Road Rage

luke · 10-11-2005, 10:36 AM

About 25 minutes ago, while I was driving in to work, I was cut off by a little red Honda. I casually tooted the horn, and this must have angered him as he slammed on his brakes, nearly causing me to rear end him (When he cut me off he completely removed my safe gap from the car in front). I hopped into the right lane and he slowed down and pulled up beside me. He swerved right over near my car and was hanging out the window, swearing and waving an alarmingly large machete.

What would you do in this situation? I just turned as quick as possible down the next sidestreet. I reckon that if the traffic wasn't so heavy he would have followed me.

Is it worth calling the police? I got his rego.

Yep, contact the police. Machete wielding psycos should be locked up

I sure as hell would! If he's stupid to show it off in the first place, then I doubt the dumbarse would take it out of his car. Geez some people.

Good idea. I'll call them on my lunch break and post what they said they can do about it

I'd have waved the club lock back at him, then let my eyes glaze over in the usual way.

An armed society is a polite society. Buy a gun.

gozza · 10-11-2005, 11:21 AM

im getting that damn crowbar i always play with at supercheap....no point having a machete if you not gonna use it.....and personally...id rather front up with a crowbar cos i wouldn't cut someone in that situation.....could see myself cracking a few skulls with a crowbar tho....self defense of course... i aint a violent person ..lol

RED_EL_XR8 · 10-11-2005, 11:33 AM

Ah bravado behind glass, some of the worlds toughest stances are taken from behind a windscreen!

And the statistics of those beaten with their own baseball bat, cut with their own machete, pummelled with their own crowbar are not good!

If you wouldn't be brave enough to shout stuff to to someone face its more than prudent not to try it from behind a windscreen. Unless you ARE hell bent on having your drivers door removed forcibly at the next set of lights.

I'm with Bastard on this one, present an air even more mentally defective than the other guy, shut the hell up, and the only thing you'll have lost is your position in a traffic queue. This is much more preferable to losing your health and bits of car.

And those of with age, size and a maddening look, will actually get a chuckle watching your manic struggle to raise the windows and lock the doors in a panicked state!

EBII Fairmont · 10-11-2005, 11:33 AM

How about a stun gun. Send a fair few volts through their body and make them fry. To the point where you can see smokecoming off his body. Just make him feel your rath.

THe other option is you could always hide

:. but i prefer the stun gun. It should be made mandatory that everyone ownes one and uses it at their own free will

I feel the same way about the Ban Button.

RavenLS1 · 10-11-2005, 11:41 AM

what a flaming crazy bastard

Laminge · 10-11-2005, 11:43 AM

why wouldnt you ring the cops, these people should be off the road.

I can take of myself and do so on a regular basis, but imagine your poor mum or little sister?

Would you recommend that they also buy the crowbar from supercheapandcrappy stores?

gozza · 10-11-2005, 11:44 AM

ive has a few people rage at me and ask me if i wanna go....while we are on the freeway....yeah mate sure just let me roll up my cuffs..bah...but serisouly there are people out there that will start for no reason....like that dude off this forum that got hassled by some drunk dudes in a commy...i want to be protected....depending on size etc etc i reckon i could fend of at least 2 people...3 would be pushing it....i want that crowbar rdy if im facing 3 punks...won't hesitate a second to smash the first one that moves...only problem then is that crowbar could quite easily be turned against me lol

You couldnt trust their quality from Supercheap, after all Greg Murphy is the biggest tool they have.

Contemplate on that thought for a while!

And anyone contemplating kitting up their car with weapons of any kind should take a long hard look!

Report the crazies! We know some will fly off for no reason, does anyone thing provocation is going to settle the demeanour?

If it does not have a bullbar the size of a small car on the front, I would have it fitted. I would also, for safetys sake, make sure that wherever possible is reinforced with steel.

I would then have a heavily worked 351 Cleveland put in truck with a dual 3" exhaust. Fit a 200ltr fuel tank and 8 spot lights across the roof of the truck.

Paint it black.

Now see if anyone has a problem with you. In the unlikely case where they do... Remove them, the car in front and they caravan they are towing from the road, with your bullbar, and keep going.

im guessing you didnt see her again..........

had a little rage last night..........behind a bird driving a vn last night in a 50k zone and she starts to slow down..ok she is turning into a driveway so i go to go up the inside then she swerves to the left to get a wider turning circle while im on the anchors ,like back roads no one around why not just cut across to the driveway!!,anyway gave her a flash and the "learn to drive" speech and was on my way.

but that is my pet hate with drivers,when they go to turn right at a intersection with lines marked and they swerve to the left to get that little bit more room for the corner.

Big Mike · 10-11-2005, 06:37 PM

On the way back from a very good night on the town Sat'd three skin-head morons in a P.O.S. VS Commode with SS-ish body kit, rims, etc., dark green (aren't they all), faded and malfunctioning taillights (aren't they all), racing to get ahead of me (don't they all) only to line up at the next lights time after time, I'd get up to the speed limit then they'd pummel past me in their oh-so-ty six-cyl commode.

The shear ordacity of these f-wits; we are two good looking fellas who've had a great night in our party clothes dancing with all the ladies, in a buffed and pollished pillarless XB Coupe no less, with the windows down and the music on but not too loud; these skin-head losers say loudly to one-another at one set of lights "pfft. Bad taste in hair cuts, bad taste in cars," Loser said WHAT??? We have hair, we have it groomed, and this is a REAL car, regardless of brand its a classic and a hot one at that. Pss off buddy. With ya ty skin heads and ty singlet tops. Ya couldn't get in a club if ya wanted to. Which begs another question, what are these ferals doing driving around at 4am on a Sun'd morning besides armed holdups and looking for a fight???

Needless to say I left them for dead, lapped around a back-street block just in case, then continued on my merry way home with my slightly intoxicated mate making sure I stayed awake.

Pet hate: D.Heads who drive at or below the speedlimit, or regardless are driving slower than me, in 90/100/110 zones and INSIST on blocking the right hand lane. Sometimes I'll flash my lights, sometimes I'll boot up the inside (100km/h 3rd gear exhaust is louder than my horn), and sometimes I'll just sit there behind them worrying if I take some kind of action it'll come back to kick me.

On a purely comical note: "Its our right to have a gun! How are you going to protect your property and family? If you don't have a gun, you aren't a man and are just asking to be shot at. If everyone had more guns, there'd be less shootings! BESIDES, GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, BULLETS KILL PEOPLE!!" Talk back radio, GTA Liberty City, PC version

Nonononono! Guns don't kill people. It's the morone behind the gun who kill people. But i would like to second the idea of have a gun. But personally as i said earlier the, stun gun all the way. Watch em fall into a form of paralysis

:. He will feel the paina dn reprocutions for ever trying to do anything to you.

But why do so many povodore drivers wanna try prove their so good. This one morone would wait for me to catch up and then cane the crap out of his bomb and then slow down again to do the same thing. I didn't understand it because I drive like most normal people in one lane at one constant speed in the limit. Pull up to the lights an starts giving it to me because he thought he was so good n all. So i turn around and tell him how i'd like to shack up with his woman and what i'd do to her. From thinking his top stuff he became into a physcopathic freak while his woman stared at me and smiled

:. Teach him to mess with me.

There are a variety of health insurance funds you may wish to consider, some even offer funeral benefits...
