View Full Version : How Bizarre!

I was driving through Darlington yesterday afternoon. Loads of traffic. Stopped at a red light, behind a Peugeot 306. Having been at the lights for a minute or so, for some weird reason, the bloke in the Peugeot decided to go through the lights, still on red. He just managed to avoid hitting a van which had right of way.
5 seconds later the lights went green. I set off, me and my girlfriend having a bit of a laugh at this bloke. Stopped at the next set of lights, and he was still the next car in front of us. I was in a piss-take mood, so I took off my glasses and waved them in his direction, kind of indicating that he needed them as he totally ignored the red light. I could see him watching me in his rear view mirror.
I have one of those Traffic-light style air fresheners hanging from my mirror, so my girlfriend thought it would be funny to wave this at him, so I did, pointing at the red bit......
I had a feeling he was a bit psycho.......which he confirmed by getting out of his car, looking really menacing, and storming towards my car! First reaction - I reached round and hit the door pin, locking both doors, just as he was reaching out to grab my door handle on the outside. Instantly, he turned round and got back in his car and drove off. God knows what he was going to do.....! Scary b*stard! Thank god I was thinking quickly!
This was probably down to me taking the piss out of him, but it's the first bit of road-rage I've experienced in a long time.....maybe I shouldn't have wound him up, but it was too good not to!
Anyway, he drove off and went a different route to me.
Then, driving down the A1 15 minutes later, doing about 80, I got overtaken by a HEARSE!!! I saw it a fair way back in my mirror, wasn't sure it was a hearse at first, so kept an eye on it. If f**king flew past me! It was empty......thank god..... but I've never been overtaken by a hearse on the A1!
What a bizarre afternoon of motoring madness!

i get that sort of thing all day long i live for it. its funny when someones up your arse just slow down to 15mph put your hazards on and then when they try and overtake floor it. yeh its dangerous but they have no right to be up your arse.

What's the piont of giving it all that if you carn't follow it through. One day you will pick on the wrong guy and you will end up getting stabbed or shot or something like that. At the end of the day let these wankers on the road do what they want yeh if they hit your car then you have the right to do something about it!!!!

All i'm saying is if you think you have a chance don't fucking lock your doors like a fucking fag. You wouldn't see me backing down to no twat after i'd lashed him in the first place. I'm no pusssy as i lot off road users have found out but i'm trying hard to contain my feelings towards other road users because off a lot of things you hear about nowadays!!

haha. Thats quite funny.
To be fair, i would have probably taken the piss out of him and gotten into the same situation, and like you, locked the door too. He deserved it though, what a fruit cake.

what a fruit cake.
I remember hearing a while back (from some psychologist or other) that LOADS of people have a different personality once they get into their cars. They seem to feel much more invincible when in their cages, and act very aggresively where normally they would be quite nice people in any other circumstances.

That is very true. We learnt about all that sort of thing in psychology the other day!
Not only that, but they might have a lot of trauma in their life at that time and being wound up is just the last straw.

I'm still wondering what this bloke had in mind for me when he got out of his car and walked towards mine. Bearing in mind that there was LOTS of traffic all around............

Best thing I could have pulled on him would have been Nelly Furtado's latest album.....................actually, that'd be pretty scary - scares me how much the g/f plays it!
