Just a friendly warning to be careful of a large man who drives an H1 Hyundai bus around JHB with the license plate RIPPER-GP. My brother in law was driving in traffic and the bus was in front of him straddling two lanes. He hooted and overtook and then gestured to ask the guy what he was doing. The guy flipped his lid, pulled up onto the verge and after driving up next to them got out and tried to open the drivers door of my brother in laws car while screaming and swearing. When that failed he smashed in their windscreen using his fist. This all happened with women being in both cars (the aggressors wife and my sister in law) and the aggressors own kid and wife watching horrified from the H1. He left after damaging the car.

Anyways, just be careful out there. Some people are sick in the head. Charges have been laid at the police station against the guy for assault and damage to property so hopefully the police can do something based on the fact that they have the guys license number and description.
 
Should have run him over and put him out of his misery.

Eish some okes just get pshco on the road ! :wtf:

If your BIL is on FaceBook post on PSNN JNB maybe some one will know where or who this freak is.
 
Ye, my brother in law is actually chilled and a very straight arrow. Never once heard him swear much less throw a zap. It was very much an arm gesture. Even if he had thrown a zap that is not breaking the law. On the other hand our friend Ripper did an illegal driving move by mounting the curb, followed by wanton destruction of private property and attempted assault. He broke several laws which even with provocation is not right. Like I said. I hope the cops can nab him. The problem is without other witnesses its probably his word vs theirs. The only evidence is the shattered windscreen.
 
The only time I ever gesture is when I'm saying thanks. Never gesture for anything else unless you're trying to tell a person they can go in ahead of you.

NEVER GESTURE!
