Penguin, the whole point of the exercise was to chastise the foolish without physically hurting them. Self-protection requires imaginative methods if needless violence is to be avoided.
Like the 'I'll pass all these bikers, avoiding a head-on by just cutting in and muscling one or two out of the way' putz we encountered one day out in the New Forest. He was duly surrounded and 'rounded up', then diverted down a quiet country lane, where we brought him to a stop, removed his engine and gearbox and left it on the grass bank next to his nice new Mercedes.
I'd have loved to have been a fly on the wall when he made his statement to his insurance company and the police.
Hehehehehehehe.
