You're likely to get yourself killed for doing that... gas stations are one-way and nobody's happy about some dickhead cutting in the wrong way. I have no qualms in forcing someone who tried that back out of the station with my front bumper. |

Gas Tank Fill Location All Wrong

The only reason it is not a good idea and isn't done at very busy gas stations is there's always someone who doesn't see what you are doing and they get backed into. >You're likely to get yourself killed for doing that... gas stations >are one-way and nobody's happy about some dickhead cutting in the >wrong way.

You would be the one who is way out of line on that one, Paul - the proper way to handle a line cutter at a very busy station is the station attendant turns off the pump and tells the line cutter "No Gas For YOU! Go away!" If you try shoving his car out of the station with your car, you are playing a really stupid game of Machismo Poker. You just called that guy's opening hand of "Bad manners infraction Boorish Behavior" and raised the stakes WAY up to "Felony Assault with a Deadly Weapon (Automobile)", and a raft of other possible felony charges depending on exactly how you did it. And unless your name is Orrenthal James Simpson you aren't going to get a Jury Nullification and skate on those charges, the DA will make something stick. --<< Bruce >>-- |
