right, i'll keep this as short as i can

in january myself and my daughter were going shopping

a guy driving the opposite way to me, threw his car straight across my side of the road, and i had to do an emergency stop.

he got out of his car ranting and raving that hes seen me where he works and i keep driving like an idiot

i don't know who the guy is, and i havn't worked for 2 year becouse of looking after my disabled wife.

i try to get out of the car, as i get one leg out onto the road, he slams my door 4 times into my shin

he then runs to his car and grabs a shovel, i tried to get away, but the car had a dodgy starter motor and wouldn't start

he then comes back with a shovel opens my door, and hits my leg with the shovel

at this point my daugter is histerical, she was only 3 at the time, and only had a mental age of 1

so i got out the car, shoved the guy backwards while swearing and shouting at him that he was a nutter

i called the police, had him arrested, and thought that was the end of it


a few weeks later, the police turn up at our house and arrest me, saying i had assulted and insuled the guy

i admitted i had pushed him and swore, but stated it was self defence, that's whene it was sent to court



2 weeks ago, he was found guilty of assulting me, he was fined £200


today i was cleared of assult, but found guilty of using language likely to offend, (basicly i swore at him)

i have been bound over to keep the peace for a year, and fined £400

Oggy,
I sympathise with your plight and wish you a speedy recovery.

However I see little in this thread that is likely to be of benefit to a Bushcraft Forum, therefore I'm going to close it immediately.
