Road rage assault

[justsomeguy]

At around 10 pm on Thu night I finish my second job a delivery driver for Hell and go to visit my parents, cos it's my Dad's b'day and to meet a guest at their place.

I live in Pakuranga and was travelling to their place in Mt. Roskill. Going down Pakuranga Highway and two bastard boyracers racing each other over take me really dodgyly. Those of you who know Pakuranga Motorway know it has two 65K corners. These crazy people who can't seem to drive brake heavily for the corners in each lane. I'm in a 1988 Toyota Corolla - 1300cc piece of crap, the brakes are a joke.... so I had no choice but to just drive around them - I guess this pissed them off that a crappy Corolla could do that to their cars...

Bastards started tailgating me... However I managed to get lucky at a set of lights and put some cars between us.. That was the end I thought...Nope..

Fuckers overtaking like crazy passed the cars and pulled up along side me and swerved into me making me take evasive action....

Then started the tailgating again..... I continued my way again doing a bit of speeding to put some distance between us as I didn't feel safe stopping. However as you do I end up the 1st car stuck at a red.. They pull up behind me and one approaches the car... I take my cell phone out ready to call 111 if he tries anything..

He sticks his head in the door which I don't know why the fuck I opened... swears some shit and before I know it I'm being punched in the face... Manage to push him off and get out of the car and by this time I'm on the phone to the plod.. fucking blood everywhere - luckily it only turned out to be a busted lip and sore gums nothing broken.......

Got their fucking regoes as they drove off finished my 111 call and went to Central and reported everything.

I'm not too pissed off at the situation as "shit happens".. but I'm going to do my best to make sure this swine gets convicted and gets a police record for assault.

I've got their address details for the two cars from the Cops who got it through the regos I supplied. I just hope they weren't stolen cars and the bastards don't get away.

I'm not looking at doing anything outside the law.. just going to do my best to see that the driver of a white mazda capella rego DEB545 at 10:12 pm thu the 30th night is brought to face the consequences of his action.

Just got back from Ascot hospital...... 6 bloody hours to sort the situation.... and need to be up for work in two hours.....

Can't believe what's happening to this Country.. the whole reason my parents made the decision to come here over a decade ago was to avoid this rubbish......

Thanks for reading this rant.

Holy shit, that's mental. Hope you get some justice!

In twenty+ years of driving here in the UK I've never experienced road rage first hand, yet it seems fairly commonplace in NZ reading through some previous posts. This begs the question... is this part of some conspiracy to put my family and I off moving to NZ? Hell, if you don't want us, just say so, lol

Shit that is not on. Hope the cops do catch them.

I have been in a car once when some dick behind us jumped out of his car and started coming towards us. Best advice, lock your doors and call the cops.

In the last 6 or so years before leaving Auckland, I would see this sort of thing on a near daily basis, most of these kids are drop kicks, and need to be treated as such. Cities seem to breed it, and it's one of the inevitabilities of building a metropolis I guess.

I haven't even heard an angry horn, or seen the fingers here in Nelson, it's too smaller town and there's a big possibility you may know the person involved, so we keep it to ourselves.

And that folks is why i keep the tyre iron beside my drivers seat in the cage, some little punk is never going to get that close to my car when my family is in it.

Were these 65 km/h corners blind? I suspect they might be.
If so, someone overtaking me through there would piss me off too.

Similar thing happened to me 31 years ago, (my '64 Hillman Super Minx auto couldn't outrun their '69 Valiant..), though I talked my way out of the smack in the face.

It's getting worse, though and I do hope you get the justice you want. It is assault and should be treated as such.

Hope no-one is put off coming to NZ, it's a beautiful country with a lot of good people.

Similar thing happened to me 31 years ago, .

34 years ago at a set of lights a big hairy arm came through my window and grabbed me by the throat.....and then my even bigger mate drags him off and slams him against the body of a truck,I could see my attackers feet were off the ground.Phew,problem solved.But I deserved it,I had just run him and his family off the road.There have always been idiots on the road,and getting your own back is part of our culture.Shit,how many times do we see threats of retaliation on this site? Riders telling others to take off mirrors,kick doors in?

We have set our own standard standard....

Bastards!
Unfortunately this seems to be becoming a recurrent thread on KB.
A sign of the times, perhaps?
Hope you get some justice, there are plenty like you who don't.

Hang on, aren't you a boy racer JSG? It's just that you choose a motorbike as your weapon of choice.

Edit: Opps, just read the bit about the punch in the face. Okay they went a bit far so why didn't you go postal on them? I was doing some splitting the other day and some punk in wreck decides to tail gate me real close. I do the speed limit then get off the bike at the lights and quietly threatened the fucker with his life. My stitches come out next week.

[Indiana_Jones]

Sorry to hear that man. Some dickless pricks out there

We really should form some KB gang, with justice squads lol

Mate, he's asian, under 25 (I think) and Male. Corse he's a bloody boy racer!

[Whynot]

Bastards .... hope they get done for it

[pervert]

I'm not too pissed off at the situation as "shit happens".. but I'm going to do my best to make sure this swine gets convicted and gets a police record for assault.

Chances are anyone who does this sort of thing already has a record, and is not going to give a shit about going back to court to get a few more fines, or hours community service because they don't pay/complete the stuff anyway...

[jetboy]

fuckin bastards! I hope they get done.
