Did you get lost in the sequence of events? I did not throw stones the
stones at him when he came back. On his first pass he came barrelling by
at a high rate of speed and so close that I was able to make contact with
a
short stick I was carrying. He had lots of room to move over. I did not.
There was a ditch and no real shoulder. I was walking two large dogs...
hard to get moved over. Perhaps I should have mentioned that he blasted
his
car horn at me. Apparently he thought I had no business walking on the
road. I was dressed in light clothes carrying a flashlight which was
pointed at the ground and being moved about so that it would not be
confused for an oncoming vehicle. I was walking on the proper side of the
road, and in this country cars drive on the right, so pedestrians walk on
the left.
He came back and yelled and screamed at me for being on the road, and for
being on the wrong side of the road. I was a pedestrian on the edge of the
road, since there was no shoulder, and he apparently was too stupid to
know
which side of the road pedestrians are supposed to use. He threatened me,
saying that if he say me on the road again he would run me over. Then he
took off, went a few hundred yards to the a driveway where he turned
around, then came at a high rate of speed and veered toward me. I did step
back, getting out of his way and whipping the handful of stones at his
car.
Call a cop and see who would go to jail.
