Travelling south on Kwinana Fwy near South St at 7.25am at around 100kph. I'm in the right lane not holding up traffic (slowly overtaking those in the left lane), and there is a long line of cars and trucks in the left lane. This idiot wants to tailgate me. After a warning flash of brake lights or two, he decides to try and overtake me to my right, with him half in the emergency lane. Gets beside me the swerves left, and I'm trapped against cars to my left!!

By now he is 5cm from my handlebars and still coming. Only one thing left to do, - a boot into his passenger door! Slowing suddenly to make him shoot past me wasn't an option, as there were lots are cars behind and I didn't want to become part of a freeway nose to tail crunch at 100kph.

When we separated (the boot worked!), he then spent the next 5 mins driving behind / beside / in front of me, talking animatedly on a mobile phone (not hands free), and taking pictures of me with a digital camera. TOOL !!

I hope he has a dent in his door (I didn't look).

Needless to say, I did a full written report at a police station immediately afterwards. I would love for his insurance company to come chasing me on this one. I left the cop shop with them agreeing to give him a visit. It is also documented officially if he does find some size 10 boot prints in his door.

As much as it now seems to be an act of bravado to stick the boot into his car, at the time it was very much a gut reaction to preserve my life and left me shaking at what could have ended up very messy for me !!
