P plated commondor vs Dfender 130
Started becuse hes was so fur up m tail pipe I couldn't see him through the side mirros and only from his roof back out the rear view mirror. I slowed and he didn't back off, There was nothing around and it was also a great overtaking point :roll: . Since ths didn't ork I turned my revesing spotties on and next thing you know he is on the anchors swerving out from behind me then flat to the floor as he passes he tried to ram me. Then e cut back infont of me and hit the brakes in cloud of smoke. Missed him by mllimeters but a leftin a hury when I turned all my lights on and just reved my engine a little.

Stupid thing is If he wsn't tailgating then he coud have been round e in seconds and gone.

Just my usual skill.

can i say I stopped road rage once?

I pulled out onto a dual lane a couple of years ago a car was comming in the same lane about 300 meters back - heaps of time I thought, I sped up to 80 the speed limit but this car kept getting closer. When he was about 1/2 a cars length behind me he started to flash his lights including spotlights then left them on. so I indicated to him to pullover which he did.

I grabbed my hammer jumped out, smashed his spot lights before he got out of the car then told him his lights were faulty and I fixed them for him.

He had his door half open slammed it shut and took off, made me feel much better.

...and they say driving is fun.
road rage was a lot worse in uk and lucky for me not seen much out here, i try to keep out of it, i really dont want abroken nose or dented car for some moron who can not control there themsleves.

My head teacher was in sydney, parramata road i think he said and was just heading up the street minding his own business, he was stopped at a red light, but didnt realise he was in a left lane must turn left lane, but not knowing the area and knowing if he turned he would have gotten lost he stayed at the lights when the green arrow told him to go so he could go straight ahead when the main lights went green. By this time a car full of Lebanese guys in a sports car pulled up behind him and started ramming his car and screaming out the window. Now he was in the wrong i know, but this isnt really called for. He got that last laugh though cause they were in some Jap rice burner thing and all they were ramming was the towbar on his rodeo.

2 more incidents i had forgotten about.

The first one i was a passenger.

We were in our old ford fairmont wagon coming back from sydney with a car load of 7. We were just starting the climb down Mt Victoria when we came up on a slow truck so dad checked his mirror and pulled out, no problem there. Once we were along side the truck this guy appears from nowhere behind us and stands on his horn and screams abuse at dad. Once passed dad pulled in and let him go by, he then parked diagonally across both lanes and stops dead in the road, trucks were locking up behind us car going everywhere. He then grabs a steering wheel lock and comes up to the car. Calling dad a ****ing dickhead etc etc saying we nearly killed him. He then slams the club lock on the bonnet got in his car and screamed off at the speed of sound. We stopped in Lithgow and gave the cops his rego details.

Second incident i was driving. I was heading out of Rylstone to go to my (now) ex girlfriends house. Just out of town you used to go through a dip and the about 100m later there was a reasonable sharp right hander. As i rounded the corner there was a toyota corona on my side of the road (totally) he had swung wide into my lane to take the corner at well above the speed limit. I hit the ancors and only just missed a head on. I then chucked a U-turn and followed him into town where he had stopped in the main street (which was packed with people) i got out of the car abuse the **** out of him making sure if he pulled a stunt like that again and didnt kill me i would kill him and left. When i got to my girlfriends house 20 mins out of town her mother already knew what had happened, the woman working in the supermarket had rung her when i left. Gotta love small towns.

I remember seeing one in moorooka in brisbane years ago where a bloke was chasing another one through the traffic and when he caught up to him started swinging a club lock at his car while he was driving, nearly caused a pile up :roll:
