    i had an incident on the freeway the other day, the guy had his wife and small kids in the car and he proceeded to throw a waterbottle at me at 80km/h! Because i was going the speed limit!

    now i always carry a 8v camshaft with me. Just in case

    Some people are nutters!
    There were called 'Persuasion bars' down here at one point haha.

    I once coped a whole heap of abuse through the window, after he opened my door and told me to get out i speed off, the guy chased me down in his car, pulled up beside me and try to push me into a embankment.
    got out of it fine. Funny enough was he did it in a company car. Im sure he was really popular when the cops came knocking on his bosses door the next day.

    For the record i/my friends, did nothing to him to provoke it.

    presumedly the camshaft is to hit the waterbottle for six?

    Bloody australians
    Six months driving round europe and never saw any violence anywhere, ever.

    Coming back to this aggressive culture is depressing.

    More needs to be done in the cummunity to remind these retards that this kind of crap is not on. Anywhere. Anytime.

    If you report these ignorant people to the police, will they do anything? Or pressing charges or something, surely?!
