I rode my motorcycle into a cyclist once. He was new on the road, didn't know how to judge distances properly and pulled out of a side road in front of me. I slowed down and if I'm honest, I could have avoided him completely but I decided to deliberately bump him off his bike and dump him on his arse in the middle of the road to teach him a lesson. If I wasn't such an experienced motorcyclist, I'd've hit him a lot fucking harder. Except I did make the choice to hit him at all.
(^^^^ this is irony, by the way)
That's the same mentality black cabs use to excuse knocking us off our bikes. From a moral perspective that drags you down with the slugs, snails and pondweed of cabbiedom.
Secretly though, I still think it's kinda cool twatting up a super-car. ;-) And I do agree that some lesson has been taught. But he might've taken it in better if you'd been calm and rational. People who have fucked up do better with excusing themselves when they have been given a mouthful of abuse. It leaves them feeling aggreived, which they use to mask their guilt. When you remain calm, all they are left with is that guilt.
And you know the Lambo driver has a tiny penis too, so you should feel sorry for him.
Mind, that said, I am the hottest-headed nutter at times - especially when my blood is in full flow mid-ride, so I am no one to talk about remaining calm when stuff kicks off. This post is a definite "do as I say, not as I do"... slaps own wrists for hypocracy
