Hard shoulder fight!!!

[attym3]

Just travelling along the M18 and up in the distance an Audi A4 cut straight from lane 3 to the hard shoulder followed by a small blue van(berlingo possibly?) they both got out and started stomping towards each other.
By this time I was along side and my view was blocked by a lorry. I'm pretty sure fisticuffs were going to be thrown!!

Be careful out there!!

They usually wimp out at the last second just when your expecting a bit of action.

Not an un common viewing prospect if you live near Slough....

Reminds me of an altercation at traffic lights between two elderly gents...



Unfortunately, as in a previous post, they saw sense.

Bloke in a Peugeot cut me up near Bluewater shopping centre. I lightly tapped the horn to make him aware of my presence and slight displeasure at being cut up by a 308SW. He and I, moments later, stopped at some lights. He got out of his car, shouted 'That's why I indicated' (as if indicating 1 micro-second before making a lane change somehow legitimises it, even in the face of oncoming traffic). He promptly jumped back in and raced off as though wanting to get away from me.

I am, it should be noted, powerfully built, and sit on the board of no less than 9 Fortune 500 companies.

I ensure I always have a can of Red Bull primed in the glovebox for such situations.

Is this going to turn into have you ever had a fight in traffic or something like that volume 2?
Well I called a van man a wker the other day.
There is my entry.

I got called a "nazi" at some traffic lights a couple of months ago when I took the 190e out - there, that was my entry

I use the old long stare works every time

To throw at the other person?

I like to blow kisses to road-ragers. It's not the reaction they were hoping for.

[jamei303]

Rule number 1 is never get out of the car.

i'll have to remember that one

[Pints]

A long stare and a disapproving shake of the head from me was enough to get some Bristolian so angry he got out of his stbox, marched over to my open window, and remonstrated with me.

Apparently I was lucky I had the wife and kids in the car with me, otherwise I was in a world of trouble.

[Kays vRS]

I called someone a nincompoop the other day. It took the edge off my anger

I did that once. The bloke went mental, like a monkey in a cage raging. I decided not to do that again (or get angry)- its escalation and provocation.

I too have come across this raging money type. I thought he was going to wrench the steering wheel off!

Reminds me so much of the old Harry Enfield skits

"Excuse me sir but did you know that I am considerably richer than yow"

Dont get me wrong, the physical aspect is one thing but the fact that your brought your profession into the topic made me smile. Suprised that you get time to post on PH with that much on your plate.

I once saw a Mercedes cut up a black Range Rover Sport, forcing the Range Rover to slam on his brakes and lock up. The traffic lights just ahead were red so when both cars stopped the guy gets out his Range Rover and kicked the side of the Mercedes making a fairly big dent...man gets out of Mercedes angrily then start shouting at Range Rover man. Range Rover man then puts Mercedes man in a headlock and start smashing his head against the boot of the Mercedes. Traffic lights went green, a couple of guys started running over to them to break it up so assume it stopped after we drove off.
