City of Birmingham
I was driving through Birmingham last weekend and it seems like the traffic problem is getting worse. Drivers are getting more and more worked up. I am a pretty calm driver myself but it incensed me when this idiot in an open top MG sports car swerved right in front of me in an effort to change lanes and almost took the front of my car off.
I reacted the same way most people would and beeped my horn at the rogue several times. What I didn't expect was him to stop right in the middle of the busy carriageway and leap out of the car and walk menacingly towards me. He was a big ugly looking brute and I had nowhere to go. I couldnt reverse or move forward. I think he was just trying to impress the blonde bimbo passenger he had with him. Whatever the reason I knew what was coming when he started swearing and shouting and rolling his sleeves up as he walked towards my car. I braced myself and tried to put on a brave face and waited for the inevitible.
What came next was totally unexpected. I heard a screech of brakes and a motorcyle out of control flashed past my window and knocked the guy clean out of the road and I watched in horror as he landed on a crumpled heap on his car bonnet. I then saw the biker get up, look at his damaged motorbike and start to lay into the guy as he lay stunned on his crumpled car bonnet. Absolutely friggin amazing. By now the traffic had started to move so I drove round the bike which lay on the carriageway and passed the two of them. I couldnt resist a V sign and the words asshole as I watched his face while he was pleading with this monster of a biker who had been travelling in between the lanes and was annoyed that this prick was walking in the middle of the road and had caused him to have an accident.
Last weekend was a good day. Talk about poetic justice!
