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 got pulled over 1 time too manyI was on the way home from work, I spotted a police car behind me and understandably began to drive more cautiously....
Granted I drove a metallic purple Mk1 Astra GTE but I found the police followed me for 3 miles.... I did a perfect 29 mph all the way to my own street, then they put on the blue lights and stopped me about 10 metres from my front door!
I got everything, the tyres, the tax disc and really daft questions... this is when I lost it...
"Why are you driving down this road sir?"
"Because I live here"
"I see, but you took a rather unusual route, why was that?"
Ok this was too much for me.
"Well I thought about staying on the main road at 70, but I noticed a copper behind me. Well you know what it's like, you think the bastard is after me for something, so I hit the local road, slowed it down but wouldn't you know it the stupid fuckers followed me to my own front door then wasted my time questionnning my A-Z knowledge and checking the tyres!"
I got a bollocking, a 7 day wonder and continued to get stopped weekly.
If you get road rage, don't mouth off to a copper.
