good thing this guy didn't have a gun..

Maybe if he thought YOU had a gun, the situation might not have happened. But since you live in the Peoples Republic of California, you can't legally carry, even in your car. An armed society is a polite society.

wonder if they make a gun rack for a Z?

Matt,

Top marks to you for admitting you were wrong. Some people wouldn't want to "Lose Face".

"If only I could have reached my tyre iron" ............

Yair mate, ....... he could have grabbed it off you and hit you with IT !!!!!!!!!!!

Guns ???????????

Yair mate, ...... you could just simply blow him away. Then spend the rest of your life in prison.

The only people I know who talk about using a gun are those who have never seen someone get blown away. Very few of my mates even own a firearm. They're the sane ones.

Rick.

Here’s one here from the Washington DC area this past week. VDOT (Virginia Dept of Trans) had just remarked one of the many 4 lane roads around here so that both lanes on my side now went straight. Prior to this change the left lane was for a left turn only. Naturally obeying the new road signs I am in the new lane that goes straight and when the light turn green Off I go. Next to me in the right hand lane is our jerk!!!!, who immediately cut me off and gives me the one finger salute telling me that I can’t go straight from the lane I am in. You all know the type, the one that thinks he is god’s gift to the roads and can do no wrong. I being an old fart, I ignored him and pulled around him (60 plus in a 35). Apparently my ignoring and passing him set him off again and he started tailgating me and trying to run me off the road. At the next light he pulled up and was saying various things about my mother, what he wanted to do to me and other things that irate people are known to do at street lights. This time I return his salute and turn left. He cut off the person behind me and followed. Now the fun begins. Looking down the road I see about a ¼ mile ahead one of the local Police pulled in at a 7-11 giving a ticket (Unmarked car.) So I pulled into the 7-11 and park next the unmarked cop car. God bless stupid people, this jerk comes screeching in behind me and skids to a stop blocking me in and the cop Jumps out of his car with a bat and is screaming at the top of his voice that he was gona kick my @%^. Smiling, I point to the officer that now has his gun pulled out and pointed at him and quietly asked him to repeat the statement that he had just made. Need less to say the person in question got a very large ticket and was lucky that he was not hauled away. The Original person getting the ticket was let go with a warning and I was asked if I would like to press charges. I grinned at the cop and said I think that he had had enough fun for the day and I declined. As a parting shot at stupid I informed him about the Change in road signs and street markings which the cop confirmed and that he should pay more attention to what was going around outside the car then to what ever he was doing inside the car.

(A possible Moral to this story is: once in a while a cop really is where one should be when you need one)

Just to add my fun story of idiot drivers, I was hauling a trailer with my camo Blazer, the night before we had a record rain and there were places that water still came on to the road. This ye-ha in a shiny new black Blazer was trying to hop a ride on the trailer I think, he was that close. Well of course there is a large puddle covering my lane on the 2 lane highway and a semi coming towards me so no going around it, knowing I could track through it I went on and Mr. black blazer gets a bath. Needless to say the single finger salute comes out the drivers window, like it's my fault he's following so close but I just keep driving on, him even closer than before, he must have had a learning disability... We get to town and I take the right turn lane figuring this guy is going to blow me a major amount of you know what and things could turn ugly.... well for some reason, even though he was going straight and had no one in front of him he stayed back next to the trailer in the straight lane and didn't move till I pulled forward and turned right at the green light....

I mentioned it to a friend and he said, "Well hell yes, that guy probably figured that life as he knew it was coming to an end, what idiot would flip off some redneck in a camo Blazer, any idiot could imagine what that redneck has under the seat!" And my buddy is right, except it isn't under the seat, it's in the console, good old Sam Colt, and my favorite year 1911....

But I must admit, being that I comute 80 miles a day round trip that my favorite tactic for the incessant tailgater is a slowdown and a right turn signal, only adds a few seconds to my drive and gets them off my butt... I usually catch up to them at the next light 10 miles down the road with a smile on my face

Glad to hear that you are OK Jason, drive safe and watch for idiots, they are EVERYWHERE!!!
