Tailgaiting van on camera

[onedsla]

Hi - During a short drive down the A13 this morning, I had a large van from a well-known telecomunications who are from Britain driving within a few foot of my bumper. I let said vehicle past, then remembered that I had a camera with me and instructed my passenger to snap away...

I managed to get a shot of him doing the same with the car ahead of me - I'm sure he was a little closer to me but the picture clearly shows the vehicle within a just a few meters of the car in front. This was when travelling at approx 50mph.

I have the full reg & other pictures of the van / driver - do you think it's worth a letter to try and discourage this behaviour?

I doubt if a letter will do any good, and if you think that is tailgating you don't get out much do you ? LOL

Thursday I had someone tailgating me and he was driving literally about 1 inch from my rear bumper. All I could do was wait for him to turn off which he eventually did. It was a Passat.

He is close but it is hardly tailgating.

Like Ledfoot, I had a BMW today that was so close that I thought he was the local boot inspector.... Probably 2 or 3 inches tops. Personally I wouldnt park that close to someone.

Worst part is I was doing 80 on the inside lane of an empty duel carrageway so only knows why he didnt just overtake!!!!!

maybe his indicators were not working...
