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?

Road rage by proxyRiding my motorbike across the ANZAC Bridge (it's in Sydney and has a long drop to water beneath it) a woman in a four-wheel decided she wanted to get into my lane so ficked on her indicator and just started pushing me out. Unfortunatley I was already in the inside lane with nowhere to go but into the wall or over the side so I politely beeped my horn in the hope she hadn't seen me and would move back over. No such luck. She just looked over, gave me a "get out of my way" gesture with her hand and kept coming. By this stage I was sandwiched between her car and the wall doing about 70km/h in packed traffic with nowhere to go, until the guy behind me slammed on his brakes to make room and I slid back into the space he created.
At the next lights I was sitting there shaking my head in disbelief when the aforementioned guy got out of his car, walked up and asked if I was OK.
I said I was, he said that's great then walked up to the woman in question's car and started banging his fists against her window and calling her every name under the sun.
She took off through a red light and he walked back looking very happy with himself.
