Is this the ultimate road rage story?
A former soldier’s attempt to murder a stranger for driving too slow was a “bad call” triggered by concerns for his wife’s welfare, a court has heard.
Anderson — who the court earlier heard calls the Smith and Wesson .357 silver magnum revolver used in the attack “Precious” — was eventually arrested on the way to Port Augusta.
During the trial Anderson told the court he was the victim and Mr Walsh was a “a creep who ruined a perfect holiday”.
He said Mr Walsh’s car was “moping along” and so he overtook it, only for the younger man to “nudge” him from behind and pass his vehicle — forcing him to fire five shots.
