Default Gotta love karma

Will try to keep as short as possible.
I live 2 driveways past lights at a fairly major intersection.Hard to get in and out of ,particularly if I am leaving a red to green light I may have been sitting at.
Looks a little strange to those behind when I dab the brakes a few times, indicate on and off a couple of times and gesticulate that I am turning straight after the lights....works fine most times though, most seem to get the idea or at least maybe think I'm possibly a little nutty and give me leeway.
So I'm coming home last week, up the main road towards the lights, I've got some socially challenged, teen(?) bogan up my clacker for a mile and a half, doing everything possible to get past me. (Here's the picture...cap on backwards, doof doof doof coming from the boot, 20 inches of tacky bling on the purple(chameleon),white body kitted,VP/VS?, with 5!!! P plates on the dash). He's behind me at the lights and I go through the routine with him, lights turn green, slowly out across the intersection blinkers on dabbing the brake...have to swing a little wide to make the driveway and the next thing I know I've got said bogan nearly in the passenger seat, screaming abuse ,flicking middle fingers and blasting some ridiculous noise from the air horns!! He had tried coming up the inside of me as I was turning right into my drive!!
He's a local and I see him often drive past.. alway offers me the same middle finger and abuse. I've beckoned for him to "pop in for a chat and a cup of tea" a few times but he seems to be always in a rush to get past my place.
Anyways....I'm coming home today ,get stuck in a bit of traffic...get to the front of the line and couldn't believe it when I see old mate trying to decide which end of his (literally) crumpledore he wanted to shed tears over!!!
Appears that he had been travelling way too close to the young girl in front of him who actually thought you need to stop at a red light, he has run up her rear..AND.. had the bloke behind(also obviously travelling a little too close),run right up his behind. I was nearly wetting myself as I drove past, but composed myself enough to do a u(ee), and come back to offer any asistance to the young girl. I had no intention of saying anything to the young bloke, but he seemed to be pretty pre-occupied with something inside his car, 'cause he didn't come out all the time I was there!! Postscript was that the young girl was not injured, she had full insurance and wasn't overly upset about anything, nor was the bloke at the rear of it all, just have a lovely vision of old mate screaming and throwing things around(now out of his car) as I was driving away
Anyhow, back to the title of the post...for all here who want to get even for carpark bingles, road rage complaints ,or all the other things we seem to get so steamed up about...remember, karma works, stay cool.
