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?

Car control
Was driving along the dual carriageway on the Croydon overpass, moved into the right hand lane, as I was turning right shortly at the roundabout at the end of that stretch.
Bright spark drives right up, and I mean right up my bumper, which was a bit keen as I was already doing 80 in a 60..
Anyway, he was flashing his lights and giving me some unhelpful gestures, so I touched my brakes to get him to drop back.
He panicked, hit his brakes and 360’d his car. Made me giggle..
