Worst piece of driving..........EVER??

[tvrslag]

Sorry to do this so early. Bit of a rant.
Coming to work this morning along the A361-Heading away from Daventry to the M40 Junction identified as red- route, I saw one of if not the most dangerous and selfish pieces of driving stupidity and numptyism.
If you are unaware of the road it is a very winding and twisting road with plenty of hills and is bordered along its length with hedges and trees visibility around most corners especially when the hedges have leaves is viruatually non exsitant. Passing places are few and far between and coupled with lots of little villages between NSL stretches of road.
I Stuck behind a truck, as often happens along this road, and was biding my time for a passing place, as I knew we had a 30 limit in a village to pass through before a good passing oppertunity if traffic allowed. I was being followed by two cars, and I could see in my mirrors the last chap in the que was VERY eager to pass matery in front, which he did so round a Blind bend and on twin whites . He then sat glued to my arse , I knew there were safe overtaking places coming up but rather than waiting, he then proceeded to overtake me on twin whites prior to another long sweeping bend with bad visibility, he then cut in front of me sharply due to oncoming traffic, forcing me to brake (I was already braking to increase the gap for him to dive into) as he almost took the front of my car off . To top it all of, he then overtook the truck, again prior to a blind bend on double whites, when an MPV appeared around the corner, and instead of stopping his manouvre, he carried on and forced the MPV onto the grass verge and the truck onto a verge on our side(basicly they were three abreast on a single carriageway road). Thankfully no accident no damage.
Words fail me to describe this guy, maybe we need a new word such as "super numpty" .I won't mention the car he was driving suffice to say it was of bravarian extraction (although I want to avoid sterotype arguements).
I am building upto a question. I took his number when we both eventually pulled up to a junction I was a car or two behind but in a different lane (all that stupidty didn't get him very far) so is it worthwhile giving the BiB a ring? I was the only person in my car so no other witnesses, plus super numpty will deny it all, my opinion is not to waste my or the BiB time, what do you think. Another point, speed cameras obviously don't deter this idiot. Sorry for the rant.

I once took somebody's registration number and reported them to the police for dangerous driving, unfortunately nothing came of it in the end, but the policeman that came round to take my statement said that if it ever happens again to try and get the registration number of another driver on the road, in your case the lorry driver would have been a good idea. It just means they have a backup witness which then makes the charge a lot more solid.

By all means you should still report it, they will at least have to make a statement and put it on file, so if he ever gets reported again at least he will have history.

Yes Yes Yes, but was he speeding ?

For such antics I would report him. You might find that someone else (eg the truck driver) already has.
