Ive got a story, but its more about my bad road rage lol.
You know when you just have those days? lol.......
Well driving through town, two lanes merge into one, I happened to be in the lane that was ending, ute next to me and I was travelling a little faster so I was going to merge in front. Said ute decided to speed up, so ive started to slow and try to merge in behind, he decided to slow down. Saying a few words in the car about my current neighbour, I dropped it back a gear and made it look like I was going to launch past, but hit the anchors and pulled in behind him as he was waiting for me to speed up again.
For about 500m up the road the ute was serving dangerously, jumping on the brakes and accelerating, even throwing rubbish behind him. Come to a red light, the ute driver decides to get out and have a word, walks up to my car and yells all kinds of abuse and saying I almost hit him and scared his girlfriend which was passenger. I virtually told him where to go and get back in his car.
Then he proceeded to kick my side mirror and dent my front guard aswell as bash his hand on my windscreen.
By this stage, I'd had enough, the light was green as he was getting into his car to take off I managed to scoot around him and cut him off. Got out of my car with clublock (possibly wheelbrace, it was almost 4 years ago) in hand, two big swings at his front windscreen, one big swing at his side window and one big swing to him while giving his dose of abuse back.
Ended up on a 12 month good behaviour bond because of it.
Now I just shake my head at other drivers.
The people I detest the most, are the people, mainly older men that for some reason have the ability to tell how fast one is travelling. Those stupid hand signals and yelling to slow down when I'm really not speeding makes me want to get out of the car again and have some more words.

When I had an Asian girlfriend it was disturbingly common for people to drive past in cars hang out the windows yelling insults at her. To get the F out of the country and go back to her country and get her own man and things like this. The things you notice about your own people when sitting on the other side of the fence were very vey disturbing and that happened alot

It does. I did it once during a very busy night and caused the guys inside to panic. Some alarm was going off and they were going on about pump X, then relaxed when I mentioned I was on pump X and just moved out.

This thread has gone so far south I think it's over.

Fev and V3RSAC3, must you two make so many pointless useless posts? For a time there I was wondering if there was anyone else on these forums.
