Realistic expectations? Reported dangerous driving
Discussion
Curiosity post.
I had a minor run in with a couple of scrotes today. Normal type, balaclava no helmet, bikes falling to bits, riding over grass, pavements etc.
They saw me taking photos and rode over giving verbal, threats, including riding on the pavement to do close passes to intimidate etc. I told them to f off and kept on my way, end of event.
Looking back at the photos, the only stuff from them that's nailed on is riding on the road without helmet or insurance. There's supporting video of them making a close pass, but it's not the closest they did, nor on the pavement.
My expectations is nothing will happen to them as no-one was actually injured and nothing damaged. Is that realistic?
For the why bother reporting brigade, no I don't have anything better to do, and I don't want these idiots hurting themselves or anybody else with their antics

The police had a crackdown by us and the problem seems to have dried up.
Send it in, I am sure they will have a "file" and all of this will contribute e.g. if these scumbags are involved with another event down the line it will all add up and help to build the bigger picture of antisocial behaviour.
It would at least help them see the problem, even if you don't get to see VBRJ being immediately deployed.

I would report it for sure and get it logged.
if the pictures are of decent quality they may have picked up distinguishing markings on the bikes which could provide useful if anyone else reports it in the future.
What I find odd is that you wouldn’t just report it anyway, without having to resort to an internet forum.

Surprised they had registrations!
I occasionally see the same in my neck of the woods. Usualy a combination of dirt bikes and quad bikes riding together. No number plates, no helmets, all over the road, riding either side of cars coming the other way, pulling wheelies, riding across pavements. Until the police have the power and inclination to stop the

Same here. We live on a steep hill. It seems to be a magnet for illegal bikes doing wheelies all the way up. I occasionally see the same in my neck of the woods.
