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?

Stupid woman cow driver wrecked my tyres!
Dual carriageway, little Ka or something similarly crap in left hand lane, I am in right hand lane and going faster, she was putting lipstick on. I step on gas to speed up and get past as I want to be in her lane and she is dawdling at 50 and I am doing 70/75.
Suddenly, she clocks me coming past (having put down her lipstick) she floors it, we draw level she looks across and I smile and make a little gesture that generally indicates my wish to get in front of her at which point to my horror she swings the wheel towards me causing me to so same and scratching my wheel and tyre against the foot high central reservation. I submit and fall in behind her as she jumps into my lane and turns right.
I take the left at the roundabout and park up at work to discover my tyre hissing air, the wheels are locked on with locking nuts that my twunt of an ex has lost the key for, I have to have all 4 wheels drilled off and buy new locking nuts and one new tyre. This was about 7 years ago and it all costs me £120 and loads of grief from the ex, as it's all MY fault of course.
As a result I have very little faith in women drivers, especially those that drive their 4x4's to Eddlesborough school
