This morning, driving to work some chap (after cutting up a truck driver), tried to overtake me on the inside while I was merging back into the left hand lane (stupid moron!!).

Truck left hand lane, me right hand lane, driver behind me, cuts up truck as soon as I get past it and tries to overtake down the inside as the lanes merge.... Im sure you can see what I mean :p

Anyway!

Im just trying to get to work, I don't want any hassle, any silly games, etc etc etc..... But a little later he overtook me and slammed on the brakes inches from the front of my car..... :mad:
Luckily I hit the brakes as soon as I saw him overtaking, else id have gone into him!

Do I report him to the Police?

Will they take any notice?








Oh and BTW, before you say "you've got no witness/evidence" I caught it all on my onboard video camera :D :rotfl:

    Definately report him, the video may not be admissable as evidence but it's worth a shot.

    Police are on the case, their little eye's lit up (bless) when I mentioned video evidence :rotfl:

    I was really surprised how interested they were, but I think the biggest surprise will be reserved for someone else :D

    They'll be paying me a visit next week to get a statement and see the video ;)



    Unfortunately it does mean I can't post the video online yet.....

    So what are these onboard video camera thingies then? You've got me intrigued!

    Mini DV camera, on Ebay for less then £15

    The guy was late 40's to early 50's, driving a 10 year old Vectra.... Probably the typical sexually frustrated middle age man with a point to prove. Saw my newer Vectra and thought he'd "show the young whipper-snapper who's boss".

    Well... He picked the wrong man this time.
