Well I would claim to do the same, but then again; I'm also safely sat behind a keyboard.
I`m secure enough to know what i would do , if someone strode up to my car door and opened it , if your not , then thats your lookoutNever, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.0 -
Assault first, ask questions later.
"But I was only going to tell you that your brake lights aren't working!"

What if the driver hadn't taken it well and complained he'd come round and threatened him?

Well, if it makes you feel any better; I strongly believe you'd knock seven bells of s*** out of the assailant; even if it were the incredible hulk.0 -

Nope, just a self-preservative intention to deal with each situation on it's own merits; and a recognition of how easy & irrelevant it is to portray oneself as the 'hard man' on the Internet.
But yes it's great that it's Friday. In a few hours time I'll be drinking away the memory of nearly being killed.0 -

Id love to ditch the car and drive to work each day , but the chances of getting killed by some ignorant cretin is far too high , no matter how much care you take personally , i have two kids and a wife , so car it is , at least you stand a chance in that

What would go through your head if the situation was reversed? Ie: Cyclist cuts up a motorist, motorist pursues, jumps out of his car and grabs hold of your bike to stop you getting away.
Would you be thinking " I'm about to get a good telling off" or he's going to start a fight/nick your bike?
I'd think carefully before you go grabbing someones keys from their car , next time you might not walk away, and I don't mean you deserve it, just that as others have said there's plenty of folk that would of been incredibly intimidated by your actions and lashed out at the first opportunity .0
