5 minutes of highway drama

Scene: Bolte Bridge on the Tullamarine-Westgate Citylink. 8.25am

Enter Joe in his Toyota Avalon looking suspiciously at a taxi following way too closely behind him.

*bump*

Joe: “What the !? The moron just hit me !”

Joe : (To Anthony, car pooling colleague) “Aww crap, what do I do now ?”)

Big monster truck two cars behind: “HOOOONNNKK!!!!”

Anthony: “Pull over to the side of the road and we’ll sort it out”

*Both cars pull over to the side of the freeway*

Joe: “You hit me !”

Taxi Driver: “Is no damage, I see already”

Joe: “We’ll have a look and see” (goes round to the back of the car)

*Both inspect bumper closely for signs of damage*

Taxi Driver: “See. No damage. My car, a little bit but yours ok”

Joe: “Hang on, I want to see where your car is damaged. Anthony, could you have a look at my rear bumper ?”

*Joe and Taxi Driver go to inspect Taxi*

Taxi Driver : “See, just a little bit here” *points to slight dent in his bumper*

Joe: (a bit pissed but slightly amused that the Avalon is unhurt) “Ok. But don’t do that next time ! You’re going to hurt someone !”

End scene.


I wish I thought of a better closing line than that. But what can you do ? For 4D junkies, his license plate was 4912.
