ROAD RAGE IN NANAIMO

THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA!
As much as we all have our patience tested by bad drivers, it is not a good idea to provoke someone just because of their poor driving.
A man visiting from the Yukon found that out recently when he told someone who had been driving poorly what he thought. Apparently a passenger in the other vehicle took exception to what was said, and proceeded to smash windows in the Yukon visitors van, with a baseball bat.
In the process, and on the back swing, he also took out a window on the car in which he was riding. (Poetic justice?). This car was later caught by police and drug related material was found in the car. The two involved were arrested.
Local police report they deal with at least two cases of road rage weekly, with most people yelling or swearing at each other, with the occasional incident leading to physical violence.
The best advice if you see someone driving erratically is to note their license plate, and report them to police. It would also be wise to keep your distance and your opinion to yourself.
