Just been the subject of some road rage. A driver slammed on the anchors in front of me, presumbaly to stop and go to a cash point. There was no use of indicators and the stop was abrupt so on passing I looked over to see what sort of person was driving.
Maybe it was the way I looked over. He raise the fingers at me followed by a fist and then aborted his cash point stop, floored the throttle and caught me up pulling along side me, going the wrong way down a 30 road in a busy residential area. He then swerved over forcing me to stop or risk scraping the side of my car. So I stopped. He then gets out of the car and walks over - just as he approaches I eased onto the pavement and sped off.
Come the traffic lights down the road he has caught up so I slow in order to be able to keep rolling and not have to stop in case I became trapped at the lights. He pulls along side again, gets out a knife and starts jabbing it in my direction and shouting. No idea what he was saying as I wasn't about to wind down the window.
Anyway, I whip out the mobile camera, take a pic which flashes and all of a sudden he just drives off. I noted the registration.
Dilemma is do I report to police? I am due to go away to Spain for the week at 6am on Monday so if I get called in to give a statement it will be a problem. Would like to do my bit and have this guys collar felt to reduce the chances of him doing this to other drivers but in practice being my word against his nothing will probably happen anyway. Decisions...
