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?

I love drivingTrying to get to that eden project thing through 10 miles of traffic jam, when we approach a roundabout. Big two lane one.
I'm on my way around, slowly because the roads are so snarled up, and decide to let a lady out. Off she trots and I can see a twat behind her who so obviously is going to try and squeeze out behind her. Now if he wasn't being a twat I'd gesture for him to go, but he was so I sped up a little to ensure he was going to very nearly go into the side of me. He still goes for it and gets a BLAAAT from the horn, inches from his ear as he barely makes it through. He's looking at me as if I'm in the wrong, so looking right at him I starting applauding shouting "Yes, Brilliant Mate!".
Oh they love that. If there's one thing bad drivers like, it's being appreciated.
Instant red mist from him. He floors it screaming indecipherables as he goes off around the roundabout. I pull off and rejoin the back of the traffic jam on the other side of the roundabout.
I then noticed I could still hear his car screaming away in 1st gear, looked in the wing mirror to see him hurtling back around the roundabout, still mouthing away. as he passes, he somehow managed to turn too sharply (possibly because he was looking at me), scrape his lovely alloys on the big kerb in the middle , then fucks his suspension as he somehow half mounts the kerb and fall back off again like a outtake from the Dukes of Hazzard. I thought he was going to come around again for an encore, but his girlfriend must had a word with him.
Good job the traffic wasn't moving because I couldn't stop laughing for 5 minutes.
