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?

CherryB, don't know if that is an urban myth
but it is very like a scene from "Fried Green Tomatoes" a sickly sweet US chick-flick starring Kathy Bates (look it up on IMDB). Kathy's character is in a supermarket car park, about to reverse into a parking space, when some pretty young girls in a smaller car, sneak into the place. When the Bates character complains, the young girls say something along the lines of "we can do this because we're young and quick". Bates then calmly gets into her much larger than theirs station wagon and proceeds to smash into the smaller car. She then leans out of her window and says something along the lines of "I can do this because I am heavily insured". Sorry to piss on your bonfire but a good story nonetheless.
