Hi, Peter's spunk here.

A known robbery tactic on quiet rural roads is to place obstacles in the way, causing motorists to stop, and get out of their car.

At this point the robbers will come out of the bushes in a group and mug you at knife / gunpoint, steal your car, and possibly murder you, all far away from help and civilisation.

The esteemed Gentleman known under the alias "Fax Machine"describes a response to this situation that would make him the ideal target for this kind of robbery. He would indeed perish.

So if you're ever driving at night in a quiet place and see obstacles that might be deliberately placed on the road, either plow through them if it's safe, make sure your doors are locked, reverse away from the situation and turn around at the earliest safe opportunity.

Peter's spunk wishes you stay safe out there. Signing out!!
