Only happens in America? Nah uh. A man was arrested in Serpentine for using a fake handgun in a road rage incident. It happened on Sunday and police pulled the man over and one officer drew his weapon during the arrest believing the man was armed. But it was just a replica pistol - lucky for the guy the cops we're calm about the whole thing and not trigger happy.
Road rage is a real problem here - and getting worse. Perth has become the "tail-gating" capital of Australia. Just slow down folks, back off a little, and chill out. It's not worth dying over.
