Subject: WOTY

I had a similar experience to the scenario you mentioned with people stopping in front of you at the last possible second.

I drive a Bus and I was stopped at a set of lights in the right hand lane-the left lane ended at the lights and became street parking for a shopping strip. Wanker in the left lane floors it away from the lights and blind sides me, pulled across the front of me and props to make a right hand turn!

I locked up and the only place I could go was around the right hand side of him into oncoming traffic, luckily they read the situation and hung right back. I pulled up level with said wanker, blew the horn at him to get his attention and shook my fist at him to let him know I wasnt all that impressed with him, got back on my side of the road and kept on going.

Next set of lights, guess who's beside me and getting out of his car, yep you guessed it, Noddy in his little red car. He comes at me with his fists up, so I got out and fronted him. As he got closer I told him to back off, which he ignored and kept coming.I put my open palms on his chest and pushed him away.

Well, didn't boy wonder have a change of attitude then. He got all sooky, and got in his car and pissed off. Unbeknownst to me to the nearest Cop shop to have ME for assault.

Guess what, it went to court, and I got 2 months jail for "Road Rage", 'cos the Magistrate reckoned I instigated it by Bipping my horn and shaking my fist at him. Lucky I didnt give him the finger or I'd have got 2 years I guess.

My nomination for WOTY is a split decision between the Cocksnot Gobbler and the Beak.
