Road Rage
Last 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?

car bocking
when i was about 14, my best friend vik and i were hanging out in my bedroom at about 8pm at night. we heard the front door as my parents arrived home, and then, to our intense glee, we heard my dad drag my brother and his friend into the lounge and yell at them to sit down.
we promptly lay on the carpet and pressed our ears to the floor.
from the outraged howling, we realised my brother and his friend chris had been bocking cars with stones. they had been thrilled to hit one really big shiny car and smash the headlights. turning into the dark park road where we live, they had legged it.
unfortunately, the driver had also turned into the park road. his powerful remaining headlight shone down the hedge and picked out the two boys hiding there. the driver jumped out, easily outstripped the fleeing boys, and banged their heads together.
yes, it was my dad. of all the thousands of poseur cars in cheshire, they had managed to aim, fire and smash my dad's car...
it was about 3 weeks before my brother saw the light of day. tee hee.
