Road RageLast 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?

I'm normally quite calmAnd i have total respect for the majority of other drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. Yes, even cyclists - and not just because I am one myself sometimes.
However. What really gets my goat are the ones who seem to want to get killed. The pedestrians who walk out into the road without looking while texting or on the phone. The cyclists who think it's clever to be on a road at night with no lights or helmet, wearing black. The drivers who sit 2 inches from my bumper while driving at 80mph on the motorway. And the bus drivers, oh where do I start with the bus drivers. I have one thing to say: indicators should be put on before you start to move out not when you've already shoved me half way over to the other side of the road because you pulled out without warning.
Ah, I feel better now :)
EDIT: ooh taxis, I forgot taxis. How I hate taxis. Can somebody explain why they're allowed to use bus lanes and I get fined £30 for it??!!
