Watched a guy behind me once with a cell in one hand and eating an apple with the other while "kind of" steering with his knuckles!

Person on the other end must have LOVED the sounds coming out in HIS/HER ear!!

what if it was one of those pre-recorded phone sex lines?

coming home from work last night (2:30am) some genius put their VT head-on into a massive pole, anyone who knows bendigo it was the intersection of the shamrock. The first pole as you're turning left towards myer in the middle of the road.
I still have no idea as to how they did it or which direction they were coming from as it was as if they were going straight past the shamrock towards the fountain "but how did they manage to hit the pole ?!?!?!"

Saw a taxi driver get shunted through an intersection on Thursday ... idiot decided to cut-off a semi ... nearing a set of lights .. lights change to amber ... he stomps on the brakes. Poor truck driver had nowhere to go. Except give the taxi driver a decent love tap.

Taxi driver gets out and goes off at the truck driver for hitting him. I had stopped at the lights anyway cos they were red. So i got out and went to the truck driver (the taxi was partially blocking my section of the intersection anyway.

Let the truck driver know that I saw what happened and if he needed me as a witness it was no issue ... he was calm about it (he only has one damaged driving light and some lights scratches on his bullbar) .... tax on the otherhand was a right-off (buckled roof ... yeah he got clobbered).

Now ... the turbine-charged taxi driver starts having a go at me for backing up the truck driver's story ... I just told him that he needs to go back and actually learn how to drive before putting passengers in danger. He got all heated up and started blabbering jibberish at me (it wasn't English anyway). Truck driver told the guy to go and stand on the side of the road and wait for the cops.

WELL ... he went off his tree at the mention of cops .... goes back to his taxi and manages to reef his boot lid open (It was mangled) and get a small pole out the back and started to head towards us with it.

Um ... I hate confrontation and started heading back to the ute ... truck driver walks up to him ... grabs the pole as it was swung at him .... and thumped the taxi driver in the face ... knocking him out cold.

By this time the towie had rockedup and witnessed it as well and cops just arrived on the scene ... cops let me go after I gave them my details and the taxi was dragged away. I just them know why the taxi driver was on the ground and they were cool with it all.

I am waiting for a call though if i am needed in court ... but i doubt it will go that far ... but you never know.

All in all ... was an interesting day.

HaHa well being a truckie myself for 10 odd yrs its a breath of fresh air to hear a story like this!

Unfortunatly this kind of thing happens everyday and its great to hear he belted that turkey with the bar! If not for threatening with it but for the dumb act in the first place thun having the audacity to blame the truck driver!!

Don't you mean TURBAN-charged!! He was probably unlicensed and illegal immigrant an that's why he panicked when cops were mentioned.

I watched a classic moron in action the day before the 1st Test at the Gabba.Coming down Stanley street about to turn left onto Ipswich rd but outbound traffic on Ipswich rd began moving.Inbound was still stopped as outbound had green turning arrow.So I'm sitting there not taking to much notice of outbound traffic when I hear this almighty roar.Look to my right and this complete idiot is lighting up a black Skyline in morning peak hour.Girl beside him in the 3 lanes of traffic pulled off to side as he sarted to go sideways.3 lanes of traffic still stationary heading inbound all had a great view of this moron as he pulled next gear,3rd I think and the rear end of the Japper just kept coming around.With all this morons hopeless driving ability he just kept his foot into it and it swapped ends and started heading for inbound lanes.Pretty smart this guy as he had completely lost it but still kept his foot into it going backwards into the inbound traffic with rear wheels still spinning and wiping out a poor guy with his family in a Rav4.He hit the Rav that hard that it pushed it into the car in the next lane over and then hit the car behind.Extremely lucky for all concerned that inbound traffic was still stopped or could of been a lot worse outcome.Lucky it wasn't a guy sitting on a motorbike or he would of been dead.This was one of the most pathetic pieces of driving I have ever seen and the loser had absolutely no idea on how to control the car but just kept his foot into it untill he smashed.Plenty of witnesses so hopefully the cops threw the book at this moron.

Well and truly blew him off, so what does he do? That's right speeds up to my bumper again.

I just turned on my lights on so he thought I was braking and let go of the accelerator, gave him the finger and he turned off.

******* moron! If he had of hit me I would've belted him. Any dude driving one of them has to be a ***** anyway.

It wasn't gunmetal/dark grey was it? I had that coloured renault do the same thing to me!

Not to generalise too much, but has anyone else found that P plated females in small cars are the most aggressive drivers on the road?

Sorry .... yeah I meant to type it using that spelling ... as that is what I was portraying ...

The truck driver was just defending himself really ... neutralising the threat I guess you could say. I guess it was a case of he was forced to use a bit of force to defend himself.

Ballarat have a bad case of sticking their finger up at you when they have done wrong. I was almost 80% around the roundabout when this VZ Wagon pulls into it, she hits the brakes so do I, then She starts hurling abuse at me and stuck her finger up at me, I should of ploughed into her, its not like there was 30 other cars at the roundabout.

But ballarat have a real common habbit of "never being at fault"
