Years ago, somewhere on the old Pacific Goat-track near Ballina, driving at the speed allowed by the crap conditions, I came up behind a car that had a very wobbly rear passenger wheel, but not being driven slowly as the driver seemed unaware.
Flashed my lights, blew the horn, made gestures for him to pull over. Nope. Ignored.
When we got to a small town, he pulled over, and bounced out of his car full of aggro. I calmly got out, told him he had a loose wheel, and he wanted to argue about it. Walked to the wheel, gave it a shove with my foot and it moved about 2 inches, and had 3 loose nuts just holding it on.
No apology, no thanks, no comment. Just stood gormlessly looking at it while I walked back to my car.
I CBFd doing stuff like that anymore. Their car, their problem, their defect.
