I did try that once. I dialed 100, I told them I was being harassed on the road (I am a guy BTW) and they gave me the number of the nearest police station. Police are of not much help in such situations. I have attended a lot of self defense classes but it takes a long time to develop the skill and proficiency. And with the adrenaline rush I tend to break more of my own fingers than that of the goons' bones. After careful thought i now have a flat iron rod which I can swish around like a sword - permanently near my driving seat. Thankfully no one has even as much as given me the stare after that. For you I suggest you go for a gun license and carry a firearm all the time. The only good goon is a dead goon.

For a long term solution, think before you vote. Lukhman
