Victim of road rage, damage to car?

How? Do you have access to the PNC?0 -
Saw a video of a guy the other day in an Audi cutting up a lorry from the inside, pulling infront of him and brake checking the lorry. Problem being the lorry went into the back of him and when he saw the size of the lorry driver, he was much less aggressive.
Road ragers are the new keyboard warriors. Happy to give it the big man whilst behind the wheel but scared when they have to get out and face up to their actions.

You can apply to the DVLA for a driver's name and address (using form V888) if you have reasonable cause:‘Reasonable cause’ can include:
finding out who was responsible for an accident
tracing the owner of an abandoned vehicle
tracing the owner of a vehicle illegally parked on private land
issuing parking tickets
tracing people responsible for driving off without paying for goods and services
tracing vehicle owners suspected of insurance fraud

I would have said that tracing the person who has damaged your car falls within this definition.If someone is nice to you but rude to the waiter, they are not a nice person.0 -
OP< you'd have been better off just parking up and walking into the supermarket rather than getting involved in a "chase" round the car park.
OP I can't understand why you engaged in a car park race with him. Or why you didn't pull your phone out & call the police right when he was punching your car? Or video him in the act?0 -

I've never heard of brake checking?
Are they deliberately stopping in front of other drivers hoping or to see if they will run into the back of them?
Why????0 -

Because people think that if someone hits the back of them it will automatically be the other persons fault. In the situation of that van driver I would have been sorely tempted (knowing I had a camera on board) to just destroy the back of that to55ers car.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Not sure, as the list is indicative rather than definitive. But I know it is possibly to get RK details after a traffic accident or if someone is persistently parking on your property, and I would have thought alleged criminal damage to your vehicle was not too far from either of those. DVLA won't entertain frivolous claims (I used V888 to request RK details of a motorbike I used to own so I could make the current owner a silly offer, and that was refused) but this is far from frivolous.
It will only cost the OP £5 to find out, which is returned if you are refused the details.If someone is nice to you but rude to the waiter, they are not a nice person.0 -

He doesn't have a valid reason to obain information from the dvla.0 -

More usually, it is just a willy-waving exercise. You pull in front of someone, jab the brakes, and quickly accelerate away, chuckling as they recover from an emergency stop/heart attack. It's often done as 'punishment' for some perceived offence half a mile back.
Stupid, dangerous, and immature.If someone is nice to you but rude to the waiter, they are not a nice person.0
