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 so much road rage but...i was told a funny story my a mate of my dads in the pub last week or at least it was funny after a few pints.
back in the swinging sixties my dads mate Ken had bough a rusty old morris minor for his first car and was driving it home for the first time.
now from Ken's description this car was in REALLY bad condition, mot's were introducted in 1960 but this car hadn't been used for a while and looked like an obsolute death trap but it was all he could afford and he needed a car for his new job.
so que journey home and Ken has to take this morris minor down a steep hill on the way back to his house, now the hill in question is really steep and has a roundabout and a petrol station at the bottom.
Ken gets about 3/4 of the way down the hill using the brake heavily when theres a snapping noise and the brake pedal goes limp.
luckily no-one infront of him but now he's flying down the remainder of the hill heading for the round-about.
Ken hits the roundabout at about 60mph flys round it and comes off the first exit striaght into the petrol station hitting one of the pump stands.
no fire or anything but the owner of the petrol station comes charging out red faced hurling abuse, gets near to Kens door looking like he's about to kill him shouting "your going to have to pay for that" pulls on the morris minors door handle and the door falls off que Ken replying "well your going to have to pay for that mate!"
like i said probably funnier with a few pints in you and told properly in person but its good to share! :)
