is mad at another person, they should talk to that person about it, not yell.
It sounds like neither one of you was totally in the right.
So, both of you should apologize to each other ... without expecting the other person to apologize, too.
And, stop doing things that are dangerous or wrong or hurtful.
Just because a lot of people do things that are dangerous or illegal hardly makes it OK for you to do likewise.
I think that what you did really upset the man, and he just wanted to be able to tell you how much, and try to convince you not to behave that way in the future.
You didn't stop to apologize or allow him to have his say, so he followed you, so he could.
(I doubt he had your phone number or address so he could call or write you a letter, instead.)
I don't know whether it was legal for him to follow you under those circumstances, or not. However, unless he was driving dangerously, or with the intent of doing you harm, I don't see anything wrong with it.
