Fwend! The envelope is monumental.

I agree with you though, the driver's reaction is totally disproportionate, but even a true head case needs something to annoy them before they go postal.

By the sound of things he was already in mental mode according to the other drivers so something further back probably sparked him off and this was his excuse to vent it. I've come across people like this a couple of times.

The driver sounds like a right prick But i'm amazed that someone tried to ram a biker with a car and the police never bothered to turn up!!!

Poor show indeed.

Now if you had been a cyclist and similar happened, OMG the papers and police would be all over it

TBH, I'm not it took 3 days for the police in my town to attend a car crash that was phoned in, meanwhile the occupants were trapped inside injured later dying from their injuries and dehydration. Even though they were reported as missing after a day or so.

They then proceeded to call the victims phone 10 days after her death to leave a voicemail saying "do you know your missing".

They then a few days after their funeral proceeded to have a family fun day up town in Falkirk.

I bet the letter will say something like "After completing a thorough investigation, we have insufficient evidence to take the matter further."

Details of the accident?? Did you make it clear on the call that you weren't reporting an accident but a deliberate act intending to cause you physical injury or to damage your property?

Please don't stop pestering the police until they have hunted this person down.

Edit - posted this just as you posted above. FFS. No doubt the police want to tick the box "case solved" on this one. Fill in the forms describing what happened. Follow up with the police. If they still won't act then start writing letters to the chief constable.

Get yourself down the police station and speak to a policeman rather than a *call centre operator*. The guy drove at you on purpose and that could have killed you. You have witnesses. In the time it's taken to moan online, you could have driven down the station and made a statement, given all photos of damage, road, the witnesses details, etc to a real police man/woman.
I found a stolen bike a few weeks ago near my house and police were round in an hour or so. They are useless but they do come when you tell them they have to! Saying ok to 7 days to post a form is giving them a licence to fob you off.

p.s. if they don't do anything let us know as I have a car and a list of people I want to ram off the road :P

This is getting a bit silly now. Clearly the operative who took the call has logged it incorrectly. The police can only work off the information that are given. As already said, go down to a station and explain it to a real copper in person. Things will definitely change then.

Go down to your local station. Foot the doors open and go "right you motherfking pigs have you seen assault on precinct 13" whilst brandishing a potato gun that'll get their attention

The only action that would likely bring is proceedings against the OP from plod for saying nasty things about them...

Jag for sale privately, around the Liverpool area, with potential rear damage...

If I didn't have work to do I'd trawl through AutoTrader and Gumtree.

As soon as someone finds it they can go round and hammer some frozen sausages into his lawn.

Is this some kind of Liverpudlian tradition or threat.
