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?

now that i've made my admission of violence...middle of london: BMW, now there's a set up, eh?
usual story of SMIDSY, mr. bmw, smart suit, no indication he's heading my way pulls out on a T junction. I manage to stop my bike and to express my dismay, nay, chagrin, at being forced to stop in an ungainly manner, I beep my horn. Mr. BMW gets out of car, causing a jam, then tells me what he could my with my horn and that possibly itwas all my fault for riding a piece of shit motorcycle. so i fucked off into the traffic and left him there.
cue 2 hrs later: i'm there on an interview panel (and no i'm not making this up) in steps Mr BMW, (& who of course does not recognise me minus piece of shit bike and full face helmet)
So says I, can you give us an instance of your negotiation, people handling skills? can you tell us ofa situation that didn't go well? and he trots out the usual BS...
I think he twigged tho' when i outlined scenario not dissimilar to that above and asked how he might handle the criticism of a bike or car beeping him?
he didn't get the job and i now know where the twunt lives....
BTW: I've still got the piece of shit bike AND a good job.
