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?

It's not white vans you have to watch out for
Driving our 2CV somewhere near the speed limit through a small town in France a local behind us in a Peugeot decided that 2CVs are slow so he just had to overtake. The traffic-calming meant he couldn't get past for a while so he got closer and more agitated all the time. Eventually the road widened just enough for him to squeeze by with a lurid swerve and a screech of tyres. As he horsed off into the distance we were passed again. This time it was the Gendarmerie van which had been behind us all the time . . .
My how we laughed.
