Road Rage
Last week I had to stop a guy attacking another one in the middle of the road - one had run the lights whilst on the phone and the other had objected. I actually had to take the attacker's car keys out of their car and tell him he wasn't getting them back till he calmed down.
Looking back on it, I was lucky I was feeling all parental and in control or the situation could have panned out very differently.
Have you lost it on the roads, or have you been on the recieving end of some nutter?

Eastern European HGVs!
I drive along the M20 to and from work at odd hours (3am in some cases!) - however, being the main route from both Dover and the Chunnel into the UK, we tend to get lots of Europe's finest HGV drivers doing their very best to kill everyone else on the roads.
The number of burnt out, mangled lorries on the hard shoulder, not to mention the numerous HGV-sized skidmarks and humungous bits of blown out tyres would be a clue to some of them to maybe.. I don't know... ***SLOW DOWN*** and stop trying to overtake eachother in the middle lane while flashing their headlights in some sort of code....
Strange how they all seem to be limited to do the speed limit during normal hours when they know Kent's finest are out and about.. but before say 5am - the M20 is like a Bulgarian HGV boy-racers paradise.
Not nice when you drive a micra...
