Road Rage
Last 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?

He had it coming...
I failed my driving test twice, admittedly the first time because I went all batshit crazy and panicked.
But the second time, well that's a story. I was failed because I was overtaken by a builders pickup doing about 60 in a residential school district with lots of lovely 20 mph signs everywhere. Yeah "Failure to maintain the proper flow of traffic" - instant fail.
When I found out I gave that fat string vest wearing examiner an earful, probably didn't help me any but made me feel better. I swear being trapped in an old V reg Corsa with a sweaty, farting old man is not an experience I ever want to relive.
