A question for any BiB on here. I have reported a drink driver anonymously online, I did it this way just in case there are any repercussions. Now the person I have reported drives a Vauxhall Combo van as he uses this for work as well as his main vehicle. He doesn't hold a license and usually drives whilst under the influence of drink and drugs. So my question is will this get taken seriously or do I need to add my details to the report ? Didn't really want to do this as the bloke in question is a bloody nutcase and I would rather him not know it was me.

See your point about posting it on here but I'm sure he won't see it, I know there is a chance but it will be a very slim one.

I figured they would probably do that but didn't really want my name mentioning, will do if I have to though if you see what I mean.

That's good to know, just curious as to whether they would act upon an anon tip off rather than someone willing to give their details

I did it the other day, reported the driver and was there when the police turned up. Gave all my details as I'm more than prepared to appear in court as a witness. I find one of the biggest problems we have in society is the 'I want to report it but don't want any hassle mentality' (no offence OP).
Non taken. It's a little more complex than just DD reporting, he is in court for assault / criminal damage in January and I'm a witness to that too. I don't want the Police thinking I'm just doing it to get at him, or him thinking that either. Truth is I despise anyone who drinks and drives.

I gave them all the details I could. Name, address, vehicle, times, dates and usual habits so I hope they do act upon it. Thanks for the responses up to now everyone
