I hope you got the reg number and reported it to the Police as even though no harm was done he has broken the law. Police do now take this seriously and will go and have a chat.
Worth doing IMO next time it could be some elderly person or female.
Here is an even worse story about peoples anger taken from Fiat Coupe owner...
Was the way to work this morning, nice and early as normal (05:45), nice quite roads and the out side temp is good for a bit of ‘turbo spin up testing’ – i.e. put it in forth at about 1500rpm and then floor it to see what, when, how the boost comes into play etc.
So my average speed was from around 30mph to 60mph, on a deserted dual carriage way, how ever a Honda Civic Type R appears in the rear view mirror, I note that it is also in the slow lane and that it had sped fast up to my bumper then sat there no more than a couple of feet of it. I checked my speed – 50mph, I had stopped testing when I seen the Honda as I don’t want to mess around with silly low speeds and then speed up – slow down etc.
Anyway this guy was sitting on my rear bumper, I think about flooring it but to be honest they are no real fun to get past or pull away from so I save my fuel for something quicker that will give my coop a bit of chance to stretch its legs. ………..The guy is still there, but this time he is slowing and hanging off for a couple of car lengths then speeds right up to my bumper again, next time I saw him hang back I took my foot off the accelerator peddle so that I slowed at the same amount and kept one car’s distance from him, when I saw his shoulders drop I guessed that he was going for a gear change so I to prepared to match his gear, as I saw the front of his car raise I too accelerated so that I maintained the one car gap – still staying in the slow lane.
Did this twice and then indicated left as to say ‘overtake’ – he did using all his rpm by the sound of it, he speed off to the front but then hanked on the brakes that hard that I could see the Honda skewing in the fast lane as if in protest for such an abrupt braking manoeuvres. He pulled into the slow lane but was only doing a crawl, I over took at 50 mph, as I got along side he hit his accelerator and shot past on the inside – I indicated left and sat in the slow lane still at the same speed.
He did the manoeuvre yet again but this time there was a BMW also in the fast lane doing about 70mph, but this idiot still hit the brakes in the same way, the BMW had to do some quick evasive driving to avoid rear ending the Honda, but as the BMW got into the slow lane to undertake the guy in the Honda hit his accelerator again and matched the pace of the BMW, the BMW hit its brakes and allowed the Honda to over take. The Honda then slowed down again and the BMW had to over take once again, but this time I think the BMW driver must of made a gesture as he went past as the Honda guy must of seen red and went tearing after the guy and did some extremely dangerous manoeuvres that yet again made the BMW drive have to take action in order to avoid a collision.
We came to some traffic lights and the guy in the Honda got out of the car and booted the BMW ………….. I could not believe it, I then noticed that the driver of the BMW was a women…………….. I shouted out of the window to the Honda guy telling him to calm down, with this he then shouted back ‘oh you want some as well’ and then proceeded to walk towards my Coupe – I got out of the car and started to walk towards him as to head him off from getting to close to the Coupe, he started to go a little quieter once he saw me, I then calmly informed him that he should get back in his Japanese Tractor before I stuck I assisted him back into it. I then went on to inform him that he was a complete k**b, the lady that was in the BMW got out of her car at this time and had a look at the dent that this yob had left and asked him for his details – he refused but then noticed that I had now walked up and took his keys out of his ignition……….’Oi – give them back’ – I looked at him and told him to get all the details out and give it to the woman other wise I was going to drive off with his keys and with the BMW following go to the nearest cop shop and make a statement.
He retorted that he was going to sort me out – to which I then stood still and held my arms open as a gesture to tell him to ‘fill his boots’ ……….. he must of decided against it as he then started to apologise to everyone in what I think was a realisation that he was in a ‘pickle’ and there was no way out of it.
To cut a long story all details were given to the lady and we even got his name, mobile number, home number (they were all on his mobile) address and insurance details (in his glove box) . I had a little chat with the woman and told her to make a statement to the coppers and also gave her my details for witness purposes.
