i would have followed to the side of the car, signal the driver to follow me, stop at a safe side of the road, get out & deal with the basta** like a man. What an idiotic coward!
That reminds me an incident decades ago. My friends and I in 3 separate cars heading to beach road prata shop (friend-A leading), we noticed this 3 rides harassing other road users at a traffic junction. Upon friend-A's queue, we followed some distance behind and these 3 rides were reckless and still harassing other road users.
At the traffic junction (Rex theatre & T.K market) we were behind all 3 rides, as expevted they start again, this time friend-A gave chase and we did too. We over took them, while friend-A was next to their lead car, signal to him to pull over.... the lead car charges forward more.... there goes pedal to the metal. Along bukit timah road, this lead car cornered by our 3 cars (1 infront, 1 beside and 1 slightly behind) and slowly led to the road side. Other 2 car drove pass without stopping.
All hazard light on and everyone aligned. Friend-A was asking 'why r u harassing others including predrestians'? The driver came out shouting 'mind your own biz plus hokkien vulgarities'. I was interpretator between English and Hokkien speaking parties.
The other 2 cars later came by and stopped ahead, one came forward with Hokkien blasting and say he is a Police Officer and so forth and not. I told him, an Officeris asking for all their particulars. He declared he is from Queentown division and an Inspector, telling us to F-off... still blasting in hokkien and taking out his identity.... in return, i spoke in hokkien, u 'um pie" but he is "tua kow" and he wants ur particulars... now all is quiet while friend-A question this Police inspector... turn out to be a NS Police Officer... friend-A gave this NS Police Officer a lecture and will inform his Division watch officer about his road acts... wah and i immediately see Police Officer (NS) begging a Sir for leniency.
Sorry for short-long story but its true and brings back memories. Thanks for reading my long lame story, just pouring out memories.
Note:
1) Harassing other road users and pedrestians - would do slight swert to scare other cars with loud reving, and jerk e car forward at pedrestians walking.
2) Friend-A is an ASP in TP back then.
