On the way home from school today a cock in an Escort van came up behind me I was doing 60 (dual carriage way cars in front was doing 60 so couldn't go nowhere ) Anyway he was literally 5cm's away from the bumper of the BM so I slowed down to about 35 mph, he was flashing cussing and everything, anyway put me foot down and the BM shot off he couldn't keep up at all (was very proud of it!) He got behind me again son had wrote his rego down by this point (never knew he had a temper like that either dounno where he gets that from ) He thought he was going to get round me at a roundabout, got to the traffic lights and 2 lanes go into 1 he had got ahead but caught up and met him at the lights wound down the window and said "lets f**king sort this out you tosser." He sat there laughing mouthing off saying your lucky I didn't hit your shitty motor (He was in a Y-reg escort van and he called my BM shit!!!) Anyway I had to get electric so I raced off in front of him then slowed and  gestured come in this car park, the tosser drove off waving Rant over for today but what a useless w*nker 

What could I say to the law about this?

Not a lot LSG I'm afraid!  You could report his reg. no. and they may look out for him, but it will be put down as 'road rage' with no damage done and therefore no evidence to take the case further with.  Your word against his.

Funnily enough I had trouble with a white Ford Escort van when I had my Toyota Carina who was annoyed I was doing the speed limit on the A28 next to Cobbs Ind. Estate.  I was going down to Tenderden so I showed him what I and my 19 year old Carina could do.  Eventually he caught up with me in traffic in Tenderden and when he realised I was a woman he waved at me and laughed, and I waved back laughing my head of!  Road rage fully extinguished for both parties!

But no there are some right self-abusers round here, but somehow I find an element of "respect" when they come across my large miggy    The trouble is now you drive a BMW you become almost a target for all the boy (and girl!) racers out there trying to out race you no matter what pile of shit they are driving!!

I just put things like that down to experience and laugh my head off at them.

...i bet i could have had you from the lights LSG1  ...what a idiot-in a white sh!tty escort van!

you cant really do anything, suppose you could report as driving without due consideration for other road users and whatever it is. (without due care and attention i think it's called)

i had i think a big white mercedes sprinter van right up my arse so booted it and left him...still an absolute arsecrevis for driving like he was

i was heading over to my mates the other day and this guy was right up my @rse on a dangerous stretch of road - gave him the finger and he followed me all the way to my mates - i parked and got out (all 6'3'' of me, shaved head and a bit of a salad dodger tbh  ) headed over to him to politely enquire as to the nature of his umbrage - fella reversed away and took off like a bat out of hell!! - i don't understand people sometimes  - thought he wanted to ask me something  :

Can I give you an honest opinion, strictly in a personal capacity...

By the fact you were shouting words to the effect of tosser our of the window, and racing ahead to try and get him to pull into a car-park - proably won't be viewed too kindly. You've at minimum commited a public order offence - and I guess the potential for driving offences on top...

The best thing you could have probably done, is pull over as soon as it's safe, and get yourself out of danger. Then call it in, if you deem it necessary and get the VRM.

Sounds like six of one, half a dozen of the other.....

If you'd have kept your cool and not "bitten" maybe you could have reported him, but as it stands, probably best to just put it down to experience and learn from it.

No offence intended mate - just a balanced opinion.

I have done simelar things in the past, and been offered simelar advice

Wait till I get me 330d 

But Lizzie I agree some total and utter tossers drive round Ashford and leave my BM out of it

Strangely enough LSG, any such incidents I encountered when working never amounted to much

I agree there is a lot of idiots out there,
But the only thing that hapens is you bugger up your nerves, blood pressure, Heart and possible your beloved car. if you react in the same way as they do. its better to try and stay calm and just let the idiot go.
I Know I should practice what I preech, but I do try.
( appart from that I have a bigger accelerator pedal then they do)

welcome to BMW world. Either that or maybe you upset him without realising.
Reguardless, the law will take a "bang their heads together" approach i would think. If your of a mind to play, play with a smile. :-)

I might be missing something here, but from what I've read... you've called it on for a straightener...he laughed at you...and now you want to involve the old bill???

If you were serious about sorting the perceived problem for yourself rather than involve a useless shower of $*ite who's best resolution to anything is to offer a crime reference number, then why were you even talking to him in the first place?

If you were truly pi**ed off, you wouldn't have been talking.

If you had been there you would've seen the mouth he was giving back!

And what do you mean if I had been really pissed off I would've said nothing how did you work that one out?

It's what I said basically, If you were really incensed to the point where you wanted to "lets f**king sort this out you tosser"...you wouldn't have been talking about it....you would have got out and just sorted it.
