I would just like to say that not all police are as bad as the one encountered by Badger last weekend

Something happened to me Just after 9pm last night (Tuesday) that some of you may find interesting. As usual, I was riding home after a late night lecture at university, and some lunatic decided to throw a plastic bottle filled with egg at me (why would someone go to the trouble of filling a plastic bottle with egg?).

My next port of call was the Surfers Paradise police station (Southport would have been closer, but I needed a few extra km to calm down a bit) where I reported the details. The officer who was there actually called the owner of the vehicle, while I waited, and it would seem the culprits will be brought in for questioning.

I can't quite believe that I was actually able to remain calm throughout the whole process. At first I really wanted to decapitate this guy outright, but when it happened I just calmly pulled over, got out the pen and wrote down a few details. And I didn't even rant at the police officer! Can you believe that?!

I am assured I will be kept posted on how this progresses. I am also assured that the driver will at the very least be "ticketed", and that there may be a possibility of assault charges later. Luckily, I didn't suffer any physical damage, as my helmet took the initial impact. I always thought motoring primates were a buch of "tossers", now I know for sure.
