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?

Oh, a good topic for me-Not quite road rage, more like road insanity. I was doing the speedlimit, 115-ish kph, not sure of the exact conversions, and I was in the slow lane. Passing me on the left side was a black camaro. They pulled up until they were about level with my door, the man in the car turned and looked at me and then wrenched the wheel sideways, almost into my car.
I reacted in almost the same instant, so we weren't hit, but then I swerved and nearly went over the guardrail of an overpass and onto a 6-lane road. I did stay on the road, and made it off of the offramp without further mishap, but that was scary.
The guy had no reason to try to hit me, and I hadn't done anything to him. It was odd.
