ronttuk:
i find this amazing, this is a offroad 4x4 lets get dirty forum theres post on mud dirt and all types of 4x4s but the longest topic is this 1!!
weather its right or wrong bullying or standing up for your rights i cant understand why this post has incured so much interest in a 4x4 forum lets all have a group hug make friends and ask for a politics forum forf this sort of stuff,
i feel my viewes as a smoker would be swept away just as my views as a father has been when my ex decided to stop me seeing my son 4 court orders all broken but hey im just the dad im not a woman so its tuff, so as a dirty inconsiderate smoker ill bow to the good guys who dont smoke and every time i pay all that tax on my habbit ill think of the money im saving the other tax payers while slowly killing myself but hey ill die happy

While your intentions were good, your actions weren't. You need to be carefull with the way you handle people, especially when showing them the error of their actions.
Humans can be very aggressive and dangerous if they feel trapped and indangered.
That and you had no idea if the occupent of the car had anything within reach which could have caused you a lot of damage.
Size doesn't help in a fight, skill and training will, but it comes down to luck mostly.

Hey ronttuk I was kinda sticking up for you , you smelly inconsiderate smoker you!!
I dont smoke, think its a barmy habit, but Ill be honest, when the smoking ban arrived I thought it was a terrible idea. No doubt the start of many civil liberties being removed(hey, thats politics, non of that here!!)
I think the atmosphere in clubs etc is....well.....different. For the worse in my opinion. But hey, thats only my opinion.

24 March 1999 in France/Italy
A Belgian lorry loaded with flour and margarine caught fire in the Mont Blanc tunnel. A lighted cigarette end caused this fire. The fire quickly spread and was not extinguished until 24 hours later. 39 people died.

Stubbing it out on his bonnet might have had the desired effect though :D

Like an awfull lot of wiki entries this one needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. Nobody knows what caused the fire. Volvo the makers of the truck that caused the fire were put on trial for design faults resulting in the fire. They were not convicted however. If the authorities had been as convinced by the cause as the auther of the wiki then it would never have got to court. Oh and witness state that the smoke was coming from inside the cab not from the engine.
Cig butts and air filters seem to be pretty much and urban myth tbh. Nissan did a recall on the almera because they said that this could happen. As no other manufacturer has done a recall I would hazard a guess that it isnt a problem.
Oh and if you stub a cig out on my bonnet you will need a trip to the dentist.

Friend of mine lost his artic because of a fag end in the air intake... not a myth at all..... problem was he was smoking it .... he flicked it out of the window and the air intake sucked it in.
if he had not seen the smoke from the air intake it could of been a lot worse but the truck was written off
