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?

Swindon drivers...
How does a town so full of roundabouts produce so many drivers that completely fail to understand how to use them? Couple of weeks ago on my way home, 3 lane roundabout, me in the middle and some twunt on my left. the twunt decides he wants to turn right, with no thought that he might just force me to slam into his side. Luckily I brake and very narrowly avoid slamming into his door. Of course after managing to stop in time, there was a fair amount of beeping and visual swearing coming entirely from me. I thought about following him, perhaps asking him why he was so inclined to risk injury to people in my car and his then beating the shit into him. Luckily I remebered I'm a complete weed so gave up on that line of thought quickly.
Those of you thinking that the twunt might have just been worried about missing the turning, you could quite easily see the next roundabout just 30 meteres or so down the road.
Nah wasn't the magic roundabout, it's the duel carriageway by the Kembry trading estate heading to the A419
