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.

Subject: RE: Road Rage
I drive a Camry (work car) but I don't have a death wish. Come to think of
it, I'm probably the only Camry driver that has ever gone above 65km/h and
doesn't have a hat on the parcel shelf.
(Apologies to any other camry drivers that are reading this forum and
actually use the accelerator pedal)
Seriously, people need to chill out. If someone hits me I'm not denying
I'd
be bloody pissed off. Swear words would probably be prevalent in my
discussion with the other party when exchanging details, but I would never
start belting them or their car. Come on people this is Australia not the
US.
As the other guy said, accidents do happen.
