Just got back from a totally surreal experience.

Driving out the way out of Oldham, roadworks going on, lanes are coned.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Driving smoothly along, about 25 cos of holes and grids and see the car in front dive to the left thro the cones and then a car coming head on at me, swerving to right to dodge the car, going over the
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
'shelf' of the new road scraping the belly of the car.

He then gets it back into the lane and comes head on at me.

I don't have any choice as the lane is narrowly coned so I come to a stop and he starts flashing.

Well WTF can I do? The car behind me has stopped right behind me, so I'm totally screwed.

The passenger
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
/ second joyrider gets out and starts giving me abuse.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I look back round then look at him and say
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
"well what the f*** do u want me to do?" He then gives the car behind me abuse, he's slurring, blatentely drunk and then gets back in.

This is where it takes the even nastier turn.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
He starts to back up and I realise what he wants to do, he's going to ram me.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I just calmly stare in disbelief and as he speeds toward me, I continue to be stunned.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
At the very last moment he brakes very hard, I'm surprised he didn't go into me.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Well that was it for me.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I turn round to the car behind me and start telling him to move the f*** out of the way right now.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
He just blankly stares at me! S*** s*** s*** I'm on my own.

He figures I am being honest and so starts to go through the cones to my right, and I try me best to squeeze to the left, but scrape the front on the cones.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
He then gets past me without messing my car up and then zooms off, but not before giving me the thumbs up for letting him through, looking back I should have said B***ard but instead I just shrugged my shoulders!
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I was totally stunned on this one and didn't call the Police till I got home, I didn't get their reg number cos I was more concerned with 1) getting out alive and 2) not wrecking the 2 which had just come out of the garage from a paint job and zorst fit.

Totally miffed out at the moment.

I really am totally disheartened with human nature.

That documentary on ITV last night didn't help.

P.S I now have a baseball bat in the car and I don't care if u call me a vigilante, no one was there to help me, and I doubt they would be again.
