    I'd like some feed back on the following. Yesterday afternoon whilst driving in my cage, i was travelling along minding my own business, when another cage cut me off...nothing unusual about that...until he got another 500 metres (yards) up the road and found the lane not to his liking and cut me off where i had to take evasive action to miss him...I blasted the horn, to be greeted with the magic finger out the back window of his pickup. Unluckily for him we turned into the same complex, so i followed him...Got out when he parked and gave him some attitude. Didn't threaten him or push him up against his pickup...he screamed to look at his indicators...saying they worked..I said I didn;'t care if they did..how about some friggin road courtesy...! I walked back to my Cage..when I saw his buddy, writing down my rego...So I yelled the names Jones..you soft on !!! JONES got that! I then drove off...

    Not sure how the law down under works but here in our increasingly wimpy and over liberal society you can be hit with making terroristic threats. Sucks for sure. I would probably done the same though...

    Helmet cams can be mounted in cages too. The "finger" is an aggressive act here in Ohio. I've been seriously considering installing a dash camera in my truck. I rarely "drive" anywhere. I'd just as soon stay home when not on my bike. But I am thinking of doing a bit of writing based on what my dash cam comes up with. Hell, I've GOT to do something. I'm just so damn crotchity (?) about the way people drive I'm about ready to explode. Plus, I may have become a bit too critical at times............Nah......forget that.
    Peace

    thanks everyone...I have been sitting here kinda waiting for the cops to show up at my door. Road Rage is an offence down here. Which seems kinda strange, cause what kind of act starts the incident.

    Jonesy...I seriously doubt this clown has the Kohones to do anything more than "act" like he might. He was prolly too busy wonderin' where he could get a "dry" pair of pants...lol. You showed remarkable restraint, given the circumstances. But...be careful out there, huh. More than one person has become a "victim" of these psychopaths, just by approaching them, in just such a way.
    People are getting seriously crazy out there, and you never know which one of 'em's gonna "pull" on you, anymore.

    And for us women, I can tell you, there ain't much WE can do, except PULL ON THEM!
    But...that ain't worth, goin' to jail for. Just sayin'...

    Ride Free

    Maybe he'll think before switching lanes next time. Perhaps you got through somewhat to him? Those kind of peeps will wind up hurting, or killing someone, on the highways.
