Road rage

So there we were, walking down the street on our way back home from shopping. A couple of hundred yards ahead, a car driving into town is stationary in the road, signalling right. Subsequent events show that he intends to do a u-turn across the road, but cannot at this time because of oncoming traffic. The car behind him (to whom this really should have occurred) hoots. The driver of the signalling car gets out and kicks the car that did the hooting, several times. Then gets back into his car and finishes his manoeuvre so as to park in the layby in front of the off-licence. He disappears in.

Shortly after that, we ourselves walk past the parked car. I see that this display of well reasoned adult male maturity has been witnessed by the little boy in the passenger seat, aged about 5 or 6.

So what lessons will he one day teach his own kids, I wonder?
