I once witnessed a fist fight over a driving incident. It was when I was younger. We had to stop because the fight was blocking the road. It was the worst fight EVER. I think the two men ended up shaking hands which made it all very embarrassing.
Just had some road rage..... Page 3

Ewwwww that is embarrassing.
I was sitting in my buddies truck once when some kid in his daddies BMW cut us off then stopped abruptly for a red light. My friend got out of the truck walked over to the car and punched the guy in the side of the face once (without saying a word) and then got back into his truck and drove off once the light turned green like nothing happened.
Sean has anger issues.

In LA you can combine the two, no problem.
I'm generally a good pedestrian and make cars wait for me at crossings and stuff but that bastard last week still has me angry. Unfortunately I didn't get his number but it was a very distinctive vehicle. If I see it parked somewhere ............

How's your knee?

Not too bad thanks. Think there is some sort of ligament damage. I'm driving again though.

Did you catch who did it?

No Dolly - as mentioned here.

I was surprised that this bloke looked to be in his mid 30's, his was so slow. People like him deserve to be called a c**t.
Last month I agreed to help one of my cousins move house. I had never previously been to the town where she lived, let alone her house, so I drove slowly through a residential area, keeping an eye out for the turn-off to her street. A large SUV roared up behind me and the fellow driving it immediately beeped his horn, so I pulled over to the side of the road to let him pass. Rather than quickly drive past, he paused and shouted something at me, but I couldn't hear him as my windows were up and I was playing a Pixies CD.
Patience is a virtue. Whenever I get stuck behind a slow driver I simply wait for a safe opportunity to overtake. There's absolutely no point in getting angry about these things or risking an accident. I am irked by groups of cyclists taking up a lane on busy mountainous country roads though, as one can turn a corner and suddenly encounter a slow-moving group of them and have to hit the brakes. I fear they will be wiped out by a speeding truck some day. I'm also irked by drivers who suddenly cut in, especially when they don't indicate. But I don't get angry with slow drivers and call them c**ts.

Actually the operative word there is "Limit". That mean MAXIMUM - not MINIMUM.
As a pedestrian in London, it's not the car, van, truck or taxi drivers who get on my nerves, it those bastard cyclists constantly jumping red lights and flying through Zebra Crossings at high speed.
I swear at them all the time, but not one has yet stopped to confront me. They're both bastards and cowards.

I am a cyclist, but mostly a pedestrian. I've pushed a cyclist off his bike at a crossing before now, the bastard.
