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?

OK. Belgian motorway.Fairly busy, but not completely jammed. I was trying to get onto the right-hand (i.e. slow) lane because I didn't want to block anyone on the fast lane. There was a fairly large gap to my right which I pulled into, but accidentally ended up cutting up this small van. I'm still not sure I'd actually been too stupid to see him - I suspect he may have pulled up very suddenly and abruptly *after* I'd checked I was clear. I suspect this because, after I'd cut him up, he did something impressively stupid:
He pulled out into the other lane, managed to overtake me, then cut me up *extremely* closely, clearly intentionally, and then slammed his brakes HARD, causing me to nearly crash into him.
WTF? People like that should have their licence revoked, permanently.
