The roads have been closed for hours locally after an 'incident'.

Turns out, an altercation between the male drivers of two separate vehicles happened, resulting in the death of one, whilst the other fled the scene.

It's not sure what the motive was, but road rage is pretty common....and a horrible thing to see or experience.

"A 30-year-old man has been killed after an ‘altercation at a traffic light’.

He was assaulted in Didsbury, Greater Manchester, and an 18-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and taken into custody.

Detective Inspector Alex Wilkinson said: ‘Whilst the motive for this murder is not clear at this stage, we do believe the incident to be isolated.’

It is believed both men were travelling in separate vehicles before the victim was assaulted shortly before 1.40am this morning.

Drivers are urged to avoid the A34 Kingsway road which remains closed in both directions as forensic officers and police investigate at the scene."

So, have you suffered from feeling road rage, or experiencing someone else's?

 I used to work in town, and one evening around 5 in the winter, so it was dark,  I was driving down Deansgate in heavy traffic and this guy drove past with so much venom on his face and raging so passionately that it was scary to behold.   He was shouting and banging his fist on the dashboard and glaring at everyone.   I've never seen anything like it before or since.  Some people have no patience.

The only other thing that I saw once was the infamous Mary Bags...and old tramp that used to be seen wandering around town with an old shopping trolley.  She squatted down at the traffic lights and did her business in the gutter.   The lights changed twice before the traffic moved on

 Eeeww.

A few months ago we were sat waiting in a queue at lights, we couldn't see what the hold up was, but the lights had changed a couple of times, and still no cars were moving.

I got out to see what was happening, a mother duck was leading her ducklings across the road, but she was going round in circles, so she took ages.

Thankfully, the cars in front of us were very patient, so they all arrived safely. 

Heard somewhere that people that parked in disability parking spaces who were not disabled tended to be criminals / have some sort of criminal history.   Hence this would have been a relatively cheap way of discovering such villains.   They say that many people when they are behind a driving wheel tend to feel secure with no-one looking at them and hence they exhibit their true selves - criminals and people that have rage within them tend to let it all out when they are behind the driving wheel.

Well I’ve certainly been known to let me fists do the talking in the past.  Let’s put it that way.

 This happened to me in Old Trafford.   The queue went right back as a mother goose led her wee goslings across a roundabout.  Some miserable bastard kept honking his horn.  I was just about to get out of my car and give him a gobful but then the traffic started to move as they got safely across.   There was that horrible story about a white van man who deliberately drove over a mother duck and ducklings and killed them all.   I swear to God, I'd happily take a claw hammer to someone who did that.

 There is something about this comment that suggests that the first part (at least) is a distortion of the truth.

Yeah I agree with you there.  I’d stick to me fists though, they tend to do enough talking by themselves.
