image14Too true too true. I had an incident on the road late yesterday afternoon, where one of the Dabberas vehicles, obviously not governed, over took me on a blind rise. The very nice man was going so fast (I was doing exactly 90km) that a large stone flew up and smashed into my windscreen. I eventually caught up to him at the gate and asked him if he knew what the rules were regarding the road. I was told to sex and travel as I am not the traffic cop and he can do what he likes. Well there is one rule for the "normal" road users that take the hour or so to the gate and another for company employees and contractors ABB (he did the same,on the way to work, 2 holes in one day). No one seems to care, the same as the taxi drivers in town. If you are white and drive considerately and within the law, you are going to get nailed for some minor indescresion. However to the rest, you can do what and when you like. Oh and don't try to follow them to take them to task. They report you to security, who report you to PRU who get you in a room, intimidate you for an hour and half, make you sign a warning book and tell you they will make sure you never be a BAD person again. Well

to them, their friends and all the rest. I now give up and will not stop to help any body on the road and will drive in the middle of the road, at 60km per hour so no &*^%$#@! arsehole can over take me!!!!!

Oh my Oh my !! worse than an indoctrination / brainwashing sesion .... is it done in a darkened room with one very bright light shining in the face and all you can see is the dark silhouette of your intimidator / brainwasher ?? if so report them to the human rights commission ...

Kaye you so right ....

to them .. and remember the wheel is round they stacking the points against them and it will hit them when the time is right and it hurts them most ...

No white light but one sitting in front of me almost touching me and in my personal space, the other standing over me. Personal hygene not too hot either, one kept his dark glasses on (7pm at night). WOuld not let me bring in a lawyer or representative. M I B. I would have thought that they had more important things to do like catching diamond theives, or something.

Butthe wheel turned, last night frove home with 8 cars behind me as I stuck to the middle of the road and drove 89km per hour!!!! Eat my dust and die......... B&E guy totally pissed off as he was behind me. Ha Ha glad glad glad. Childish I know but what the hell you are allowed to be childish once in your life hey?

Mmm methinks you pushing the wheel a bit ... they gonna get so pissed off eating your midle opf the road 89 km/hr dust that they gonna do something reckless and try overtake in the narrow space and well .. get hurt ??

Personal space invaders .. cant abide those aliens .. we got one such at a customer .. I have told boss I will not go on a customer visit there in future cos someday I'm gonna hit him ..
As far as the intimidation thing and no lawyer or represantitive went good idea would be to send a lawyers letter to the GM threatening all kinds of hell if such an incident occurs again .. might be worth the bucks spent to fire a shot over their heads ... there are after all supposed to be some kind of procedure and protocol when dealing with such incidents

I know but the limit is 90km per hour. And the B&E oke managed to push me off the road a couple of times when he was rushing to work, no lights on and no seat belt and driving like lunatic. He came behind me and over took and I got such a fright that I headed towards the desert. But I really do feel ashamed in all honesty. No &*^% that not really but I enjoyed the power trip for 20km into town 202 Never had that power before.

I did protest and how! But rules is different for some people and I was told you must lead by example, not lower yourself to "their" standards. Was put back into my little box rather quickly. Hence the 20km "power trip". Sorry.

Try to keep passenger on ready with a video camera .. as for the doing the middle of the road thing .. I do similar with the taxi drivers at times .. sometimes one just sees from his actions in rear view mirror he aggressive inconsiderate and pushy .. so then I make it my mission to subtly block and frustrate his moves to weave through the traffic .. got it down to a fine art without even looking like its deliberate ... ha ha that powers good as well and yes sometimes we must excercise it .. no need for sorry ... Lawyers letter Lawyers letter ...
