Victim of road rage, damage to car?

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.
Yeah I had some young girl doing this to me a couple weeks ago, all I did was tap my horn because she was sitting at an empty roundabout messing with her phone and chatting to her friend. She brake tested me on the roundabout a few times and then drove along at 15mph in a 30 trying to p1ss me off.
My original horn tap was just a friendly reminder, so short that my air horn didn't even have time to spool up and she only got the stock horn, so when I overtook her and she leant on the horn at me in retribution, it was soon drowned out be the full 140 decibels of Stebel Nautilus right next to her open drivers window :rotfl:“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Sounds a bit blackmail!I'm thinking about trying to get the psycho's address through his plate number. And then sending him a letter to pay for the damage and in return I won't press charges. I would highlight that we have the footage and witnesses. Maybe this is a better route than waiting for the police.
You just asking for trouble if you send that letter.0 -

You can't have a fail to stop for a criminal damage. I'd suggest the op has termed it a driving incident not the police.
The vehicle has nothing to do with the offences under investigation and the enquiry with the dvla is not proportionate and should quite rightly be denied.
The OP has reported the matter to the police and should let them deal with it. It's a low level incident and they have more pressing matters to deal with. It will get done when they have time and it appears the op has been told this.0 -

I'm not suggesting you can. I'm merely saying that IF the police are not treating is as a 'criminal matter', then it must be then regarded as a motoring/driving matter (or how ever you want to describe it). If the latter, then the OP would be entitled to request the TP's details via the DVLA. However, if the police are treating the incident as a criminal matter (which, from the OP's post would be more appropriate in my opinion) then I would agree that the police should deal with it in it's entirety.
BUT, according to the OP, the police seem to be giving him/her the brush off.
Perhaps the OP can clarify the current position?PLEASE NOTEMy advice should be used as guidance only. You should always obtain face to face professional advice before taking any action.0 -
