You should have burned that jerks hand with your ciggy and then rolled your window up tight on him and then driven away with him hanging from your car!!! I know you don't think of these things when your attacked, you're just panicked, but it would have taught him a good lesson!

If you can see the bottom of the tires of the car ahead, you have enough room to maneuver around the car and escape. I was taught that in driving education at a young age but was reminded of it by my weapons instructor. And if you happen to run over your assailant when leaving, oh so sorry, just an added perk!shulsarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06493670171627507754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5252334782736283323.post-70643770395805969112011-08-20T04:03:42.429+02:002011-08-20T04:03:42.429+02:00I am so glad you are safe and sound..

But believe me...OMG Paola, that sounds sooo scary!! But believe me when I say this kind of thing happens everywhere. My son was on a parking space at night at a gas station to set his GPS and a guy gets into his car and tells him to drive him to some address somewhere. Now my son isn't that small a guy and works in an institution for criminial adolescents so he is used to some violence so he litterally kicked the guy out of his car, got out and hit him once or twice after which he took off. So it happens here in the Netherlands as well hun!! I'm so glad you got away unharmed.
