Advice needed re. incident this morning

Don't give it a second thought - report it to the police. No matter what lies your ex may have told about you (or truths
) there's absolutely no excuse for this intimidating and threatening behaviour.
Idiots!!!!! They could have caused a really serious accident.
Let the police deal with it.

I would report it to the police and to their employer too.
One thing that struck me as strange was why this suddenly happened after such a long time with no contact from him at all.
I hope you get satisfaction from the police on this and that it was 'just a one-off' stupid thing, maybe 3 guys who thought it might be a 'hoot' to intimidate the ex-partner of a workmate.0 -
I know we are all different but I'm surprised you even thought about calling your ex to tell him about this. This situation isn't some silly playground squabble, it was dangerous and the quicker you get damned angry about this the better.
For God's sake phone the Police.Herman - MP for all!

Phone the police. You know the people and mum is a witness. I would not contact your ex at all. No No No. Police and let them sort it out. Do not try to rationalise it in your mind of why, and what he may have said. None of their business.
POLICE POLICE POLICE NOW NOW NOW.0 -

God how scary for you
I agree with the others to you should report this to the police, they were utterly stupid and whatever happens with them the police and their employers its their own stupid fault.
As for backlash who's to say someone on the motorway didn't see what was going on and ring the police saying there were some eejits on the motorway and they were worried they were going to cause a crash (something my mum has done in the past- this was before she had a mobile but the minute we got home she called, it turned out so had 2 other people)I know the rules of punctuation and grammer I just choose to ignore them (or forget them half the time)... Apologies in advance0 -
Agree with everyone else. Hope that you've managed to report it by now. The last thing anyone should put up with is macho posturing or bullying, but whilst you're all driving it's just insane. Thank goodness you have a witness.
Don't bother with your ex. This is a police matter. What if some other poor innocent motorist had got themselves mixed up in the stupid bully boys little games?0 -
You need to report it to the police, because that is probably the best way of nipping this kind of behaviour from them in the bud now. If they know you will be prepared to ring the police for this, then they should think very carefully about attempting to intimidate you again in the future. Whereas, if you do nothing, they get away with it, know they probably caused you grief, and will do it again if they get another chance, or maybe worse!
I had a slightly different situation regarding some teenagers who were intimidating my children locally. It started off low level verbal abuse, then a bit of chasing down the street, throwing stones, then one night not a minute after I'd driven away from the house they tried to break into the house where 2 of my children were! I finally called the police, and they went and had a firm, but polite word with them about it, advised them I could take legal action if I wanted, but provided they agreed to stop it, I wouldn't. I didn't have any more problems.
The police are there to support you in this kind of situation, and you are merely reacting to a dangerous situation they created. Who knows why they did it, but they did it all the same, and in doing so, they have to accept they will have to pay a price for it, whether from the police or their employer.One day the clocks will stop, and time won't mean a thing
Be nice to your children, they'll choose your care home0 -
What a truly awful and frightening thing for you and your mum to have experienced.
Although you are worried about the 'backlash' call the police and explain this to them. They will handle it the best way for you and it will give you peace of mind.
I really hope that you get it sorted out as you cannot be in a situation where you are living with the fear of it happening again, that is so unfair on you.
What idiots they are!
Take care.0 -
im another for report them to the police. They may not do this to you again - but they need to know its not on to do this to ANYONE.0
