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 find myselfhurling abuse at folk who drive at 30mph on the local backroads. the speed limit is 60!
and all these people who sit in the fast lane at 65mph, it's for fucking overtaking. not for them to trundle along at the same speed as the other lanes.
the other week i was in edinburgh with my mates' band kobai. we'd parked their bus down the bottom of a street but needed to move it. cue me jumping in the driver seat and realising i'd have to reverse the bloody thing all the way back up to the main road about 200m away. this would have been fair enough if people hadn't decided to double park into a bloody chicane formation. after slowly manouvering the big yellow spaz bus past the first, i came level with the second, only to find both driver and passenger sitting in the car, engine running. and the bint in the passenger seat smiled, rolled down her window and said something along the lines of "you did really well there like".
said woman was lucky not to have her teuchter patter rammed back down her throat. why not move you're car, stupid east coast... ARGH!
