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?

FrankspencerThe cycle paths might be knacked where you live, but they're top notch in my neck of the woods. Besides, why risk being flattened by a French truck driver trying to negotiate down a fold in the map, than having to avoid the odd pothole?
I'm with you on the fuckwit parking in the cycle lane thing though. 'Not being a fuckwit' should be a tested caveat before being issued with a driving licence.
I think this harps back to the old chestnut of all cyclists hating motorists and vice versa*. Now I'm a motorist, I am contractually obliged to wish mangled pain upon the selfish twunts riding two abreast whilst the traffic queues behind them in seething malaise.
Don't even get me started on cyclists with black jackets on, pedaling along at night without lights.
