Road rage - letting off steam or serious threat?

Ah a great start to my birthday :rolleyes:

In the car with my dad waiting for the lights up at the corner to change (so no more oncoming traffic) so we can to turn into our road . A nice lady decides to go thru a red light but it's no big deal there's enough space to make the turn so everybody's a winner (this would be my usual course of action). But no, the old man decides to crawl as he turns in so they come up to us freaking out at him. It gets worse when he decides to berate her (like shaking his fingers and showing how many points you get) at her for going thru the light. Anyways as we come down our road she comes down after us almost blocking him as he tries to turn the car (me almost dying if morification) and starts reading him the riot act and he continues to engage her (he's a wind up merchant). Then she says "lets see where youz live and we'll see what happens tonight". Of course he tells her (in fariness he parks outside so she would have seen) and then tells her she's taking her reg. I'll admit that I gave her the finger at some stage as it was dragging on (i'd been at the dentist and wanted something to eat so trying to end it:rolleyes:).

Anyhoos to cut this example of muppetry short do you think she was letting off steam or should I be worried/call the cops - it's not his car I care about more my poor car that's parked in the drive

Other driver if you are reading I apolgise for giving you the finger and yes he's that annoying all the time :rolleyes::mad:

Straight onto local gards for the threat she made, it needs to be logged with them.

it was probably just a threat in anger - but goto the gardai and get it on the record anyway.

Ps. Happy Birthday !!!

Well I'm a stress head

and wear a splint at night for grinding my teeth and it was ready today so I went and got it - the old one was breaking apart into shards of plastic so needed the new one asap with an 8:00am appointment to get it out of the way.
