2long Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 It would be interesting to see how the same driver reacted if a motorcyclist accidentally 'touched' his car and gave a wai to say sorry. It's wrong to punch another person's car. And it's silly to be drunk out alone at night... but we've all been there. They should both put it down to experience. Far too many of these cowardly Somchais keep weapons in the boot for times like this... and it's WRONG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
