ok guys maybe its just movies but reading your posts, i wondered whethere you have ever thought that instead of spitting on your car or braking in front of you the guy may just pull out a gun and shoot you or your car???
ok i know that you cant carry guns in the car, etc all that s*** but there are sociopaths who obey their own laws.
just to add that this is not a movie stuff...i read an article sometime ago, how in the midday guy shot the other one just because that one raced him from the street lights and won, then the killer sat in his car and drove away...
i know LA isnt like a moscow city but still...
as far as for my attitude on the roads...i never try to enrage people on the road or teach them a lesson, however harmless they look and whatever car they drive...if they are chasing you why dont you let them through? is it a sign of weakness? more like a sign of a more intense brain activity being present in your head than in his.
now, to realize what are the possible consequences of a little race or unfriendly behaviour...would you try to kick someone off the road in your m5? unthinkable, out of line, isnt it?
well if it is unthinkable for you then it doesnt mean that it is so for everyone else on the road...so basically what im saying is that dont rely on other people's common sense when driving and expect everything...do you really think that he cares if he puts a dent on his rusted out truck...oh yes he does if he put a dent on your m5 too.
one of the samurai laws states that when exiting your house behave yourself in the streets as you would if you were on an enemy territory...that may be taking it a bit too far, but certainly there is some truth to this saying about being alert and cautious, but not aggressive, because an aggression is a sign of weakness as you all know.
or maybe i am just paranoid and should be riding bmw tricycle these days.
and "friendly" students at my bro's college already had spat on the m5 when my father was picking him up, slapped roadster's soft top when it was up too.
just my 4 ptas at $1=200 ptas.
take care all and safe driving
