Black 4x4 -- Lloyd's Electrical -- WTF?

[toycollector10]

Before that he's a metre off your arse...Road Rage pure and simple.

Any mofar trying to kill me and driving like that, and yes, I would make a complaint to the police.

It's bad enough people driving like morons let alone deliberately trying to harm you. F*ck that!

Any chance you nicked his car or anything?

Or you could call and ask them;

Ring them up, ask them to quote on a LARGE job, (new house, or industrial rewire, or summat) - then ring back a day later, saying you just spoke with a friend who nearly got wasted by some A-hole who works for them with a 4x4 - and if they employ pricks like that, you'd rather take your business somewhere else...

RING POLICE . RING EVERYONE TOO COMPLAIN . I WOULD no worries . sick vunts like that should be shot

[JMemonic]

Rectal cranium inversion sounds like this blokes issue, I have always found that ringing outfits like this even if it is the boss works wonders, especially if you say you saw this happening as a bystander and thought you would give them a chance to rectify their driver rather than complain to the police who you are sure would disapprove of this behaviour.

[Headbanger]

I'd go past the depot, see if you can identify him.

Then lay a complaint with the police, and with the company if he isn't the boss.

I would have followed him after the initial incident.

Hahaha, I love it!! First though I would go past and see if you can recognise who was driving as I see the company is run by 2 brothers. If it was one of them or a worker, ring the other brother, then pull the above plan so he gets all pissed of and hopefully gives the offender a good rev up about his behaviour costing the business. If you rung the offender, he would likely just keep it quiet and cover it up. Do all this besides reporting the incident to the cops.

This smacks of class... bling well earned!

A Coll Electrical van just about sodomised the Beemer at the Stanley St lights a coouple of years ago. To bad for them that I was involved in some projects and were short listing some electricians at the time - about $250k of work. The list got one shorter....

I sent an email pointing to this thread but no reply. Not so keen on ringing up, to be honest, call me a pansy

If I see him again I'll tap on his window and ask `wtf, mate?'.

Interested to see how the other thread about a guy that tried wiping me (and a few others) out will pan out; the one about the black Toyota Celica, plate # IBBAK. After observing the process there, I might go a bit further with this guy.

Note... A lot of work emails have mailsweeper that blocks emails from hotmail etc accts...So he may not have received it.

I get cut up on the pushie all the time I- usually use one of the follwoing options
1) nail them in traffic with some question they can't answer without making a fool of themselves,
2) park in such away they cannot get away,
3) just call the feds. This one is best, means you are seriously pissed. Sooner the better too. Longer you leave it, the less impact also means you are not in a confronation and they cannot use meance on you
4) I like this one - combination of 2 and 3 together concurrently. Really in your face stuff!!

It will always make them think twice ater that that they can't get away with shit. Especially if they look bad in front of lots of people.

I have no shame in this regard. There are no excuses for trying to run someone of the road...

Try sending to 'all@... or staff@... or management@... or admin@... or administration@...' Or send at to all of them. Their website also gives a number of addresses - CC them all in. Nothing like a bit of company gossip to shame the boss. I figure it must have been the boss, 'cos there's a photo of the staff on the website - and NO 4x4's in sight!

ye thats back to my idea earlier.
Do to man!
He probably won't be able to resist reading about what a twat he is once all his boyz are gigling about the incedent.

Yes, yes, I know, another whinging thread about mad cagers, but I found this one quite puzzling.

On my way to work going up Manukau Rd (I think Pah Rd, actually, not quite sure where one starts and the other ends), and I pull up to the lights. Rush hour, so there's already about 5 cars deep in each lane. I zip up to the head of the lights like normal.

I get a bit of a fright (jump in the seat) when once I get to the front, a bloke in a black 4x4 (Toyota Kruger, or Toyota something perhaps?) starts tooting the horn like crazy. He's a couple of cars back. Check the lights -- yep, they're green, what's going on? I just ignore him.

Lights go green, I take off. I'm probably doing just under 60kph (yes, I know, naughty, it's a 50kph zone, but all the traffic does that so I don't feel too evil), when screaming up behind me comes Mr 4x4. How'd he get there? Remember he was at least two cars back at the lights. I'm sitting near the middle of the lane in order to avoid some creases and tar snakes, and Mr 4x4 sees fit to sit maybe a metre behind me, flashing his lights, tooting his horn again. I indicate left and let him past -- nup, not having a ball of that, he sits level with me, pushing me more and more left until I'm centimetres away from the gutter. He keeps doing this until after very nearly colliding with a vehicle about to turn right on the opposite side of the road, he pins it and zooms past. Would've been doing 80kph, I would say. As he goes past I can hear him swearing and he pops the finger out the window.

Didn't catch the number plate (would've enjoyed phoning the police, it took a while for my heart to start again after nearly being pushed off the road), but on the back of the 4x4 was written `Lloyd's Electrical', or similar. So probably a company car, I suppose.

Now I'm no stranger to mental cagers, especially ones in company cars, but this was peculiar. Often, cager madness is a case of criminal neglect, rather than maliciousness. When it is malicious, it's because you've done something to piss them off -- drag the boy racer off from the lights, making him look shit in front of his girlfriend, for example; or perhaps failing to notice the traffic light has been green for some time. This doesn't seem to fall into either category.

Rush hour insanity? The man who ran away with his wife owned a CB250RS too?

Your theories please.

Some P freak who can't have any motorcyclists go past as he has the need to be in frount and will fly into a rage if anything else happens. These sort of people are going to allways feel justified in what they do, despite the obvious danger to others. I think the best thing to do is get well out of his way, let him go past and ignore the bullshit that is associated with this sort of thing.

I think thats what he did. I didn't read he smashed his miirior or abused him in anyway.
Doesn't mean he can't stir up some shit at work and let him and his workers know he's a twat! This is probably the type of guy thats really hard on his staff if they are caught doing this sort of stuff!
