Why would you even attempt to do anything against a twit with a knife?  :whistle:

I just slow down gently so if they do go into the back of me it's not as bad.

Really not worth stamping on the brakes, using the horn or giving the finger these days as I have found out fairly recently.

Best to breathe and let it go.

Why what happened?

Nothing with me, a mate did it going into Croydon and had a knife pulled out. My mate got the better of the bloke and awaiting a court date.

So now I just kinda think, would it be worth getting stabbed over?
your mate should have stuck the knife up the guys arse   :laugh: but then its him that gets charged

Think the bloke held it up to him so he grabbed his wrist and thumped him one.

Fight occurs, held him with another mate in the car and the police came. All three in handcuffs. Stupid really.

Where all my moneys went.

Exactly, every time I get angry with another driver's stupidity I end up stewing over it for ages...it's just not worth it.  Now I just let things slide.

The tail-gating on the motorway and subsequent traffic congestion does wind me right up though.  Especially annoys me when there are Matrix signs saying "40mph" or something, which 99.9% of drivers pay no attention to, and then when those drivers doing 80mph still approach the slow traffic they find it helpful to put on their hazard lights, warning everyone behind.
