Background info - my foglight switch is stuck so my fogs are on when my lights are on.
The garage who broke the switch are taking it back in soon. I've been meaning to stick electrical tape over the fogs until they're fixed, but keep forgetting (my bad).
So. On my way home from work and close to home, entered a wooded section that I know well and came up behind a black 04 plate Evo.
Within seconds he slams his brakes on from about 50mph - emergency stop style - I do the same and we both come to a complete stop (he's lucky I uprated my brakes!).
He then starts flashing his hazards and indicators and his rear foglight on and off, so I realised he was having a go cos my fogs were on. I just shrugged and he drove off after a moment, I followed as normal.
We got further down the road, in a residential area, and stopped at a red light. Sure enough, he gets out and starts screaming and shouting obscenities as he approaches my car. I wind the drivers window down to explain the fogs situation.
He was REALLY aggressive and waaaay OTT. Saying "you're a f*cking danger with your f-ing fogs on you f-ing *****" etc etc, spit coming out with his words such was his rage. When he stops to catch his breath I tell him the switch is broken, and show him the broken switch.
At that point he REACHES THROUGH MY WINDOW and starts putting my full beams, indicators etc on, all the time ranting like a mad un! Absolutely f*cking nuts! So I tell him to get the f*ck away from my car and I put the window up, he removes his arm from the window and before i can lock the doors he pulls my door open and says he's going to "f*ck me up"! Had a hold of my jacket/seatbelt at one point. Psycho!
So we have a tug-o-war with my drivers door and he eventually gives up and gets back in his Evo.
All this infront of little old ladies in their Jazzes etc, bonkers.
Just needed to vent that. I'm very surprised I stayed so calm at the time.
Black 04 plate Evo with Nurburgring sticker on the back - stay clear of this guy Aberdonians, he's a sandwich short of a picnic!
