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?

the tree moved!A couple of years ago I was running late (there's a surprise...) bundled kids (twin boys around 2yrs at the time) into car and set off to Grandma's house....I live in the sticks, surrounded by fields, woods and all single track roads...but does that make anyone slow down? Does it bugger! So I'm doing a comfortable 40ish along the track, whip round a corner only to discover a white van (surprise surprise!) hurling towards me...oh shit, I think....quick, pull over! Evasive action was taken and rapid contact was made with offside wing and the only bloody tree in the field....White van didn't even slow down...Managed to limp to Grandma's house where children shout with glee, "Mummy crash car! Tree move!" Now kids don't lie, ok!
