Re: Ever Worried About Road Rage?
Had a badish one a few months ago that I can regale on here. Minding my own business in Tesco car park. Anyway, was time to leave and as I went to turn left in the car park I see a car coming up quickly in my mirror, so fast in fact it looked like I had cut him up. Anyway, he starts bawling out the car window. I rolled my windows down and he does more bawling so I called him a Fcking Gypo as he and his mate looked like p*keys. At that point he totally lost it. He rams me from behind about 3 times, I try and get away and he reverses then full speed rams me again and I fly into all the trollies and the trolley port. Car gets stuck. I get out and he then tries to run me over. I dive for cover. I open boot and get out my 5 wood from the golf bag and start chasing his car out the car park. He drives off very fast and I launch my 5 wood that narrowly avoids an old lady and her wheelchair. Went back to my car, totally trashed. Was a BMW 7 series and bill to repair was 4 grand. All escalated in seconds. Mad.

Yep. Went to the police station if nothing else for insurance purposes and they took notes looking disinterested. I said there must be CCTV cameras and they said they will go and check it out when they have time. Didn’t hear a dicky bird.

F*ck, There's a lot to unpack there. I'd do the essential reverse thread but have to do some actual work today.

Re: Ever Worried About Road Rage?
The restaurant on the RH side at the beginning of the video is where my golfing mate takes me for breakfast when I'm staying with him. I've asked him if he saw this. And I love the puzzled look of the Thai's on motor bikes/scooters, those looks are sooooo Thai.

Re: Ever Worried About Road Rage?
I was running to work a couple of months ago when someone almost ran me over turning left into at Junction, honking his horn. I slapped the back of his car and he slammed the breaks on, jumped out and stomped up to me having a go. I told him to learn how to drive and that he has to give way to pedestrians. He then stomped back to his car and drove off. Fortunately I'm 6ft2 so that probably put him off having a swing at me.
I reckon I come across incompetent drivers every other day as a pedestrian.

Re: Ever Worried About Road Rage?
My mate has now told me that it's not unusual to see cars cruising the beach road in Pattaya - as this car was doing - with exotic animals sitting in them, he can't understand the fuss. That's Thailand for youEliotNes wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 1:48 pm The restaurant on the RH side at the beginning of the video is where my golfing mate takes me for breakfast when I'm staying with him.

Re: Ever Worried About Road Rage?
Jusy a thought, but do you feel calling him a wildly offensive and racist name escalated the tension at all?Beradogs wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 1:10 pm Had a badish one a few months ago that I can regale on here.
