I was involved in an incident of road rage once ....I was at stationary at traffic lights , I had a cyclist ? you know the type thought he was on the Tour de France go past me at about 25 mph ( lights were red !! ) misjudged it clipped my drivers door with his pedal and smashed the door mirror off the door ( over £1000 damage ) he rode off through the light off down the road. Anyway I drove after him , overtook him got out and stood in the road to get him to stop as I wanted his details / call plod ?? But he didn't want to stop and rode at me I wasn't going to move and he banged into my shoulder, fell off and broke his collarbone. Anyway outcome was I got arrested , charged with GBH without intent , plod said I should have let him ride off and call them to report it and they'd have dealt with it , maybe they could have tracked him from his non existent reg no or licence :\
Anyway for my first ever offence at the young age of 40 and an employed father of 2 the judge decided I was a menace to society and took me off the streets for 3months and then when I got out the cyclist tried to sue me for damages to the tune of 40k :eek luckily I had a sensible judge for that hearing.
