What do you do when a man you don't know is following you on the open road, and you don't have cell service?

Question

I caught a glimpse of this man at the
gas station, he was staring at me while I was on the phone, but that normally happens wherever I go. After I left the gas station, I took a left turn, and he did the same, but I didn't suspect anything, I just thought he was a normal person heading in the same direction as me, but when he took a turn on every road I turned on, that's when I started to feel scared. I didn't have service on my phone, and I didn't know when I was going to reach the next town. Of all the nights, he and I were the only two people on the road, for what he felt like forever, but as soon as I saw another car on the road, I sped up a little to get in front of that car, and when I looked in my rear-view mirror, I saw the guy who was following me driving in and out lanes, and it looked like he was trying to keep an eye on me. The first town I entered could not have come at a better time, I acted instinctively and went straight through two red lights, and that's how I managed to lose the guy. Honestly, I didn't even care if a cop pulled me over, I was literally shaking in fear, and clearly the officer would have noticed that. I didn't know the area, and I didn't want to end up on another open road without cell service, and the same guy still following me, I just wanted to get away from him. I'm driving alone again tonight, and I still feel a little shaken up after last night, so I'm trying to tell myself that is unlikely to happen again, at least not anytime soon.

I didn't know what category to post this under, but since the actions of the man who was following me last night fits the profile of a Psychopath, "Guys Behavior" seemed to be the right choice.

I can imagine how scary it must be.
You should always be prepared for such things. Keep pepper spray or teaser for self defence. Alwas travel with someone when if possible. If you think someone is following you, drive straight to nearest police station.
If you are walking alone and someone follows you, just see if there is anyone be trust worthy around, just walk towards them and speak casually. If there are houses just turne to one and knock on the door.
These are some things you can do to scare off the person.

Always carry a firearm or stuff to protect yourself at all cost. You did the right thing by driving and driving and never stopping or giving him attention. There is no further advice as you did a smart move because you never know what his intentions were, he could have kidnapped you, raped or killed you. Its never a good thing to be followed!

I don’t drive. I take the bus. I walk in areas I’m familiar with. Or I walk with people. I avoid being in areas where I’d be unable to protect myself against a group of people. So I stuck to high traffic areas or in with other people. Or in safe places.
