In general road traffic law-breaking terms though, wouldn't this be a
case of "a person or persons who reside a domicile constructed of
silica-based panels should refrain from using naturally-occurring
mineral objects as manually-launched projectile weapons"?

 

Exactly.

 

It's funny how Des's biking career mirrors his Usenet one so
closely...

 

Coming back for some European touring on the FJ12, I was queuing in a
slow moving lane for immigration control at Dover when an ***hole in a
vehicle next to me realised he was in the wrong lane and moved over into
my space.
First thing I knew was when his passenger window hit my 'bar end'. I
banged on his window and got the 'stare straight ahead' response as he
continued to move over hitting bar end and boxes.
With a balled fist and winter weight gloves on I managed to put three or
four large dents in his roof with out causing myself any harm.
He pulled back in to his lane and drove to the front of the queue and
cut in. He must have looked upset because when I got to drive through
C&E they were taking his car apart.

 

I'm coming back from Norwich toward King's Lynn on Sunday, I'm on a dual
carriageway bit doing 70 in the outside lane of traffic, a few mph
faster than the inside lane in the car.
I'm driving into a setting Sun on a cloudless day. For a moment my
perspective of the road around me became confused:
The road appeared to be getting narrower.
The white line dividing the lanes had disappeared.
It was the guy in the car at my 10oc position, he was slowly pulling out
towards me looking intently into his drivers door mirror oblivious of my
presence.

I pulled over hard as far as I could go and brake but not too hard as
there is a car too close behind me. The guy wanders half into my lane
and then seeing I'm there wanders back again.

That got the old blood pumper working faster.

 

Got home, phoned plod; disinterested sounding copper took the reg no but

Officially It has to be recorded does it not ?

You have to think of the consequences. Nutter drivers with no
insurance or a stolen car, Pissed, Drugged carrying weapons.

It's just not worth it, however angry you are. IMO.

I have had to stop my bike and calm down after (unprovoked) attempts
to knock me off.

Hello.
