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?

Other peoples road rage / inability to driveI have to, if I'm going to the office, drive between Junctions 18 and 20 of the m6 northbound every day - one of the most dangerous stretches of road in the UK.
Yesterday 3 lorries went over the central reservation and caused it to be closed for 1/2 the day. Today, at almost the same part of the road, a car went over the central reservation which again caused it to be closed.
Good old Dad called both times to see if I was on the motorway / caught up in it / was ok.
Turns out I was actually in bed, having been hitting snooze since 7am, and his calls woke me up. Thanks to his fatherly concern and my knowledge of the effect of said closures on the surrounding roads I managed an extra couple of hours in bed on each of the past two days.
