Well, you shall likely not receive the finger or frustration from another tired & harassed driver. <br /><br />Re: 'Universal law' - exactly my dear. All the more important for fair & balanced handouts for something as silly (but offensive). If you think people never accuse someone for things they didn't do you must be more naive than I. And, I don't know why you feel the need to be defend 'your people', where did that come from? There's good and the bad in every basket. And for the last time, I'm debating (for sake of debate & thought) Hand out something that's fair & balanced to both folks, 'cause unlike some of you, most people don't suck up every crap thrown at them. If you can't comprehend that, let's just agree to disagree.

I remember the business my 1/2 sister worked for pissed off a VIP client, and the next day the municipality showed up, deemed the company in violation of god knows what, and shut them down till they did exactly what that client wanted.

But the point is being overlooked somewhere. Yes he did break the law, but the issue here is that the punishment is inconsistent with such a crime. A fine and an overnight stay at the police station is enough to “educate” the public about the tough measures for this indecent gesture. Deportation??
