Still might be worth a call, anonymously from a pay phone, to the gendarme to report his erratic driving on the way to the bar...

Well the GF put it in perspective for me.

From an alternate view, i had the pleasure of rear ending this guy with absolutely no consequences. From this alternate perspective, imagine how pissed this guy is that I scuffed up his bumper, and he got no money, and no insurance info, and my crappy little jetta has no damage to it, and on top of that the whole thing happened with official police sanction after the fact.

In the grand scheme of things, his driving was terrible, and consistently bad the 2 additional times ive seen him, but in our altercation, I came out way ahead.

Yeah but you wasted a good part of your life and wasted some good karma. And you got off lightly considering the DB might have done a lot worse than jaw when you rear ended him.

Best revenge is living a good life.

The rest of this is fine as long as we just talk about it and really don't do it in real life.

The most I will ever do as for revenge is allow the DB to do themselves in when I could save them.....and they often do. Never underestimate karma.

ONe fellow here that tried to screw me out of a few thousand dollars in a business deal, did not succeed with that but did manage to screw me on another deal from the other side (long story) but it happens he did a foolhardy thing on a scaffold and is now paralyzed from the waist down.

It is way more than I would wish on anybody but he probably was owed a big bill of karma from screwing other folks besides me.

My wife does the same to me. I fear I don't thank her enough for keeping me out of trouble.

Though there was a funny story my uncle told me. Another driver cut him off badly but he was able to avoid a collision. Since his window was open he just shouted profanities in my uncle's language (without any obscene gestures). Of course the other guy was dumbfounded

Last night a lady cut us off as we were heading home. My wife was furious and invented new curse words, but she was the passenger.
