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?

Gypsy curseI had a driving lesson last week (test number 12 coming up - go for it!).
My instructor asked me to do an emergency stop, just after a bend in the road. I thought it was a bit dangerous, but far be it for me to challenge a professional.
I stopped and we sat there for a bit, and all of a sudden a family of gypsies came round the corner behind me, riding these chariot things being pulled by horses. They're hard to describe - they really did look like chariots. Anyway, as they rode past me the daddy gypsy started flipping out. "Why have you stopped on a blind bend you stupid f*cking c*nt, are you out of your f*cking mind? Learn to f*cking drive!". I just sat there staring straight ahead, close to tears after an hour and a half of bay parking and reversing round corners, contemplating why someone would shout "learn to drive" at someone in a car with a "Driving School" sign sticking out of the roof. My instructor just stared straight ahead, she went into a kind of trance. The gypsies started to ride away, and as they did the daughter gypsy turned around. She was about 13 and was blatantly an Arch Fleabag.
As she caught me eye, without thinking I waggled my tongue at her in quite a sordid and unpleasant way. I'm not proud of it, I really don't know what possessed me.
She then called out to her dad, who stopped the horse and began to walk towards us quite quickly. My instructor said "right let's go. Come on GO!" And we sped past them, leaving them feast on my Vauxhall Corsa dust. ha! That gypsy was well and truly CROSSED.
