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?

My road rage story, by pineappleunderthesea.A couple of years ago when I was on my Ps I was driving along the horror that is the highway which passes by several private schools in Perth during the after school rush. Mum in 4wd (need I say more about their driving?) screeches to a halt 10 odd metres early at the lights, and me while thinking wtf, why is she stopping so early, likewise slams on brakes. No impact, nothing, and I don't think our cars even touched. But two weeks later a police report arrives in the mail claiming that I damaged her vehicle, drove off ignoring her signal to pull over and a claim for $1000 to fix her bumper.
Not quite road rage, but there was quite a bit of rage involved when the report arrived before I calmed down and devised my grand master plan to screw her over.
My reply: "I didn't hit her, she was driving erratically and I didn't know that she wanted me to stop, I thought she was making threatening gestures so I didn't feel comfortable pulling over :( " (in a sincere teary vulnerable girl voice) plus showing the car, with nary a scratch to Mr Nice Policeman equalled a nice fine for her for filing a frivolous report.
No length apart from that of the story told here, but I've never had a rupturing like I just had in my whole life :( The first time shore do hurt.
