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?

Classic CarsWas with my mate, we were going to a party in his car. I thought it would be nice to 'bring a bottle'. So we went to Morrisons en-route and I bought a bottle of vodka. Was asked 'do you want a bag' ... said no, as we were both wearing 'floorduster' coats and put the bottle in my inside coat pocket.
Got to the car and we were about to drive off when two security guards charged at us. One yanked open the Driver door and dived in to try to grab the ignition keys, only to discover they weren't in the side of the steering column. We were in a Rover P6 where the keys go in the middle of the dashboard.
Cue much confusion and emabarrassment from said security guard and severe apologies when he finds himself looking at a receipt for the bottle of booze and a pair of plasticuffs and a pair of Greater Manchester warrant cards that say we'd make sure he had a pleasant night Chez Liz (the nick).
Needless to say he apologised and was let on his way. He had a valid point (we looked VERY suspect) but agreed he was in the wrong.
