Will try to keep as short as possible.
I live 2 driveways past lights at a fairly major intersection.Hard to get in and out of ,particularly if I am leaving a red to green light I may have been sitting at. Looks a little strange to those behind when I dab the brakes a few times, indicate on and off a couple of times and gesticulate that I am turning straight after the lights....works fine most times though, most seem to get the idea or at least maybe think I'm possibly a little nutty and give me leeway. So I'm coming home last week, up the main road towards the lights, I've got some socially challenged, teen(?) bogan up my clacker for a mile and a half, doing everything possible to get past me. (Here's the picture...cap on backwards, doof doof doof coming from the boot, 20 inches of tacky bling on the purple(chameleon),white body kitted,VP/VS?, with 5!!! P plates on the dash). He's behind me at the lights and I go through the routine with him, lights turn green, slowly out across the intersection blinkers on dabbing the brake...have to swing a little wide to make the driveway and the next thing I know I've got said bogan nearly in the passenger seat, screaming abuse ,flicking middle fingers and blasting some ridiculous noise from the air horns!! He had tried coming up the inside of me as I was turning right into my drive!! He's a local and I see him often drive past.. alway offers me the same middle finger and abuse. I've beckoned for him to "pop in for a chat and a cup of tea" a few times but he seems to be always in a rush to get past my place. Anyways....I'm coming home today ,get stuck in a bit of traffic...get to the front of the line and couldn't believe it when I see old mate trying to decide which end of his (literally) crumpledore he wanted to shed tears over!!! Appears that he had been travelling way too close to the young girl in front of him who actually thought you need to stop at a red light, he has run up her rear..AND.. had the bloke behind(also obviously travelling a little too close),run right up his behind. I was nearly wetting myself as I drove past, but composed myself enough to do a u(ee), and come back to offer any asistance to the young girl. I had no intention of saying anything to the young bloke, but he seemed to be pretty pre-occupied with something inside his car, 'cause he didn't come out all the time I was there!! Postscript was that the young girl was not injured, she had full insurance and wasn't overly upset about anything, nor was the bloke at the rear of it all, just have a lovely vision of old mate screaming and throwing things around(now out of his car) as I was driving away  Anyhow, back to the title of the post...for all here who want to get even for carpark bingles, road rage complaints ,or all the other things we seem to get so steamed up about...remember, karma works, stay cool.

What gets me is your saying a VP/ VS with chameleon paint job. That paint job alone would be worth more than the car. I really can't figure people that buy a cheap car and spend a fortune to do it up when its never really going to be worth much more than you paid for it yourself.

I didn't even like having one P plate up, why would you bother buying multiple P plates to put on your dash!? I had a good laugh at this one, reminds me of a few P platers I know haha.

The young bloke is just a self-obsessed, generation Y peckerhead.
All we can do is hope he learned a valuable lesson today To keep a safe distance from the car in front, and that there is nothing quite like a crumpled VN-R Holden Commodore.

Literally a Crumpledoor!!!
To me thats not karma, thats being illogical and paying for it. Especially the fact that he didnt have ABS, big difference in stopping difference especially for such a heavy car. But dont mind me. Good to hear justice has been served

I love when Karma comes together.
Though Karma comes in all shapes and forms. Was watching the weather in the US, via weather.com. Came across this great Karma vid. Somewhat car related. http://www.weather.com/outlook/video...b=931119350243 |

I had a similar situation when I first moved to Adelaide.
I lived on a fairly busy main road in a home unit and the driveway had a stobie pole( telegraph pole for you eastern staters) situated very close to the left hand side of the driveway, which necessitated turning into the driveway at a wider angle, because if the angle was to shallow you had a good chance of scraping the left hand rear quarter panel on the pole. The amount of abuse, arm waving, horn blowing and the 'bird' from impatient nit-wits was astonishing. One bloke did it to me twice in one week, and the second time he did it I did a quick turn around in the driveway and managed to catch up with him in traffic. I followed him for a bit and he turned into a side street and a few houses up he put his indicator on to turn into a drive way so I immediately pulled up right to his rear bumper and did the horn blowing, shouting, bird routine. Don't think he appreciated it much  I know it was very childish of me, but damn, it felt good
