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?

'J-plate' diversI'll admit, when it comes to screaming at people and flicking them the finger from the safety of my car, I'm a bit of an obnoxious twunt. To my credit, though, I'm always patient with learner drivers, since I remember all too well how nervous I was when I started to drive.
However.
I have abso-cocking-lutely no pissing respect for any learner driver that puts their L-plate on backwards. What. The fuck. Could make anyone so friggin dim is just beyond me.
And it's all to easy to imagine them making the mistake in the first place, isn't it? You can all to easily picture them putting the damn thing up on the back window, from the inside of course, and thinking 'Wurrrrl, it reads like an L here to me... I don't see why the fact I'm holding it backwards will change that fact'. I see dozens of the bastards on the roads, so I can't just write it off as dyslexia.
Here's the kicker: surely anyone with that lack of lateral thinking should be banned from the roads? "Sorry to pull you over sir, but I noticed your L-plate was affixed the wrong way around. Do you have any documentation testifying to the fact that you have some form of dyslexia but are otherwise perfectly suitable to operate this vehicle? No? How about Russian, are you Russian? Not that either, eh? Well then, no driving for you, ever, chummy, you're too thick."
