So, joining a roundabout when it was clear, started go go all the way round when a car refused to stop at the next entry road and missed me by about 5mm, by eventually screeching to a stop. I carry on and join the SZR....Next thing I know, said car (gold Patrol, Safari type with jet black windows) screams up beside me, then locks all 4 wheels in a cloud of smoke, before swerving in front of the car in front of me. I pull into the hard shoulder as he does.
Local fella gets out and grabs a cane out of the back and comes towards me. I get out, quite frankly to knock him out if that stick comes anywhere near me. However, he was about 20-25, 6 stone fully wet, and clearly wasn't very bright. His English consisted of "My Way" repeated over and over again. He was aso frothing from the mouth. I pointed at the stick and asked him what he intended to do with it..."Beat you badly" was his response. I mean, this stick was like a bamboo cane.....my 2 year old would I flict more damage.
Just then my phone rang and I picked it up. I told him to wait for a minute as I fully intended to react to this guy....he deserved it....however whilst on the phone he seemed to have a change of heart and sped off in a cloud of smoke.

I suspect this guy has these issues daily/weekly....just hope someone takes him off the road before he hurts someone. I got his plate number but not the prefix...worth reporting or more trouble than it's worth?

Had that a few times with locals round a bouts and cutting in with traffic.

They get rangy and pull up beside you so just laugh at them

Happens to fried and the passenger was videoing think he was hoping to catch the expat giving the finger on camera so be careful with reactions

Do you not keep your stick on the back seat ready to break out in a dance when the need arises?!

Ah yes, the Groovy Ayalla dance.

I've always thought that a country's National Dance is a good indicator of said country's psyche.

UAE - Ayalla - Nothing ever happens, same old droney bks, extraordinarily dull and lacking in any imagination.

UK - Morris Dancing - extraordinarily daft, involves violence and hitting things, animal parts and takes place in a pub car park.

See!?
