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?

« Go Back
I was waiting at a crossing once (as a pedestrian)
and the green man said go, so I looked both ways (as I'm good like that) and, seeing all was clear, stepped out to cross the road
Just as I did this car came tear-assing round the corner and didn't stop, very nearly running me over in the process. I jumped back and survived, looked around in mild disbelief and then carried on crossing.
The chap on the other side of the crossing though, went absolutely MENTAL. Something like "YOU WANKER WATCH WHERE YOURE GOING SHOULDNT BE ALLOWED ON THE BLOODY ROADS WHO PASSES THEM ANYWAY YOU COULD HAVE KILLED HER RAH RAH RAH" etc. Bless him, it's nice to know people care, but by the time he got past the first word of his rant this chap was probably half-way to Birmingham.
