You're buttuming that the victim of your tirade realised before he drove on your inside that you needed two lanes to turn left. What was initially a mistake or a bit of poor driving on his part was turned into a potentially life-threatening act by you. The other driver was wrong in retaliating in the only way he could, using his car to block your progress, but you appear to have taken his behaviour as a personal affront, which you have escalated to a full-blown buttault. This is a clbuttic sign of someone in need of therapy before they should be allowed back on the road.
Quite frankly, do you blame him? If I were confronted with a trucker who's just tried to run me off the road and kill me, I would rather get out of there sharpish. If he had hung around, he's almost as suicidal as you.
But you didn't. You called him a paki 1, which is a specifically racist epithet. We're all capable of being or becoming fat or bald, so it's not an attempt to stereotype a person's behaviour based on their outward appearance.
I've no doubt he did (hopefully after stopping at the nearest police station with your registration and description). He and his family and friends will now have reinforced their prejudices of white people as violent, aggressive racists. This doesn't make it right, and you have fanned those flames of extremism just that little bit more.
One less nutter.... 1015Well I won't comment on this case as we don't know the facts, however I do wonder why some motorbikes seem addicted to "filtering". I came in...
1 Paki has been for many years a term of abuse for anyone of a Southern Asian appearance (whether their roots are from Pakistan or not), including Bengalis who fought a war of independence against Pakistan. I wasn't aware that 'Scot' was a similar term of abuse.
