i agree. haha.

I wonder if, "I panicked and my foot slipped of the clutch", would be a defense?

If your in a 4by with towbar in that situation shouldn't you execute a emergency stop as often as required to stop being chassed.

Don,t think I would have stayed to nice.
Perhaps after the windscreen bit low range locker engaged and over the back half of his ute.

The news on the radio said he had been charged with dangerous driving and wilful damage. Heres hopeing the courts also order a psych evaluation to see if he is fit to ever hold a licence. Obviously he isn't at the moment.

Being a cunning old bugger[ all of us old buggers are] I would be found slumped over the steering wheel, passed out, from, ? heart attack, stress attack, any other cunning old bugger excuse. Could be hard to explain how I turned off the ignition, though. But I would find a way, Bob

don,t think us over 70'ers licences could survive too many more mishaps like that. at least it would be only one person, not a mall full.

That always reminds me of the old joke about how you would like to die.....peacefully in your sleep just like your grandfather....not screaming like his passengers
