I had a similar one yesterday - a chap overtook me doing WELL over the 30mph speed limit (I would reckon closer to 60) and in doing so nearly collided with an oncoming car. I flashed him, which caused him to think it appropriate to do an emergency stop.

We then got to a 60mph stretch where he was deliberately holding me up at 20mph, so I went to overtake him - as I was pulling alongside, he tried to ram me. I dropped back and followed (at a great distance) until I could turn off the road and take a different route. All the time he was gesticulating out of the window.

I memorised his number plate and the web address that was on the back of the van and I reported him to the company yesterday afternoon. I figure if he tries it with someone else and they've reported it too, then the likelihood (if I were his boss anyway) would be that he's unlikely to be allowed to continue driving company vehicles and thus have an impact on his job. That should soon focus the mind.......

That's the hope, anyway!
Just had an email from one of the Company Directors apologising for his employee's actions - the person has been traced and has been hauled in on a charge of Gross Misconduct.

Just goes to show that if these things are actually reported maybe someone will take some notice and/or action and might make these numbnuts think twice about dicking around on the public highway.

And lands you in front of the beak or on the receiving end of a knife to the head.

Clever.

Nice one Spuffington
