You should try some logic/stop listening to schmucks who try and deflect criticism by labelling people. Because he owns a car? You idiot. Really in unpleasant mode this morning, aren't we?

Are you insinuating I'm listening to Gavinmac, Scobienz, AIA and your various other "enemies"? No, I think years of posting made me come to that "car" conclusion. Why does he "deserve" it, because he has an accident and crashed his car? Why should he get his car keyed, because he got in an accident? It seems to me like you're the one lacking logic here.

But, lesson learned on hot tempers, I'll follow your example next time and just punch them. Sounds reasonable.

Seriously, this does not sound like you. wtf is going on?

Exactly, he was possibly drunk. There's no mention as to how or why the accident happened. The journos do play a role here, and I appreciate their work at times (even in similar circumstances). However, I'm pretty sure I've heard you calling them animals before when they take pictures of accident victims and so on. The point is that I personally don't like having someone snapping pictures of me, and would probably flip if people did it while I was having a "bad day". I'd be willing to bet $50 you'd be the first to throw a tantrum if a photographer started getting up close and took pictures of you after you'd crashed your bike, hurt yourself, hurt someone else etc. Rightly or wrongly, it's pretty invasive and I know I wouldn't be the only one annoyed by the behaviour (that guy obviously was).

Edited in the interests of no longer giving a poop about stupid critics.

His night obviously changed when he saw a westerner driving the tuktuk. Instead of moving I locked it up and sounded the (truck) horn continuously while pointing at him. He blushed and immediately hid behind his phone. Coincidentally I then happened to be alongside him at the next three set of lights. Man, that phone was fascinating.

Doesn't hurt at all - not usually concerned about physical violence but am wary of guns when it comes to standing my ground in the traffic.
