Its a good thing you got his license plate number. Get COisman to trace it, and go over there and kick the juice out of his (cant say)(but you know what I mean) parts.
What I have noticed is that some okes drive like this all the time, not only when they are late or theres an emergency.
Another thing is, no matter how many fingers you show these okes, it doesnt sink in. They need to associate the action with a face-plant(when you plant the okes face into the ground).
I am not a fan of violence, but sometimes its what gets the point across. I will not advocate putting your life or that of your wife in danger, its just frikkin frustrating when you have to just let it go.
I hate okes trying to get in front of me where 2 lanes merge. The one day i was driving home on Bowling avenue in Sandton near Kramerville BP and had a lady in a blue Z4 some 100 metres behind me speed up and try to cut in front of me. I continued to move forward ignoring her completely till we get to that point in the street where:
1. I either let her get in front of me
2.Risk having my car scratched if she doesnt back off.
When we got to that point and she was edging forward with the traffic inch by inch trying to get in front of me. My adrenaline kicked in and I decided that there was no way I was going to let her get in front of me. Not that I am not courteous. The point was that I had right of way, her lane merged into mine, and she didnt have the decency to yield to me OR even lift her fat fingers and switch on the indicator.
To me that was too much to take, and I edged forward. Then, she sits on her hooter and looks at me in a WTF manner, as if I am doing something wrong. At which point I decided it was me or her. Eventually I didnt let her pass and she had to tail me all the way to where the street opens back up into 2 lanes. I drove slowly to show her a point.
I am not saying what I did was right (driving slowly). But sometimes, just once in a while it is good to win one over these farkin idiot drivers.
Let it be said that we seem to have more and more idiot lady drivers out on the roads now driving 4x4s, hummers, SL500 and Maseratis.
My gripe is that if you cant park the damn monstrousity, you shouldnt be driving it. Pulling out of a lane of queued cars in traffic in an SL500 isnt the same as pulling out in a Chev Spark. It takes longer as the car is bigger you nutjob! :yuck:
And use your damn turn signal knobface!! We are not all psychic, we dont know whats going on in that spaghetti brain of yours!!!! :yuck:

Hot on the heels of taxi driver Jacob Humphreys being found guilty of murdering 10 children in an accident, Transport Minister Sibusiso Ndebele has warned drivers that they will be charged with murder if it can be proven that they had "some form of intention" to cause death.
So how exactly did they prove this intention in the Humphrey's case? On Monday, the taxi driver was found guilty of murdering 10 children, killed when his taxi was hit by a train at a level crossing outside Cape Town last year.
In the end, Judge Robert Henney said he could not think of a better example of a person being able to foresee the consequences of their actions than when Humphreys zig-zagged through the level crossing after the booms had shut.
Perhaps it's not such a stretch to apply this theory to a multitude of driving situations, such as a dangerous overtaking manoeuvre - particularly on a blind rise.
Murder charges have also been brought against three motorists for running over pedestrians - Molemo ''Jub Jub'' Maarohanye and Themba Tshabalala for allegedly killing four children while drag racing and Sibusiso Langa for allegedly running down five joggers while inebriated.
Whether these charges stand up in court is another question altogether, but as with the Humphreys case they will certainly help set the legal precedent for how murder charges can be applied after a fatal accident.
The writing is on the wall though - authorities are showing every intention of getting really tough on reckless drivers who kill on our roads.
Welcoming the Humphreys verdict, Ndebele said: "Our society has degenerated to a level where some drivers continue to display a blatant disregard for human life.
"In conjunction with the ministries of police and justice, as well as the National Prosecuting Authority, we will continue to ensure that we are more aggressive in dealing with irresponsible drivers to protect our constitutionally entrenched right to life," he said.
"No mercy will be shown to any person who disobeys road rules." -IOL & Sapa
