And for those that say he jumped up and landed on the hood I suggest they try running backwards fast enough to leap over the hood to hit windshield hard enough to break it. Its made to withstand impact even Arnold Swasenager couldn't punch thru a windshield. It was explained they used a hydraulic arm in the movie. Plus I have seen vids of guys doing the jump on hood scam they don;t get hit hard enough to break windshield or somersault over the roof of the car like the Thai guy did.

isitworthit Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 What we need is both guys charged for same offense. Its just becoming a circus clearly it shows attack on car swing at the guy. Funny how no one as footage of the Thai guy throwing a punch at the Brit. They are both as bad as each other I still think the passenger in Thai car had more to do with his response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clashpie Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 To a degree both parties concerned are responsible for what happened but I feel the Brit just lost it completely and went way over the top when he got the machete out of his motor and then tried to run the guy down! Thai bloke was in the wrong by striking the Brit in front of the cops...(but who could blame him)? Two idiots who should be banned from driving at least if not more!

Well not so much blame him, as hold him legally responsible. There is no defense, as he was fully engaged in the road rage incident, and looks like the initiator because of his dangerous driving. Any mitigation evaporated when he assualted the nut with a particularly vicious punch, and then showed intent to add more. Sorry, but provocation cuts no ice under these circumstances. Let me add that they are both as bad as each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have noticed he got out of his car while the Brit was waving his machete around. Was he stupid or just didn't perceive a major threat? The machete was for show (intimidation) IMO. He may have damaged the car with it, but had no intentions to kill anyone with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He basically copied the concept of 15 minutes of fame from the Harley Lyrics which were written in 1325, the original phrase being, a nine days' wonder.
