hmm, my accident in the scoob might qualify, I was certainly enraged afterwards.
Travelling back from camber, there is nice bit of straight road before you get into a village, just after the turn off for Tenterden. There are two cars in front of me, and in front of that is a large lorry carrying hay. First car overtakes, no problems, second car pulls out, no indication, crosses white line, then pulls back in, ok, I'll wait I think. Car pulls out again, no indication, right over the white line, still they pull back in, I'm a little wary, so put the ol indicator on, pull out, and pickup speed. next thing I know is this bloody orion is pulling out right in front of me!!!! not happy, no indication, nothin, I slam brakes on, end up grazing along hedge. bloody orion buggers off!. me not happy, storm up the road and the orion pull in. woman gets out of drivers seat, big earings, dodgy hair, voice to curdle milk, you know the type (begins with P and ends in ikey!) and starts giving me the greifabout me driving too fast, did I not see her indicate, etc.. etc.. I'm fuming. Her ***** of a brother/boyfriend/arsehole gets out and gives me some verbal. Pikey woman then says to him 'get his reg number we'll find out who he is and sort it out' Obviously I did not give them my details. There's no damage on thier car but loads on mine
Anyway, to top it all this bloke comes over, looks at the damage and with a grin says 'nice car mate' I nearly lamped the ******, told him 'yeah it was until your ***** of a woman pulled out' he was not best impressed.
anyway, went to cop shop, reported it, sucked teeth and did not claim on insurance, and paid out my own pocket.
few weeks later, copper turns up at my office, wants to know what went on, spoke to him, he said he'd spoken to the woman and his words were 'she's rather acidic isn't she?' agreed with him. He said that there is no other witness so he/police won't procede with matter. Here's the best bit though, he said that if I was to claim on the insurance then here are their details, this was knowing full well that I'd stated I was not claiming, he said he'd not given them my details and it was up to me what I did with this information. Suffice to say I was very, very tempted to facelift a certain orion, but I did not.
As for other road rage incidents, recent one was, coming up A21 before xmas, scobby overtook me, I pulled out behind him, a nova with ***** in it pulls out right in front of him, he flashes, it pulls in, I follow behind scoob and nova pulls out right in front of me, I give it the full on morettes and fogs, get finger back, so I keep the lights on, nova pulls in, so I speed up, he tries to get past and pull in front, and he's weaving as though he's going to run me into the central reservation, then the ***** pulls out and gives me full beam, I just floor it and leave the stupid ***** behind.
man, there are some right plonkers on the road (me included!

Right, here we go again, the Hells Angels story from the 70's:-
Brick-****-House Lorry Driver sitting in the local Transport Cafe eating his breakfastS.
Eleven Hells Angels pull up and wander into the cafe with chains, axes, knuckle dusters, etc.
The gang leader wanders up to the lorry driver and tips ALL the salt over his brekkie, his mate comes up and empties ALL the pepper over his brekkie, third one squirts the ketchup all over it too, fourth to eleventh walk by and spit over his meal.
The lorry Driver quietly gets up, all 7 foot and 25 stone of him, he looks over the Hells Angels, smiles, turns and walks out to his Artic.
The gang go over to the kitchen, the leader turns to the terrified waiter and says, 'he wasnt much of a man - was he?'
The waiter turns to the gang leader and says,............

Driving along minding me own business,like you do.In a 30,parked cars,kids running about,hospital entrance(where the missus works),approaching traffic lights,start to ease down.Rep(prat) in Mondeo decides he needs to be one car in front.He starts his overtake then realises everyone has stopped for the lights.With nowhere to go and stuck in oncoming lane he cuts me well up.NEARLY kerb me anthracites,now that is not on.
Express my displeasure in the customary manner.Horn & look to the heavens.Is he sorry?Is he hell.Gives ME the finger.
Local knowledge is a wonderfull thing.I know the lights have a long red my side.So handbrake on,engine off.
Mirror,signal manoeuvre.
As I approach,looming in his rear-view,he starts attacking the buttons of his door locks like a demented chicken.Then sits back smugly and folds his arms.
His face was a picture as I reached through the open sunroof (OOPS)and slapped him on the head,alternating the words of my sermon on bad driving habits with slaps.
Dont SLAP overtake SLAP when not SLAP safe to SLAP do so SLAP
Walk back to car,lights change,we all move off.Older & maybe wiser?

I take it he was a middle aged balding chap or one of those IT geeks with Gold wheels??
You must have clocked him as he came past?? you wouldnt want to walk all smart-4rsed up to a car only to have the driver get out and give YOU a slapping???
Nice one!! sunroof ............. funny!

Hi Pete
Yes the sunroof was his second mistake of the day.
It happened a while back when I still had the fearlessness of youth.And the sense of a fool.
I was doing Wado Ryu Sports Karate(semi contact)which teaches you that each fight "Some you win,some you loose" You go in with an open mind and trust in your training.
Also you learn to be off on your toes at the first sign of defeat!

Not wishing to change the thread too much,but your biker story.
I was in the all night cafe at Marks Tey (A12)when a guy came in with a little iddy biddy kitten tucked in the front of his leathers.
He went up to the young girl at the counter and asked her if she would like to stroke the sleeping kitten.Which she did.He then asked if he could have a saucer of warm milk 'cos it was thirsty.
She went and got it and put it on the counter.Thinking "These big tough bikers are not so bad after all" Unknown to her he had found the kitten run over on the road and only had the front half down his jacket.
He pulled it out,slammed its face into the milk and yelled "Drink kitty,drink"
Gives life and death a whole new perspective.
