Heading home a little while ago, I was nearly hit by a moron who wasn't satisfied of the near miss, but had the audacity to stop the car, get out and threaten me with a small baton or night-stick.

On my route home, I ride on a small one lane per direction avenue in a densely populated area. Coming up to a point where another moron had illegal parked, I maneuvered to the left side of the lane to avoid the door zone (up to now, I was taking the lane). The moron in the car behind me decided to overtake me by crossing the double line into oncoming traffic missing me by less than an inch.

After overtaking me in an extreme show of stupidity, he had his hand out the window waving and was shouting profanity, and when I sounded my air-horn he immediately broke to a stop and jumped out holding something like a baton or night stick while walking towards me. Fortunately a couple of the local shop owners had seen what happened and were already headed towards the moron who about-faced, jumped into the car and fled the scene.

I called the police explaining what had happened and gave a accurate description of the car, license plate and the moron, and was told that they couldn't really do anything since there were no injuries and that I can pass anytime within the next two days to file a report so I can formally sue the guy for dangerous driving... and that I shouldn't forget to have €100 on me for the fees need for processing the said report.

...go figure!
