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?

BazzaI don't think that you're actually agreeing with me. As far as I can see it's actually the "queue jumpers" who are doing it properly. You are supposed to use all three lanes right up to the point where one of them stops. Going down to two lanes before that just increases the length of the tailback and possibly fouls up the previous junction causing hassle for loads of other people.
As for people who let those "queue jumpers" in, I reckon we could do with more drivers like that. Years of driving an old slow car has taught me to be fairly phlegmatic about letting people go in front of me. Frankly I'm amazed by how dangerous and selfish people can be just to shave 5 seconds off their journey time. That's one of the few things that drives me almost to road rage. Top of my list however is people who don't indicate at roundabouts. Honestly it's so twunting stupid! Just because you can't be bothered to move a finger about 2 inches it means that nobody else around the roundabout can move because they don't know what you're twunting well doing! Why can't people see that they're causing other people huge amounts of hassle while actually saving no time or energy themselves, aarrrrrrrgh!
