Happened many a time.
Finest moment was when some old codger, I mean 70 years old plus, tried to drag me out of my car for some unknown reason. He was in a serious serious rage and I was just laughing because it felt like a window shop mannequin which smelled of piss and vitamins was trying to fight me.

I can picture what probably happens 90% of the time. Two drivers get out their cars, start chest bumping each other waiting for the other to take first hit so they can call the police. Both drivers want to play the 'self defence' card so no punches are actually thrown. You get back into your car shook up a little but all rage is gone.

Mega roid rage on my part once..
Mrs just got new car, and stalled at traffic lights..
Efore she could turn it on bloke behind led his horn down. So she panicked and ended up stalling again, I put my hand up I apologised then we went. He then cut infront of us, causing her to slam brakes on. Stickin his finger up calling ME names for some reason.
Next traffic lights I got out and confronted him about it, his suddenly lost his voice and wouldn't een roll down the window

I'm quite a hot head and the mrs hated it,
If some one asks me to pull over ill be straight over.
A guy almost ran me of th road so I called him a cunt, he procedded to tell me to pull over etc.
he blocked the road so I jumped out and he drove off,
Followed him till he got home and me and my mate gave him a good slap about,
Needless to say the next day I was carted down to the police station to be cautioned for assult lol,
And I'd do it all over again in all honesty.

Lol Matthew.
It's funny when they give you abuse but too scared too stand up to you.
Another 'true story bro'.
I was heading home down 50mph i was doing the speed limit and a car came tear arseing up behind me, so i carry on he went to over take but me being a twat wouldnt let him as it's known for bikers, he flashed me etc he then indicated to turn off as i carried straight on, before he flashed me once more. So i slammed my brakes on spun round and chased him caught up with him and flashed my lights and signalling him to pull over must of followed him for about 2 miles just wouldnt pull over. 
In my eyes if they are big enough to give you shit then they should be big enough to follow it through, yes might get into a fistycuffs (never actually been in this situation or known anyone in that situation) but that's life.

If someone is going faster than you, even if you're doing the speed limit, let them past, you aren't going quick enough.

The only time I've really lost it was when I was with my sister on L plates and it was a similar situation to Generation.
Had someone get out and come for me once in the mazda when I beeped him for cutting me up at a roundabout. I had the roof and windows down and the doors unlocked, never done them up so quick

Had someone I knew get out their car, instantly got out and grabbed him by the throat and told him both him and his mate in the back of his car were getting it.
The reality was both of them were twice my size and would have squashed me but the adrenalin was going at that point

I was going down a road that was double parked in my transit, some skin head in a clio was comming the other way and thought I was going to stop, I didnt though and he didnt, we went past with mm`s to spare, he called me a wanker so I called him a cunt. he stopped and jumped out, so I stopped. Till he was about ft from the van then I drove off... and stopped again. he came running up the road again. so I stopped... then drove off again he fell for it a 3rd time till I fucked off. I was pissing my sides, must have wound him right up

saves so much hassle. no tailgating and even get the odd thanks for being kind, rather than a wanker sign
last night i was going to pick the missus up at midnight, roads were dead apart from 2 cars on an a-road (2 lanes wide) both doing exactly the same speed (65mph), side by side
instead of the car in the outside lane pulling in and letting me past, they decided to just block the road off.
whats the point? they then booted it off, i dropped down a couple of gears and caught this merc back up, and they still wouldn't pull over even though there wasn't a car on the inside lane
ended up undertaking them and shook my head. not worth calling them wankers or anything because that's what they want you to do.

Had a truck drove get out once. There was a queue at a junction on the M40 which I wasn't expecting so sailed past the beginning and just jumped in a gap in front of him - not a very obnoxious manouvre but the fucker got out and started banging on the window, went to open the door too but they lock automatically when I first pull away. Queue moved on, I drove on and I guess the truck driver looked rather stupid standing with his back to lane 1 on the M40 holding up all the traffic.
Had a van driver get out the other day in Leamington Spa too. Was indicating right to go into a side road to reverse back out and turn around and he went to overtake me while I was pulling in - not so sensible. He wound his window down and starting speaking like some working class commoner at me so I told him to fuck off. He got out and spat crisps all over my car  I reversed back out and drove off leaving him looking a bit foolish holding the traffic up too.
I don't get why people get so agressive behind the wheel - I'm sure if you videoed people when they cut you off/drive up your arse/etc and show it to them at a later date they'd be a bit embarrassed.

I dont believe a word of that, or at least the bits about you turning round and chasing him and him not pulling over.
Regardless if that hypothetical scenario actually happened, then a lot of people would have probably dragged you out the car for acting like that.
As John said let them past

Why would you go out of your way to chase someone who flashed you because you were being a prick? If you know you're being a prick, don't go mental when they agree with you.

he's probably annoyed at the fact the other guy had superior tyres on his vehicle.
and wind deflectors.
and mudflaps.
and a bonnet bra.

Man on my tail in a Saab
I let him past then get on his tail
Then as i need to come off motorway he does the same infront of me braking hard
He gets out at the red and kicks off, i kinda just said nothing
He says if you wasnt wearing glasses i would have punched you in the face
Van behind beeps him to get out the way as the lights turn green
He drives of
Welsh fucker with a lanyard and daddy issues
Note to anyone prone to road rage wear glasses

He just squeezed through without looking at me
