This is a real story which happened to one of my friends.
He stays in Damansara. Exactly where I'm not that sure about it. Our 2 months holiday ended just recently. And on the 12th of July, he decided to go out with his girlfriend.
He was driving, on his way out I presume, and he reached a T junction. Mind you, the T junction has no traffic lights. So it means that you turn when there are no cars coming from the main trunk road. Being unable to turn, as the traffic was quite heavy at the time, my friend had no choice but to remain stationary till the traffic clears.
And this is when it happened. This guy who was driving a Toyota Alfred, the car which has an Osim massage car behind, started to get impatient. He horned and horned.
This friend of mine, I would say, is quite a good driver himself. Being someone who holds the Malaysian Driver's License for approximately 2 years, and who drives at a speed of only 60kmph, he's quite of a cautious driver. And on top of that, he is very patient. Very, very patient. He endures all cynical remarks, replying them with his smile, receiving blows from girls he teased like a man.
So that Toyota guy kept on horning, and threatened him (my friend) by applying the my-car-will-crash-your-car-style if you don't budge. Like when you tail gate someone, you come very close, appearing like you are about the crash into the car in front. That's what the Toyota guy did. Toyota guy did that for a few times, and blasted the horn like nobody's business.
He, being unable to move, got very irritated with the actions. And he showed Toyota guy the middle finger without looking behind. And that is when Toyota guy decided to overtake him. Toyota guy came out from the queue, and stopped right beside his car.
That's when Toyota guy took out his 9milimeter and pointed directly at him.
Second thread from Toyota guy. He got a shock of his life. And luckily the traffic eased, so he made a left turn. Toyota guy trailed from behind, and soon they both had to stop at the traffic lights. Toyota guy came down from his car, scolded him, and said "Who do you think you are? Trying to show me the middle finger? Mind you I'm a high ranked cop".
Toyota guy went back to his car, traffic lights turned green, sped off in another direction. And his car had to badge thingy attached to the number plate, and has a police station authorised sticker.
He was very pissed with what happened, wanted to lodge a report on the threats he received, but coming to think about it, Toyota guy said HE'S A HIGH RANKED COP. So he decided not to do so afterall, and continued with his plans for the day.
******************************
So what is Toyota guy suggesting? Having loads of cash, a 9mm beside, a high rank postion means you get the privilege to point your 9mm to someone whenever you want things to be done your way? Tsk tsk.
Your say?
Your say?

My 2 cents. I drive fast too and sometimes when I'm rushing for meetings for work I get impatient with people who move slow.
IMHO, your friend should not have flipped the bird. That is a sign of aggression, how would you expect the guy to react?
I would have done the same (but I don't have a gun - coz it's illegal ;)) but I would be plenty pissed off.
If your friend doesn't want confrontation, don't provoke it.
Peace, just another driver on the road. :)

i pity your friend. But somehow i think that guy is too rude. I still think that it's against the law for a policeman to point out the gun at someone who does nothing wrong.
You may consider writing to the newspaper. Maybe it helps indirectly to overcome these kind of misuse of authorities.

Shea Teng : Yeah true. Though even my friend showed the middle finger (THERE ARE, yes there are alot of rude drivers nowadays), he should not have misused his authority this way.
Haha perhaps I should you know!

Haha.. My 2 cents oso.. Ur fren, whoever he is shud not have started e aggression.. Showing middle finger will really push e other guy 2 the edge. Sometimes even u get cursed like mad is better 2 keep quiet. I personally kena dat sumtimes oso.
Like Huai Bin, i am very very impatient wif people who drive slow. N oredi slow summore wan show middle finger, memang waiting 2 kena.
Although e other guy overreacted, ur fren is actually @ fault.
Sorry if i offended anyone. Jz my opinion.
NB: By the way, its a Toyota Alphard. N a very nice MPV too..

Agreed with Wei Shin and Huai Bin.
Hehe seriously, ur fren is the one at fault here. Yea, the flip gun is wrong. But he is the one who provoke him by flipping him.
And ur fren is the one telling the story, he may have altered the story to make him look innocent. Maybe only.
And it's normal for ppl to horn u if u don come out from the junction fast, KLite and Penangnite should noe this very well.
Lucky is not Pa Kia Tau, or else ur fren's finger is on the road already!
Just my 5 cents

philip : think that guy must have pushed him(my friend) to his limits. Cause he's not known to do things like this. Haha.
Ya lo I realized yesterday I spelt it wrongly. Lol!
barney : Yeah true also. Always shut up and don't respond to anything. That's the best.
herman : shut up! Lol.
