Do you want proof? I occasionally have two for the record, one where it should be and one on the forehead for special occasions!

I had some arsehole about 2" off the back bumper of my old rangey the once down a lane not wide enough for him to pass, lane was around 2 miles long. When we got to the end I gave him the brake test. stopped the car, got out locked it and walked off leaving him blocked in. Dunno what happened but he wasn't there 2 hours later when I went back. Couldn't have turned His seven series round so it must have been a bitch to reverse that far.

Rangey was a right snotter so was bothered by it gettingany damage but he must have realised so he didn't bother.

Ha de ha. Passive Protest, you know, when its far more irritating than violence!!!

I never get angry at people driving, i just laugh, ive seen people flash me and give hand signs for nothing other than overtaking them when its safe, but personally i never both. Im 19 stone of muscle, anyway so if someone did start and i was forced to fight back, i doubt id loose, well i wouldnt start the fight but if someone did try to attack me, id like to see them still be standing after trying it on.

I was witness to some pedestrian rage today . Some old biddy decided she would walk out in front of this poor fella in front of me today. He nearly knocked her over, I nearly went into the back of him and someone nearly went into the back of me. He wound his window down to ask her what the hell was she doing and she gave him a load of verbal and the old 2 fingered salute .

I don't know old people of today .

Nineteen stone of muscle takes more than time and hard work.

Worst I've done is slam my Scooby nose first into the side of an MG.. given it wasn't on purpose but my aim was to scare him
Have taken up many offers, feel stupid after but red mist takes over at the time.

Actually had a proper fist fight on Woodford High road, but that was after someone hit my car then sped off

Not me, but my bad tempered and very sturdy brother. I was about 9 and we were in his pride and joy, a Mk.4 Cortina Ghia As we drove along, a ******** walking along the pavement looked back at us passing, snorted up and launched the contents of his mouth and throat across the windscreen. My bro' calmly drove past taking the next left, left, and left again. As we once again approached the individual from behind he was somewhat startled by the fact that this shiny (except the smear on the screen) Cortina he had expressed his admiration for was approaching him, on the pavement. He wound up pinned to a wall by the front bumper whilst my bother educated him about respect for others and their property, compounding the lesson with a peach of a right hook which left him layed out on the bonnet. As we reversed away from the wall he slumped to the ground, and stayed there as we drove away. At 9 it was so exciting

This one time there was this truck behind me in the petrol station and it kept bumping me over and over for no reason so I just tried to ignore it and got into my car to drive off.

But an hour later its behind me again and tries to swerve me off the ravine. Fortunately my tyres are like brand new so I managed to grip on just. So then I drive really mega fast to this service station and decide to go to sleep because I was totally tired by the experience. But i wake up and realise it's a lorry park and crap the lorry is back right in front of me coming straight for me like a crazy metal dog. So I drive off full speed but the lorry is just too fast it has some kind of new engine or something i dunno.

So I take this shortcut through the pass to get away and swerve into a standstill back onto the road so that I am like a mile ahead of the truck. Then I jump out and pull an assault rifle out of the boot and when the lorry comes round the corner I spray it full of bullets..must have emptied about 7 clips into it and it skids off the road into a rock and explodes...but then the driver comes out and like he's what the hell are you doing im going to beat you up you ******....but I have no ammo left and have to resort to the fists

Fortunately a police car was nearby and so he got scared of fighting cuz I told him my brother works for the police..which is not true by the way..but he was totally gullible and just got back in his truck and was all reasonable...the truck wasnt too badly exploded.

that's the closest I have got to road rage except it didnt start on a road it started in a petrol station and ended up on the road.

Where to start lol, i'm on the road 8hrs a day so i see a lot of awful driving every day.
Just the other day i had some fella go all the way round the roundabout in the left hand lane without indicating, so i give him a little beep, and to my amazement watched him going crazy giving me hand signals and shaking his fists. It made me laugh, but a few years ago i probably would have followed him home.

I was out a month or so ago on a Sunday and saw a 911 ahead. I kept seeing him look back in his rear view and i could see he had a young blonde in his passenger seat so i knew he'd put his foot down. When we got to an open road he moved into the left hand lane and to my suprise he let me go past, then moved over into the right hand lane and sat right up my **** for about a mile through traffic. Once we came to another bit of open road i moved over and not suprisingly he overtook, then we came to a roundabout he indicated left and i was going back, as i raised my hand to wave he stuck his fingers up. I was shocked but thought, i'm not having that and swung all the way round the roundabout and back behind him. He looked pretty shocked and his previously smiling passenger was now pointing at him and shouting. We were now in a rural area and just cruising but we were obviously getting close to their house. I watched them try not to look in the rear view mirror for a few miles as they both sat in silence then turned off. Funnily enough he didn't even look round let alone do any hand signals.

There's a lot of nutters out there, and they usually come out in droves at weekends. If i let every stupid bit of driving i see get to me i'd be a walking time-bomb lol so i just chuckle to myself most of the time. I don't let BMW drivers wind me up any more, if you spot them early and stay back waiting for whatever stupid thing their about to do it doesn't come as much of a suprise.

My mother-in-law had a Laguna as a company car until recently. She'd regularly take us the 90 miles and back to visit her mum and i generally thought she was a good driver, i'd never noticed anything out of the ordinary.
She recently ordered a company BMW 3series, so i started joking with her that she needs to get used to people shouting at her on the road and she needs to practice pulling out on people. Within 5 minutes of her getting it and giving me a lift to the pub she had run a red light and pulled out on a guy on a roundabout.
What got me is she didn't even realise, but my brother in law who was also in the car said as soon as we got to the pub she drove like a crazy person.
A few days later and my other brother in law came round and said she had sat in the fast lane when the middle lane was empty holding up all the traffic for well over an hour. I thought it was a myth but recently it seems like the most obvious thing in the world that BMW's do something strange to their owners.

had some stupid old biddy in a merc, sitting behind me for miles with full beam on.... tried turning my lights on and off, hazards, fogs being flashed etc got so bad when we stopped in a queue of traffic i got out and stood in front of her car pointing and shouting....

finally the penny dropped.....

Mart

tailgated on a dc, for driving at 40 in a 40 limit,and then given the high beam for a few hundred yards...., all because the inside lane was blocked, and i wasn't accelerating into the 60 zone...


damm shame i have a smog monster, that puffs a bit of soot when nailed

My dad did it once, following me down the local bypass we over took someone and as we went back into the inside lane the guy questioned my dads personal habits.
So we get to the traffic lights which are on red and I look in my mirror to see my dad get out of his car and go over to the blokes car... I get out to officiate when my dad starts punching this guy through the open window repeatedly in the face.
My dad then fixes his suit and calmly walks back to the car.
Man decides he wants a rematch so throws his door open and gets out. I slam the door into him a couple of times (he was mahoosive when he stood up) and suggested it would be in his interests to get back in the car and put this down to experience...
He did and we all drove off calmly... So whilst I didnt instigate it, I've been party to it...
