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?

Not a road rage incident.......but something that has always caused a certain amount of rage.
Cars with green L or green P signs. Forget which it is right now, dementia kicking in as I'm approaching 30.
Why? Either you can drive, or you can't. If the test is so crappy that people who are told "here you go, you can now drive a massive potential deathtrap with almost no monitoring at all" and yet they need some kind of symbol that they're still shit, then there's a fundamental flaw with the system.
You wouldn't feel happy about seeing a surgeon with one on his jacket, or a pilot with one on his plane, so why do we allow people to take such a cursory test where they back round a corner, read a number plate from a foot and a half away, to be in charge of something that costs a staggering number of lives in this country.
Bastards!
