I can assure you that if I had come after you after you put a boot or pedal into my door. It would be you on the recieving end of police action.
Road Rage is not accepted in the UK, and after placing people under citizens arrest in the past I already know the drill. You will PAY for your actions sooner or later.
You had a lucky break with the car impounding... take on someone with some sense and you'll soon regret it.
Just because it hasnt happened to you yet, doesnt mean it wont, you are in effect playing with not only your life (if a driver loses his temper and flattens you, sure his car will be impounded but you could very well be dead.. Woo but you won right?! :roll
but your livelyhood (if a driver has more sense than to beat you up but rather hold you and place you under arrest for criminal damage then you'll be facing criminal charges in court and could very well end up with a fine, record, and jail sentence).
Road Rage is stupid, you dont condone following someone in a car then getting out and laying into their vehicle if they beep you at the lights, or cut you up... yet you condone exactly that if your riding a bike?!
Its madness.
