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?

Ooh, I've got anothermore recently, driving to work, there's a few cars coming the other way, waiting to turn right, across my path.
I flash for the front guy to go, of the course the guy behind reckons he'll make it (echoes of previous post).
I'm going at a fair whack and have to slam on, skidding all over the road in a quite impressive way.
In the meantime, he's realised he's not going to make it and decides that stopping is the best plan. Not floor it, maybe he'll just clip me, no, just stop right in my path.
So, he's come to a halt blocking my path, his arse is blocking all the cars behind him, and I've stopped in a cloud of burning rubber inches from his passenger door.
What do I do? Again, I start clapping, he flips and starts getting out of the car. I start cheering. He starts towards me, then suddenly realises that he's in the wrong and there are at least ten cars all blocked by him, all watching him.
I'm sure he actually shrank as he sheepishly got back into his car and drove off.
