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?

All about the timing...A few years back there was some big roadworks on that car park of a road called the M25. The stretch had a 50 MPH limit and was down to 2 lanes.
One night, quite late, driving home from Wales (About 6 hours!), one lane is full of lorries heading to Dover or the Channel Tunnel, the other is quite quiet, so I take the quiet lane and sit happily at 50 in the roadworks.
Next thing I know there is this twunt right up my back flashing his lights and indicating (personal hate of mine). This goes on for about 6 miles - there was no safe gap in the slow traffic and I want gonna break the law to please some gimp!
Just as I see a gap I hatch a plan to get my own back, and just as I pull over Gimp puts his foot down and speeds off. The next thing, 2 flashes from the speed camera hidden behind a bridge with the chap sticking his finger out at it.
Oh how I laughed...
