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?

My list of hates
1) People who speed up when you try and overtake them - this is neither funny nor sensible, and makes you look the prat you clearly are.
2) Truck drivers who think that simply indicating their wish to pull out means they can do so, irrespective of who is next to them, or approaching from behind at a higher speed than they can attain.
3) Truck drivers who overtake each other with 2mph speed difference thus selfishly blocking the carriageway for faster vehicles for 20 minutes or so, GET A LIFE YOU IGNORANT FUCKERS, AND TURN YOUR BRAINS ON BEFORE YOU TURN ON YOUR IGNITION.
4) Salesmen in Passats and low-spec BMW 1 series who tailgate me when I'm already doing 90 because they've 'simply got to get past' - obviously an important paperclip sale is waiting for them at the end of their journey.
5) People who pull halfway across a busy road and then look at you disapprovingly when you dont let them out... Err, I didnt ask you to do it, dont blame me when your half-arsed manouvre causes you to be stuck there.
6) People in Supermarket carparks who wait patiently to get to the spaces right by the door because they're too fat/lazy/idle to park further away and walk.
7) People who use the disabled/mother and baby spaces in said carparks without being either disabled or having a baby. You know who you are, you SUV driving twats.
8) Bus Drivers, 99% of whom are arrogant, cerebrally deficient pond-scum. To those of you who are decent and considerate, I apologise.
9) Chavs in riced up cars. Lads (and some lasses) I dont want you glued to the back of my car either in heavy traffic or on a motorway, if your car really had the power you advertise you would be easily able to overtake me. I also carry my 18 month old son in the back seat quite often and I dont want him involved in an accident. And turn your bloody music off, I can hear it in my car with my stereo on, so god knows what its doing echoing around in your vacant cavern of a cranium.
That is all.
