I would have driven to the nearest traveller site - that would have got rid of them sharpish 
If any travellers had come out, just say sorry you have got a bit lost. They will probably have a quick laugh but certainly wont cause you any trouble.
Plot twist - the guy following you is a traveller and you've driven straight into his trap! If any travellers had come out, just say sorry you have got a bit lost. They will probably have a quick laugh but certainly wont cause you any trouble.
Had someone go mad once for out accelerating him. Oh the drama at the next lights, which was proper funny. Veins in his temples were epic.
Even if you drive like a saint and you’ll get one sooner or later. If you’re not a ninja PH director type, lock doors, Dash cam, phone police, side windows are damned hard to break.

had this happen several times, always just driven to the police station or just aimlessly around until they got bored / got on motorway and booted it
Hmmm....Several instances of being followed as a result of road rage.
Must be the other drivers, eh? Nothing to do with you driving like a tool.

Do the same thing that my friend does after a hoon, just drive causally around some built up area a fair distance away from home until you feel like they've gone.
Although having said that, I don't know you and most people who have dashcams can't drive for s
t.
So you're implying there's a good chance I can't drive very well.Although having said that, I don't know you and most people who have dashcams can't drive for s
t.Does your wonderful sounding mate have a dashcam?
My company car insurance excess is large and liability moves to me if I am deemed at fault.
That's the only reason I have one although a bonus is being able to look back at rare/amazing cars that I see on my travels.
I was once followed home by a road rager who thought I had pulled out in front of him (I may have done..) I drove past my house and kept going, going round and round some country lanes, him behind me every which way for ages. Eventually I stopped and let him pull along side me. Windows down, I said, 'Look this is just silly, why don't we call it a day?' He gave me some verbals and drove away.
Looking back, I should have thrown a can of Red Bull at him.

Dominate the road-rage. Looking back, I should have thrown a can of Red Bull at him.
My mate after a windsurfing event in Cornwall had a guy follow him for several miles through small Villages and down Country lanes, all the time flashing his lights and beeping his horn. He eventually pulled over and both he and his Father got out the van to confront his follower. He was then met by a small guy jumping out of his car to inform him, his windsurfer had flown off the roof several miles back. Rather sheepishly he thanked the guy and drove back to find his board at the side of the road. He thought his luck was in as the board was a pretty expensive race board and still in the board bag. So his Father went round one side and he took hold of the other to lift it up onto the roof of van, his face must of been a picture when they raised it off the ground and it just sunk in the middle.

If it was a genuine mistake then the macho fairies won’t actually come and steal you cojones in the night, if you apologise.

I tried to help a Saab driver who was driving down the M5... with his filler flap open and the remains of a fuel hose trailing out of his tank... He eventually stopped at a service station, got out and came storming towards me... and then saw the debris...After sitting behind some outside lane gimp for several miles of him not moving over into clear lane one, I flashed him a few times and he eventually moved over, went past at about 80 and I carried on, to see him come steaming up outside of me at about 90, flashing some "warrant card" across at me. I came off a the next junction, my way into work and he followed me up the slip road, he was in civvies in his own car still flashing this "warrant" card at me,
I figured he was full of it, so gave him the finger, at which point he gets all arsey. So at the big oval interchange roundabout, I just am turning right, he starts following, so I carried on around it, got a bit of speed up in my old mk2 GTI, and after about 4 or 5 laps, i was up behind him! After he passed my exit, I darted off, he had to go around again, and I never saw him again! Great tactic to lose someone, if you are handy round roundabouts that is.
OP, next time, go to someone's house who you don't like, park on their drive, call him a wker and go down the side of the house telling them you've called the police. When he fks off, make sure coast is clear and go home!
(don't do this!!)

The last thing I would have done is driven home. I’d have kept driving around until I was certain he’d got bored and disappeared then gone home.
The best thing to do is head for a big roundabout, then just keep circling. That way they get the message that you're not going to be followed home.
