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?

Difficult child reminded me... Karma
Girl friend on mine driving home "carefully" after the pub, pissed, got t-boned by an off duty cop. Squad car arrives, throws the off duty into the back and breathalyses me mate. She's duly summoned to appear in court, charged with drunk driving and told if she pleads guilty will lose the licence for 3 months but otherwise could be fucked. Pleads guilty, loses licence, thanks.
Enter stage left - one off duty cop.
Takes her to court for wrecking his life as a result of driving drunk, remember she pleaded guilty...
Loses squillions and has to change her life to pay him off.
Shortly afterward his new replacement car burst into flames in the driveway of his house. Much running around but eventually insurance company gives him a new car.
Shortly afterward this new car burst etc. etc... (involves more flames).
Once more replaced.
Once more spontaneous combustion.
Even when my mate left the scene and moved to a different part of the country flames were occasionally seen in the distance licking the night skys. The cop eventually transferred out west but guess what!!!
For years after any means of transport he acquired went up in flames. (No animals were hurt or injured during this story).
God. You can't beat a good grudge every now and then, and a wide circle of pyromaniac friends...
