Dem bullet points [Part 1 - milder events]

I quite like the idea of using bullet point lists to make a short quick report about events of the week/day/month/hour so I'm trying this one out

Ayiyiyi. Road rage is EVIL. I'm very glad guns are illegal in this country, because there's times when I'd cheerfully shoot out the tyres of every sodding 4x4 that tailgates me, its halogen headlights blinding me even with the mirrors turned away.
I can only suppose that the drivers are too fucking stupid to realise how close they are, and how aggressive they appear to the poor blinded driver in front. I must say, I find the car observing the speed limit very precisely when I get a 4x4 behind me. But in suburban London roads, that's relatively safe.

Our road rage are not as bad as the Americans, but we are sadly, catching up on the incidents. Plus, almost everyone here has to use their own car, because of a really bad(non-existent) public transport system, idiots who should have never set foot behind the wheel are driving as well.

Gotta love those road rage moments in SA :) I think we're rather unique with that... I hate those pickup truck drivers. I think they are easily a LOT worse than golf drivers. At least they aren't driving around *that* often, and prefer to just mull around like vultures by busy intersections. I think you were justified in doing what you were doing though :)

Speaking of road incidents... I nearly had an accident going to the shops today, it was green for me, red obviously for the other direction 90' to me... and I was approaching the intersection to turn left. As soon as I got there, and was turning, this golf full of black people (not being racist, just staing the facts), comes tearing (easily over 80km\h) down 14th ave straight through the red robot, and passed me by litterally 1m-0.5m... gawd damn Golfs. >:(

Needless to say, I ♥s my A.B.S. :)

Ouch, I read that. That's just plain scary.
