OH is not a violent man, but on one occasion he very nearly assaulted a 'sevices' maintenance worker. |

I've committed road rage twice. Once when we were at a junction, and a female cyclist came alongside (I was a passenger). |

My o.h. never locks the car door unless I am with him, when I activate the locks. I would never drive anywhere without locked doors. |

Similar thing happened to my friend. He had a Citroen estate at the time, with a towing hook. He was just about to sell it (would only have been for scrap), so, when we stopped at a roundabout and 2 lads in the car behind failed to stop in time, nudging us, my friend wasn't too bothered, and just waved. |

OH got run off the M11 today by a car transporter.He ended up on the hard shoulder.OH had pulled in ,in front of the transporter but said there was lots of room and hadn't pulled in suddenly.Horns ,lights going and then the transporter right up his backside.I think OH thought the safest thing to do was just to get onto the hard shoulder and let this maniac carry on.He made a bit of a joke about it but I think it shook him up :-( |

At a time when life in Baghdad was peaceful thanks to the terror regime (?) in charge I was driving a Volvo 4WD truck, a model never sold in the UK but a bit like a Defender on steroids. At the rear it had a large hook for a winch. It also had a reverse gear in the same place as 1st is usually found. I had a bad habit of going off from the lights in reverse ... lots of honking. |

We just recently had a similar incident to Barbra. Driving down towards the car park in our town and a chap came hurtling down a side road looking as though he was going to come straight out so OH stopped. The other chap slammed his brakes on with a screech at the end of his side road and when OH waved him out he drew alongside, wound down his window and shouted "I was going to stop you stupid ********". I saw OH's hand going to the window switch and said "Just don't bother, let him have the stress" so OH drove on. The fellow looked a right idiot shouting to himself in the middle of the road. |

Many moons ago, when I was a van driver, a new picture of a roundabout had been painted on the road in Midhuest. |

Next time she does this switch you sidelights on and off quickly making her think you are braking but just carry on driving as normal, :-D it does work. If of course she continues to do this report her.**M**. |

I would not be happy either if I was you. As you live in a village I wonder if this lady is already known to the local police. You could make a general inquiry with them. |
