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?

I have a good oneBack in 99 I was labouring on a building site, helping to build a retirement village in Wiltshire. On this day I was using a dump truck to move topsoil to make pretty lawns. I had just dumped a load, and had to very carefully reverse around a bend, two wheels on the path,trying not to mash the brand new lighting bollards. Some suppliers had turned up whilst I was dropping the load and, seeing a nice empty spot had parked to drop theirs. Unfortunately, they had parked on the pinch point of this bend. I had to reverse the dumper right into the rear corner of their truck to avoid damage to my employer's lighting, and given that the rear quarter of a dump truck is somewhat sturdier than an Iveco flatbed I turned that portion of their truck into a metal crepe. Supplier knobhead in hardhat came across shouting the odds and ready to start a fight, until I pointed out the large 'No Parking' sign right in front of his windscreen. So very satisfying.
