I say again,sometimes you need to confront a bully..
There's right , then there's dead right .

Not that I would do it, but this is how people end up getting shot.Rich

That happens a lot less often than we think it does.And the throwing of ball bearings and spark plugs through offenders windshields by motorcyclists, as well as the kicking in of car doors, probably actually has happened over the years about once for every 10,000 times it's mentioned on the Internet ... if that.I recognize that I'm not going to fight an F450 Ford with my 600 Bandit ... but I agree with Rough Edge Racing that you're not doing the world any favors by meekly accepting bullying. If Mr. Tough Guy is sitting in his pickup at the curb and spits on you in the parking lot, does that pass? Seems to be a question no one wants to answer, but that's OK because it IS an answer ....Lannis
From Devildog:Growing up many a farm dog displayed road rage every time you drove or rode in front of their place. Would chase your vehicle barking like mad.GliderJohn
North of here, near my wife's uncle's farm... there's a farmer that hangs a fake body from a noose in his front yard, and has trained his dogs to *literally attack* vehicles. Not chase, not bark at... attack. I shudder to think what would happen if someone rode a motorcycle past his place, or got a flat tire near it. Dude's a psycho. What the hell is wrong with some people?
sad part is, the dogs will be the ones that lose their life, when they are just doing what they are trained to do, and to make their owner happy. that POS doesn't love dogs at all
Some dogs are just plain stupid and like to chase cars..Or motorcycles..Or bicycles or runners...
More usually it's the people responsible for the dog that are stupid. Dogs generally want to do what their people want them to do ... been that way ever since the first wild canines edged up to the fire and were tossed a bone in return for alerting the tribe of intruders and helping them hunt.If dogs are ignored, or see their people doing stupid things, or are abused, then they'll come up with something to do all on their own ... and "protect the tribe" by chasing anything moving that doesn't belong ....Lannis
I don't know what part of the country we're talking about, but that situation needs some cleaning up. Not always fun to do, but town officials can be helpful when there is a real menace and they see liability somewhere $$$$$$. Sometimes it takes some finding and pointing out, but I've had good luck with small town officials who want what's best for their neighbors.
Western Canada. We're a vast, wide open space, and rural policing is stretched extremely thin these days, with much larger issues at hand. Things are getting... tense in many rural areas.
