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?

Reciprocal RageTwo lanes filter into one, everybody plays nicely, except a ginger-haired moron in his body kitted, spotlighted Escort, who tries to force me over, missing me by nothing much.
I’m not one for being bullied, so didn’t give way, and he had to, as his lane was ending, and the traffic island wasn’t going anywhere.
So now I’ve got him behind me, bright red with rage, swearing, hooting etc etc.
We get to a set of red lights, where he shouts a bit more and then proceeds to bump into my car deliberately.
My turn to get angry. Now my car was an elderly, but souped-up Jaguar XJS, which has the attributes of being both very heavy and very fast. So I let the lights go to green, didn’t move, (which didn’t calm him down much), let them go to amber, threw the car into reverse. Heard his spotlights go tinkling onto the tarmac, and left the scene as quickly as all 12 cylinders would permit, leaving him stuck at the red lights.
I felt much better, not so sure about him though.
