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?

Road idiocyI was working as a rep in a small resort on a Greek island. The various bar owners and restauranteurs told me that I would always eat and drink for free in their places - if I told the tourists to go there.
One night I enticed a trio of girls into a bar and drank free whisky until the early hours. At around 3.00 AM, I offered to drive them back to their hotel on the outskirts of town.
Next day when I saw them on the beach, they said I'd been very drunk. I denied this. Hadn't I managed to drive them home, and then myself to a hill village a few kilometers away?
"Yeah," they said, "but you did the whole journey in first gear. Without lights."
Just went to the restaurants after that.
