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?

Transit LoveliesI managed to annoy a couple of builders once. probably cos i hadnt got their heightened level of foresight so hadnt got into the fast lane about a mile before their right hand turn.
I "encourage" them to move but they don't. Annoyed, myself and about 10 other drivers undertake them - they really WERE in the way! Got to the turning in no time, take my right, check behind, oh look who's following me.
Me heart rate edges up a tad, then a lot as i see a nice healthy, heart wrenching queue ahead. i stop. he stops. i worry. he jumps out of the van and legs it at me full steam ahead - we're talking mel gibson in braveheart like charge - I panic, its all going wrong.
god then recognises the idiocy of this particular vanman creation and queue ahead happily turns into free flowing traffic. This in turn forces said builder to try a pull a quick stop and turn to get back in his van to chase me. watching this i cant help but burst out laughin as he falls on his arse mid turn watching me casually flipping the Vs and driving merrily on me way. it was lilke watching people do that nasty shuttle test they made you do at school.
Not quite sure what he intended to do to me when he got to my car. the way he was moving i think he was planning on just ramming his head throught the rear window. i really do despair at humanity sometimes.
