Some guy in Sydney threw an egg at me while I was checking out the City to Surf run course on a bike.
His rego
UWH219
His car
Toyota Cressida (or similar) - Silver
The NSW TOG now have his details and will be paying him a visit. Thanks to the car behind that stopped, asked if we were OK and offered to be witnesses.

If he meant to connect, then it's a prime example of road rage with potentially serious consequences. The offender deserves far more than a kick in the nuts -- perhaps an extended licence disqualification just for starters.
It'll be interesting to hear the follow up.

quick to cry help from enforcement agencies when you are wronged.
The irony being that ASIO owes its existence to an egg attack. 🙂
Prime Minister Billy Hughes was hit by an egg at Warwick (Q) in November 1917. The local copper refused to take action against the offender when ordered by Hughes on the basis that he wasn't answerable to the Commonwealth, only the Queensland Government. The incident supposedly became Hughes' motive for forming the Commonwealth Police in the same year.
In 1919 the Commonwealth Police became the Special Investigations Branch, subsequently re-named the Investigations Branch and later still the Commonwealth Investigations Branch, which was eventually absorbed by the Commonwealth Investigations Branch, from which ASIO was born in 1949.
Throwing eggs is a very risky business. ;-)
Your eggin us on!!

It's only an egg for heavens sake, not a brick or anything massive. AND IT MISSED! so lighten up. Who hasn't thrown an egg at someone. Remember those school break up days - we all did it.
and what were you doing when you were "checking out" the course anyway, blocking traffic, weaving around??.......maybe you deserved being egged.

What was thrown or that it missed is totally irrelevant.
If that egg had hit the person in the face making them stray in front of a bus or car killing them then I doubt whether it would matter to the Police if it were a simple egg or a brick which was thrown.
Cheers

You ever been hit by an egg at 80km/h? Can do serious damage.
When I was a kid, we use to throw oranges at cars from our school play ground. We all did it. But it doesn't change the fact that it was stupid, could cause lots of damage, and possibly very dangerous.

Emu?
Should add maybe take a frypan, cheap breakfast, maybe someone will throw bacon. If you get enough you could start a takeaway, the possibilities are endless.
