Reason I ask is I generally avoid all conflicts on the road, waste of time and pathetic IMO, however about 1yr back things got to a point where I became almost as bad as the driver and sought revenge.
My bike was off the road and had borrowed a m8s moped to ride to work, but still wore full leathers / body armor.
Was commuting to work and was cut up by a guy in a rolls royce, livid at my near death experience he got the finger then I pulled into petrol station ahead. Just about to fill up with juice i'm pulled away from bike and slammed against pump, turning around it's some short fat business man that has jumped out of the roller and now offering to 'have me'
He yells 'take that helmet off and I'll have you' slamming me again into the pump.. his wife was in tears pleading him to get back in.
Eventually he obeys his wife and leaves me and drives away....
I was seeing red by this time, I finished at the station and resumed to work.. shaking with shock and anger at what had just happened. A mile up the road the traffic backed up to the usual long queue and there he his. I just had to have some kind of revenge..
Speeding up the outside I accidently stretch my arm out and punched his wing mirror... as I speed away I can hear the sound of shattered glass and picture a fat, balding businessman fuming and going red with rage behind me.
The pain in my arm felt good...
Guess the moral of this story is don't mess with a dude on a moped if you are unsure he has full CE body armor, you cannot win. Am I as guilty of road rage as him ?
