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 was driving home todayand was stuck righ behind a bus that was picking up and dropping off quite a few people. Now, some clever people had parked in the bus stop, so he had to stop in the middle of our lane and because there was an island in the middle of the road, me and the line of traffic were stuck behind him.
Now, not his fault - he has to stop where he can. So I sat patiently behind him for about a minute and a half until he finally moved. As he was pullin off, he decided to stick his arm out the window and give me the finger - for no apparent reason.
I was raging, and finally caught up with him at traffic lights and rolled my window down to ask him why.
Me: "Why did you give me the finger?"
Him: "Cause you were sitting blasting your horn, that's why."
Me: "No I wasn't. Noone was blasting their horn at all."
Him: "Oh"
If their eyesight is half as bad as their hearing, that'll explain a lot of their driving...
