AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (Reuters) - A Dutch driving instructor hit a knife-wielding fellow motorist with a baseball bat during a fight over his student's skills, police said Wednesday.

"Words were exchanged between the instructor and the man who pulled a knife and then the other hit him with a baseball bat," a police spokeswoman said.

The 27-year-old driving instructor and a 51-year-old man with a head injury and a mild concussion were arrested and must appear in court.

These people need to move to the Washington, D.C., commuting area. They would fit right in here.

The instructor was just trying to teach that guy the importance of defensive driving. We should always carry our bats with us when we go out for a drive.

I don`t know about other states but in NY if you give someone the finger or other action of road rage you can be turned in and if identified by license plate you will get a visit from the local police and receive a ticket.

Does making eye contact and mouthing the word "a$$h*le" count? If so I think I'm in trouble...
