Would it have been right to run him over?

Which lawless country are you from then? Or are you going to overegg how tough your local town is.
Not sure where Eclassy is from but I twice had to turn my vehicle into a "defensive instrument" in EL, South Africa while I lived there.ferrariF50lover said:

Sorry, this is Pistonheads. Were you looking for www.creativewriting.com? I wonder if you've posted useful advice on dealing with motoring confrontation in their 'dramatic fiction' forum...It's probably fair to say that the only time this is ever likely to turn out to be the appropriate action is in retrospect. At which point it will be too late to have done it.
If you never give the hand gestures out though, you're very unlikely ever to find yourself on the receiving end. Not impossible, but unlikely. A massive angry psychopath once kicked off with my brother and I because we were sitting in a parked car looking out of the front windscreen whilst he messed up a three point turn right in front of us. If he hadn't just gone away in the end, we could have run him over, but we'd have still have had a hard time making it sound justifiable later on.

Idiots are unpredictable. I was driving in convoy with a friend about ten years ago when someone in a green Nova pulled out of a side road, straight into his path, and (unbelievably) took offence at the emergency stop my friend had to do to avoid him. He leapt out of the car and went to my friend's open window and hit him through it. My friend sped off and then the guy stood in front of my car and it was clear he was off his nut on something - it actually took some very careful manoeuvring to get by without hitting the chap

P.S. I'm 6'2", 17 stone and did kung fu (hard core kung fu!) for 4 years so "toe to toe" I feel I could have taken him but
I just know that you are disappointed that we don't have signatures on PH.And I am pretty awed by the fact that you didn't just to common garden kungfu but hardcore. Is that similar but where you can show graphics shots of erections and penetrative sex? A bit of toe-to-toe anal?
