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?

mad witnessmy friend sarah was driving through a didsbury (manchester for you southerners) car park. a woman reversing her mummy-mobile 4x4 out of a space too quickly did not see her and reversed into the side of her. lots of witnesses so sarah picked one and took his details.
a few weeks later, and the woman is denying it. even though there is a 4x4 shaped hole in sarah's clio passenger door. so sarah rings the witness for a statement. and it turns out she's picked the weirdo in the carpark.
"no, sorry, i can't help you," he said sorrowfully. "i'm on tour as a backing singer for kylie minogue in new york at the moment."
"but you've just answered a didsbury phone number," said sarah blankly. "and kylie minogue is being treated for cancer and isn't on tour......"
"sorry, gotta go," said the witness. "i'm on for the next number." and hung up.
more road bafflement than rage, but it amused me anyway!
