I am a a curteous and considerate driver and don't go around driving like a dick. I would be interested as to what made him so angry that he felt the need to drive like he did. Maybe he just didn't like the fact someone overtook him?

Get that all the time mate, i wouldnt worry about it. I overtook a cooper S on the way to work. Next thing I know he comes flying up and then goes into my lane at a roundabout. you can go straight ahead in both lanes, right lane was clear, he just wanted to cut me up before I turned left at the roundabout!!!!


Just gotta let it go over your head, some people have a superiority complex and can't let someone else "get one over them"

I agree and this is what I had done. I had to, to put my mind at ease. It was stressing me out what had happend and in all honesty shook me up a little. Like I say I had mostly let this one slide but it was just by chance that I spotted the car and that raised the question in my mind as what I should do about it.

Hi mate, firstly sorry to hear what happened. as far as there being 2 people in the other car, this won't help them, the extra person cannot be classed as an independant witness. so it's still basically him against you. i'm sure if your straight with the police and tell them the truth which i'm sure you've done so far they'll entertain your complaint, what will go in your favour will be your the one reporting the matter and not him, that's hoping he hasn't already stating simular about you, and if the signs of the impact are found on his car i think you have a fair to good chance imo. good luck. :happy2:

If you think phoning the Police is pointless you could maybe knock on his door...but he may just pull a knife on you lol

i would just be childish and egg his house or chuck paint all over his car  :happy2:
