Ah, road rage. Always a pleasure to behold.
One of my experiences of this. A car and a minivan directly behind me were having a bunfight about who had the right of way to merge into a single lane. Minivan lost, but then proceeded to drive down the wrong side of the road beside the other car for 1 km with horn blaring, lights flashing, gesticulations and swearing. Finally pulls in behind other car when the traffic comes to a standstill, he gets out and approaches the other car swearing, screaming "My daughter is in the car" amongst a tirade of abusive and foul language and hitting the drivers window with an aluminium flashlight. As we were going nowhere and thought the other driver could use some support, I jumped out and told the knob that his driving was the biggest danger to his daughter and it was about time he grew up. Well, that didn't go down well with the bogan or his mrs and they both rounded on me as well. Luckily, the traffic started to move again so jumped in the car and was away. The knob pulled up beside me for a spray, gave him a return volley before we parted ways. The other driver gave me a smile and a big thumbs up afterwards.
Some people really need to learn some semblance of self-control. I always thought it was extremely ironic that his behaviour was of far greater danger to his family than any danger during merging (the incident that sparked his brain snap and where he, according to the rules of the road, should have given way in the first place).
