Damn right I was ticked off when he started slapping the Datto around. You should have seen him jump when I blasted him... He probably wasnt expecting such words from a harmless looking guy like myself.
Thanks for the support... I am a very passive person, but I can make myself
heard if I'm rubbed the wrong way. Not too sure about clubs and chains...
hey whatever works for you ;) As long as they are for self defence :) not
bashing up cars like what happened at Nerang here a few days ago!
I normally give way to buses... but yeah some of them expect you to have
some sort parachute mounted in the boot. Trucks I usually give space when
they are trying to get up a hill, but other than that they got no excuse for
tail-gating.
