I dont even beep at people anymore unless its really dangerous. Had a guy today texting on the M4 and he ran me off into the break down lane I beeped and he wanted to pull over and fight me I just kept driving.

Completely set them off at me! Next minute we are lined up side by side on a dual carriageway and as he went to force me off the road I floored it and got up to about 180kmh, I think I did not need to go that fast to get away but you don't know who is in another car or what they may be armed with, so I got the hell outta there It's reasons like that why I now have a dash camera! get one people! Get one that can clearly ID numberplates of other cars. Trust me, it would have paid off as I could have taken the footage to police of someone trying to run me off road (but they woulda seen the GPS speed stamped on video ).But I've always had it said to me that a coward lives longer. I don't mean you are at all a coward OP, but damn it's lucky this person did not try to do anything more and you are all okay. I have ALWAYS tried to simply get away from fights/not fight at all/etc and it has paid off. I would like more discussion on dash cams on this forum, there probably already are threads about them but it would really be great if more people would spend the money on one.

But totally agree with some of the martial arts. Edited 19/02/13 10:45 AM by gsd112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thrown a punch myself, this is the first time I've been hit too. I'm glad he wasn't a stronger hitter or tried to pull me out of the car etc., could have been fatal in worst case scenario, we've all seen the one hit deaths.The result of his efforts, already swelling up after a minute. Bit of a low angle on the shot just to make it look funnier for you all Edited 19/02/13 11:00 AM by -SteveR- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to pick some dried blood out and pushed it sideways - OUCH.Shouldn't have gone in to work today, thought I was right but man was I tired by the end of the day. Taking tomorrow off instead.Good nature has served me well enough so far, no reason to change. Just need to remember to not sweat the petty stuff.
