Greg Centofanti, 29, moved home to Griffith because of panic attacks he suffers in heavy traffic, triggered by the incident.
In October 2013, Mr Centofanti was driving in a 70kmh zone near his Sunshine Coast home. He claims another vehicle, travelling at about 140kmh, hurtled up his inside and was forced to brake heavily to avoid colliding with Mr Centofanti’s car.
What followed was a volcanic road rage attack that has changed Mr Centofanti’s life. “He was so angry, he blocked my car in and started swearing at me and making throat-slitting signals,” he said.
“He kept saying he was going to kill me.” The infuriated driver then began ramming Mr Centofanti’s car. “He ripped one of my front wheels clean off,” Mr Centofanti said. “I was stuck in the middle of three lanes of traffic with nowhere to go.”
The attacker was arrested by police the following day.
