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?

Pikey bikey splatMore road sarcasm than a full on frenzy...
Walking up main road one day, lad of about 13 on one of those ridiculously tiny motorbikes, literally the size of a toy, but going a fair old clip from behind me.
Wallop, lad tries to pull wheely (the dick, the bike's about 18 inches long) and manages to land most ungracefully, flat on his face, frankly scaring the shit out of me because I only saw him at the very last second.
Just as I'm wondering which pocket my phone's in for the dutiful ambulance, the lad picks himself up, and is met with the words:
[deadpan Salford accent] "Ya clever bastard"
from the taxi driver behind him.
"fuck off" is the erudite reply, before trundling off into the sunset with his ludicrous bike.
