Honest though. I fekkin' hate it when someone gobs off at you in a Car, then when you take the time to stop and walk back to theirs, they havent even got the decency to wind down the window and argue! Pathetic! Im not even a tall bloke
It IS a poor show though. There's really no need for violence like that. Ive only ever stepped up to the plate when ive been offered out. I dont threaten people like that Jeep driver did

Not quite the same but I had a very enjoyable moment going round our estate one early evening - you know that time when your lights aren't a lot of help to see the road but you need them on so that you can be seen.
There's one place that's a bit of chicane with cars parked either side, was going through there and suddenly came face to face with an oncoming car (me in a car too). We both stopped, a few feet from each other, and the driver of the other car made no move to reverse (which would have been easier for her than me).
I got out and walked towards her car, and heard her say to her passenger "Oh right, here we go! " It was wonderful to see her deflate like a popped ballon when I said "Excuse me, but did you know you haven'y got your lights on?"
Got a lot more pleasure from that than I would from swearing her!

Sounds like the Jeep driver has a serious bloody problem.
I hope the judge finds him guilty on all counts and gives him a long prison sentence.
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.

He is also accused of committing a breach of the peace by shouting and swearing and brandishing a mallet at the men, and swerving his car to prevent them overtaking him and driving into them knocking Mr Wisdom and Mr Leonard off the bike, injuring Mr Wisdom.
"Accused of this!!! & yet I understand from the quote that

he did a bit more than 'brandish' am I right?
