Last night I had the misfortune to witness why some people should be drowned at birth!
:
I was going home last night from Penrith to St Clair via the M4 motorway, as I approached the on ramp I saw 2 cars acting like gits enter the on ramp fom Penrith Panthers side of mulgoa road (For anyone who knows the area), and from the Glenmorepark/Mulgoa area a third car entered.
As I entered the M4, I noticed that the left lane was occupied by a white VL commodore (red P plate), the middle lane by a red honda integra (red P plate) who was alongside the VL, and the third lane by the other car a riced up toyota corolla (red P plate) - seeing a pattern here!
Anyway the toyota was about 200m in front of the other 2 cars and I pulled out into the 3rd lane to pass them, as I pulled out to that lane (still some 150m behind them) the integra flahed his lights a number of times. Upon this the toyota immediately hit his brakes and slowed up, ending up next to the other 2 cars. All 3 cars then slowed down to 60 kms hour line abreast across all 3 lanes. As I was behind the toyota, I was patient for about 30 second thinking that they would have their joke and move on. However they didn't so I turned on my high beams, this annoyed them.
With my high beams on I noticed that all 3 drivers were wearing the same hoddies, as were some of the passengers, the toyota driver turned his hazard lights on (WTF?) and the drove whilst giving me the finger, the passengers of the toyota also followed suit. I just kept up with the high beams which must have really annoyed them by now.
This continued until the northern road exit when a car managed to just get in front of them whilst he was merging, the guy knew something was up as he pulled away normally then slowed down, after he looked in his rear view mirror and saw the slow traffic.
Nothing he could do though. By now some other cars had caught up , but the trio were more interested in me, perhaps the high beam wasn't a good idea?
The VL moved over to box me in. This let everyone else pass on the inside lane. So I had the toyota in front of me the integra next to him and the vl next to me in the middle lane, the vl driver wasn't too please either.
Anyway they ended up getting their co-ordination wrong and I had a gap, upon seeing this I accelerated and got past the clowns, the toyota went for revenge and gave me the high beam treatment, however I have a dark (legal) tint and his high beams were weak as so I wasn;t bothered. However they tried to get in front of me again so I was forced to outrun them, I won't post my speed here for obvious reasons but I got away, it would have been easier in the Fairmont but I was in the XR6 (Au1).
The toyota then pulled off at Mamre road and the others were back in the distance, I had now missed my exit and had to go to the wallgrove road exit to get off, I had slowed back down to the leagal limit by then, however low and behold the VL decided to try to scare me by sitting on my bumper just as I reached the M7 exit, so I pulled off hoping to take them somewhere where I could lose them on the backstreets, however being poverty P platers they didn't have a tag and didn't follow me.
Now I did nothing wrong, up until they forced me to use the high beams, 60Kph on the M4 is plain dangerous, especially since they had all 3 lanes blocked, they then tried to follow and intimidate me. Lucky they all had POS cars.
This is what the hoon laws should be intended for, these guy's have no rights to hold licences, yes this does reflect badly on P platers so tough, I have now had it with them.And yes I have contacted the police as I had all 3 rego plates (I had long enought to note them down after all). I have been advised to make the complaint in person at the station after I called them this morning.
Sorry for the long post but I hate to say it the youth (I'm only 35) of today needs a good kick up the backside, in terms of their attitudes and freedoms.
I sound like my parents, I swore I would still be open to the younger generation and never think like that but, now I know better. If my son ever though about that I'd crush his car!
