So the other day (2nd May) on my way home from work I was on the receiving end of some dangerous driving and a rather angry motorist. I was driving home and caught up 2 cars doing around 45 mph in a national. I followed for around a mile until the road opened up and was safe to overtake. I indicated, moved out and gave it some toe to get by both cars as the one in front of me seemed happy enough sitting at 45. As I pulled out, the car in front of me moved towards the white line as I went to overtake. I just kept accelerating to get out the way. I have overtaken on this road a million times before with no issues.
So a couple of miles further down the road, it comes into a village and speed reduces to 30 mph. Next thing I know is I have a Mazda 3 inches off my rear end with his full beam on. I sit at the speed limit and do nothing to antagonise him further. Knowing another national was coming up I waited until we hit the signs then gunned it thinking I need to gain as much distance as possible if he is prepared to drive like that.
Left him no issues. The problem came in the next village after getting held up by a motorbike and Transit van. He came up the side of me and then swerved straight in font of me. I braked and swerved away and thought nothing of it. I didn't get the reg and he turned off further down the road so left it at that.
It wasn't until the next day that my mate noticed my front bumper. When he cut me up, he had actually made contact with me and scuffed my bumper, headlight and wing. Obviously I was pissed off but thought what could I do about it? I couldn't report it as I had no reg to go on and would be my word against his. Plus he had his Mrs in the car who was no doubt going mental at his driving but would stick up from him.
So fast forward 2 weeks to last night. I travelled down the road where he turned off as went that way to drop my brother in town and on the way back I spotted the car and where the owner lives.
What I am wanting to know is, is it worth reporting at this late a stage now I have an address and reg number bearing in mind it will still be my word against his? He collided with me and didn't stop so just wondered where I stood on the matter.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
