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?

A few years ago...My mate was a new driver and was taking us for a spin (as you do) and accidently pulled out a little too soon and NEARLY collided with another driver in a Green Golf (it wouldn't have been much of a crash luckily as both parties were only doing about 20mph).... So my mate drives off (unsure as to what to actually do in a near crash situation) and this guy starts following us...
For about ten minutes, my mate is driving round corners and side-streets and soon traps himself at a dead end... and still this guy is behind us... my mate manages to turn his car around and we end up almost bumper to bumper... with the green golf blocking us in.
So, we're both sat there as this guy slowly drives closer to us and stops. He doesn't get out the car or anything, he just STARES at us through the mirror. This goes on for well over a minute or two as we're both sat silent in his car, unsure as to what was going to happen. He wasn't looking at the reg plate or anyhting.... he was just STARING at us.
None of us moved for a good few minutes, as I say....
Eventually the guy must have bottled it and reversed away awkwardly into the distance.
Come to think of it, it wasn't really road-rage... Just road staring...
(You probably had to be there...)
