Road rage...maybe but I feel good about it!

[emjaykay1]

Driving around a roundabout minding my own business. Boy racer in a Corsa fancy lights, skirts, Halford alloys etc you get the picture. Pulls out in front of me and his mate give me the finger, mouthing expletives etc. So I ignore him 200 yards on I go into the inside lane to go past him he pulls in front and brakes fiercely I swerve to avoid just miss a guy in a car behind with his wife and 2 kids. Lots of horn lights etc. He does the same thing twice more (where are the fuzz when you need them).

boy racer does a runner lots of the finger expletives etc. I aologise to the guy behind he is cool and gives the finger to temple sign and points at the Corsa.

Deep joy! half a mile traffic jam both lanes blocked. I was out. his door was opened and grabbed him the hair (full of Hairgel yuk...another story) and he was invited to step out and discuss with me. His mate starts to get out and the guy behind me gets out his car and offers to re arrange his looks.

The colour drained from the drivers face but I felt good. They just do not expect that from an old guy in an S class! I went back to my car, they pull off squealing tyres etc and filter right and his mate is still giving me the big finger, expletives etc he loses control hits the kerb and when i passed an hour later on my return the nearside front wheel was horizontal still attached to the car.

Of course I blew my horn to him in salute...more finger etc you get the picture!!! I laughed like a drain! OK I was wrong & I promise never to do it again :Oops:

you can

come up here and do it to a few of our locals if you like. I always wondered what Clint was doing these days in between films.

Road Rage as defined by Dictionary.Com:
"road rage n. Violent behavior exhibited by drivers in traffic, often as a manifestation of stress"

I dont consider your reaction to fit with the definition above, more likely it was a justified and measured response........

Not that i would ever condone that sort of action: but it is always nice to make the chav's 'Have it'.....
Nice One

Mercs v Chavs? as per Mods v Rockers?

Mercs v Chavs? as per Mods v Rockers?

Sounds great to me........
We could start a Mercs v Chavs thread, although i'm not so sure any of them would be willing (or able) to participate in rational discussion.......
Then again, if chav slapping was an olympic sport..........

CHAV, Council House Associated Vermin! you dont think any of them have access to the t'internet do you? they are too busy on Trisha, Springer et al.


saw a happy slapper come a cropper on a clip the other day. they knocked off a blokes cap and slapped him accross the back of the head while he was seated. the guy got up and chased them and got hold of the offender and gave him what can only be described as reasonable retaliation and in no way amounted to a good pasting. happer slappers watch out, the vigilante defence kicking brigade are about. I did chuckle. even more so as the happy slapper was taken away by the police and charged with common assault. He wasnt in much state to argue with them and probably was relived they turned up.

to be honest i am not sure which way to police think about this. in theory it was an unprovoked attack and self defence. but chasing someone doesnt amount to self defence, so the guy who caught up with the HS was also liable to assault too. In my view, and on this occasions, the police reacted correctly and the HS was given a penalty alongside his physical warning from the member of the public. I hope a few more people react like this as it will stop the HS people. these people are cowards who wouldn't hitn anyone if they thoguht they were gonna hit back. I assume they would have been "Joy Riders" a few years back but we seem to have got harder to steal cars now.

Surely he was making a citizens arrest and restraining the HS using as reasonable force as necessary to ensure he didnt get away - if the HS's head bounced off a wall a few times I am sure it was purely accidental.......like!

 

[SLinKyjoe]

totally......he got what looked like a few reasonable force thumps to the upper body in too. whilst attempting to restrain the individual at the time, in fact i have never seen someone hit someone with his other arm holding the offenders throat. was quite impressive.

I had some completely pointless road rage directed at me today- 4 hard nuts in a boyed-up Corsa (again) waiting to exit from a garage next to a roundabout (stupid place to put it) - I'm coming 'round the roundabout and the driver starts mouthing at me as he had to wait for me to come past before he could pull out! I do my 'what?- I had right of way' type face, and he waves his fist at me...
what's up with these people that they're so impatient? Must be the heat going to people's heads.

They looked like 4 big blokes tho- not the sort I'd step out the car to have a discussion with on my own and not your average skinny chav boy racer.

 

[Myros]

we all know what the star on the bonnet is for

all we need to know is where the switch for the machine guns is really located. Exponential decrease in reoffending road-rage-chav-asbo behaviour on the Queen's highway.

 

[Chazchuzzlewitt]

yea, I wanna know where the switch for the oil slick and tyre nails is too for tailgaters...

I had the strange one yesterday. Approaching a T junction, lady driver on the main road coming from my left, indicating right (ie turning into my road). I slow down and stop politely some way back from the give way line (to give her lots of space and make it obvious I have seen her) and wait. Nothing. I wait longer, nothing. I catch her eye and give her a friendly wave. Nothing. I wave again in a "you can move now and stop blocking your carriage way" way - all friendly if a little confused. She then started screaming at me - lots of venom. ????????

She must be one of those people I try to let out of side turns who don't see my first, second or third attempts to wave them out and who then suddenly pull out just as I give up and launch the C43......

I heartily endorse the Browning .50 CAL H2 machine gun! Not too heavy, good rate of fire and explosive ammo available.

M61 20mm 6 barrel cannon with a firing rate of 100 rounds per second is nice but a bit bulky for anything but a S class.

I love the nightly Chavalcade of chavs in their Chavrolet hatchbacks outside Mac Grots! A veritable herd of "Burberry apes" I do spy!
