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?

There I was right....coming home on the south circular in London, when I hit a queue of traffic before joining the A2. I decided to scream down the lane on the left and cut everyone up on the right, like the kind gentleman I am. As I pulled in I didn't notice the traffic ahead of me had stopped and I had to slam the brakes on quite hard. This (on top of cutting him up) wound the bloke behind me up no end. As we turned the corner onto the A2 he motioned me to unwind the window. Cracking it about an inch I ask him how he was doing. He replied with the question, 'How would you like it if I cut your fucking thoat'.
Thinking for a second or two for a witty retort, I decided not to get him any angrier and let him know I was probably ok for that thanks. He turned right and sped off towards Eltham.
Lucky I decided against the witty retort as I was then stuck on the A2 for about 2 1/2 hours . Enough time for him to acomplish the before mentioned throat cutting.
