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?

sorry
i know i've done it twice in the same qotw, but sod it.
baby on board signs (although not solely used for this purpose) were invented to try and reduce the amount of babies and toddlers killed in horrific car accidents when the driver was incapacitated and couldn't alert the services at the time. however most firemen would tell you horror stories of situations similar to this where they've spotted the baby on board sign, searched for hours (risking their or colleague's lives) only to find out a week later when the driver regains consciousness that the child was at home that day.
they have a use, but it tends to be ignored by people with them
and those aren't their husband's pieces of shit they're driving. more's the pity
