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?

Not quite road rageNot quite an on the road experience, more a tenuously linked story about driving.
I work for a well known motoring organisation (3 letters, not 2), I have to deal with people everyday that I swear shouldn't be allowed in public, let alone near a car.
Now the worst of these are the elderly, 99% of them are unable to comprehend the most basic of questions, such as "What's your postcode?", they have no visibility as they seem unable to read paperwork 2 feet from their noses so how they can safely see a pedestrian at night I have no idea, but worse than those are the one who spend £10,000 on a new car that they'll drive 1000 miles a year in and then complain that the insurance has gone up because they've replaced there 15yr old £500 Volvos for a car costing 20 times as much. Makes me scream everytime I get off the phone from the doddery miserable old fools, lost count the numbers of times I've wished they'd fall down the stairs
