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?

The truck in front is MINE, fuckers!First off: all HGVs are limited by law to 40 mph on single carriageways.
The firm I drive for track our speed, so on a single, 40 is what we do. Tough if you're in a hurry, but life's like that. Some people don't know this though, and get really wound up.
I get to my destination one day, 12 miles at the end of a single carriageway, go straight to the unloading area and park. Just as I get inside, there's an almighty racket from outside.
"FUCKING CUNT, I'LL KILL HIM, I'LL KILL HIM, I'LL KILL HIM...." and so forth. Outside security is wrestling with a middleaged rep-style person, whose Beemer (how did you guess?) is trapped by the partially closed yard gate. I go over, not wanting to miss the fun. Now he really kicks off. Shout to security: "get him off the cameras". We drag him away from the gate camera, and restrain him vigorously.
Turns out he'd been behind me all the way. Also turns out that he had a Stanley in his hand when security jumped him...
No charges on either side, but a few less teeth on his.
