The ABC is reporting that a 26-year-old man has been sentenced to two years’ jail for stabbing a teenager in a road rage incident last year.

The magistrate’s court heard that the incident happened after the man, Matthew John Davis, merged in front of another car, driven by an unnamed 18-year-old. The younger driver started to pursue Davis’s car and both cars eventually pulled over.

The court heard that Davis and another passenger assaulted the teenager, managing to stab him twice in the arm in the process.

Davis apparently has a violent criminal history, and has been given chances to rehabilitate but Magistrate Beth Campbell basically said enough is enough and gave him a jail sentence.

shouldn’t the Laua Norder crowd be popping up soon? Can you make me some while your at it WMC – I will be round shortly with a six pack.

Thanks for the comments, it just shows that some “criminals” arent as bad as the media persones them to be. I also proved that you CAN use jail to your advantage and do the programs dedicate youself to make sure nothing like that ever happens again. Cheers to the free life, My lovely Fiancee and my Awsome son.

Good on you Matty. Thanks for giving us your side of the story, and I’m glad you straightened yourself out.

this is no excuse for what i done i just feel if i didnt do anything, the girl driving, the baby could have been seriously injured

the plaintiff was a heavyweight boxing champion 2 time. He was known then for bashing people on the street to make a name for himself

I rehabilitated myself while i was in Goulburn jail, I am a better man now and havnt been in any trouble since the law isnt fair sometimes

that was me in that incident, he chased us and rammed our car we had a young baby in the car Dennis Arthur pulled up behind us got out with a shopping trolly pole ..yes i had a small knife, i was wrong for that but he attacked us and because he got beaten in the fight he pursued . I went to jail for yrs. Why wasnt he charged too?, Mathew Davis

you know what if someone chased me down in a car, I think I would probably be up for assault charges too…. probably not a stabbing charge however..

i think the wrong guy got gaoled here.

Yep, he’ll certainly think twice before acting like a tough guy!

On the money Mr Evil – Imagine chasing a guy ’till he pulls over and stabs you! Loser.

That’s what I was talking about last week!

If we can’t fear the police, god, or the government, we can at least fear the occasional raving loony with a violent history and an insufficiently punitive justice system to sort things out eventually.

Sounds like the 18 year old is a fuckin’ tosser too though!
