Just walking back to work from lunch, I heard a car horn, looked up and saw a car swerving around another one on the road in front of me.
One car goes past, and then the following car goes past, but the driver of the car following (and apparently the one that was wronged but I didn't see it) was gesturing to the other lead car to pull over and shouting "****ing pull over! Pull over you mother****er!"
He was swerving all over the road and his face was quite literally contorted with rage and pressed up against the windscreen.
That bit of town is not a bit where you can just put you foot down, but quite small lanes and the lead car would have had to stop at some point.
My point here is that there are times when you may need to defend yourself but it wouldn't be appropriate to stab or shoot someone. This is mainly in response to people who say for self defense "buy a gun" or "hand to hand skills aren't relevant anymore". They are, at least in the UK.
Maybe I'm preaching to the choir here...
