    No, but in my book their idiocy warrants my actions.

    If a 4 x 4, steal their catalytic converter. If an expensive looking car I do all the windows, lights, and put a few scratches and dents in it plus a note saying, you were in the wrong and you know it. If a shoddy looking car then I just call the local council and get it towed away.

    Get an old car bonnet and stand on the pavement in his way, when he starts whacking it, scream loudly every time he hits it.

    Move it about now and then.

    Should provide you with hours of amusement

    I have done this several times in the past, and it always releases tension and makes me feel a lot better.

    Mrs ferret now groans if she sees someone in front of us hogging the middle lane, she knows the score
