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 strictly what was meant by the questionI was crossing one arm(?) of a crossroad near my house recently, and was aware of a car moving in the same direction as me. This car had its indicator on to turn right, which was OK, since I was most definitely on the left. I stepped out, and realised that said car was becoming immensely close at an alarming rate, and in fact turning towards me. I ended up sort of hugging the bonnet, in fact, because the driver failed to stop in time.
Pissed that I had almost taken a knock through no fault of my own, I slapped the guy's bonnet with both hands as hard as I could, pointed at his indicators, and screamed words along the lines of "What the fuck is wrong with you, you retarded twat?!".
At this point I realised that the driver was actually a 7ft tall black giant. I'm about 5'10", skinny, white, and would obviously be hard pressed to hold my own even against someone matching my physical description.
Instead of pounding me into a fine mist as I was expecting, he looked like he was about to cry, mouthed apologies, and looked at the floor (but didn't get out, haha).
All in all, a surprise victory for me.
