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 Greek to meWorking and driving in Greece, I was in a perpetual state of road rage and collated my own version of the Greek Highway Code:
1) Overtaking on blind corners while going up hill is OK, but only if you are drunk or driving a bus.
2) There is no speed limit.
3) Every driver is entitled to make up his own rules of the road and judge others by them.
4) Turning on your hazard lights means that you can do absolutely anything you like (reversing up a one-way street, stopping on the motorway, abadoning your car to buy cigarettes etc.).
5) The indicator should never, ever be used.
6) Traffic lights are intended for 'other drivers'.
7) You may park anywhere and in any manner you like.
8) The volume of your exhaust is much more important than noticing other road users.
9) MEN - Your car is nothing more than an expression of your masculinity. WOMEN - The car exists only to make you look good.
10) It is better to drive two metres than walk.
