Whilst on a dual carriageway, some bloke pulled out dangerously in front of me, so I flashed him, - thereafter he drove like a looney, very hard braking in front of me, he eventually stopped in front of me on a slip road we were both turning off at, - put his car in reverse and rammed me, although he didnt hit me very hard and no damage was done.

I had a friend in the car with me, but the Police said that if there's no independent witnesses there might not be a lot they can do. But I reported him anyway.

What will happen next?

Cheers

So the procedure for dealing with this sort of thing varies considerably then.

To add, this happened about six weeks ago and I havne't heard anything as yet!

You would think they have contacted this guy by now? Or perhaps they've been mega busy over Xmas - ?????

Yep, national force with local ways of doing things. Varies force to force.

I'm hoping to find out what the Police procedure is, as above.

You want to derail this topic, - fine, - at least wait until/if my question has been answered.

...and one of the answers was to get on with your life. Another was asking you what you're hoping for.

Unfortunatley my question remains unanswered. But thanks for taking the time out of your sunday to try and help smile

Please also rest assured that my life hans't been put on hold because of an interest/curiousity of Essex Police procedures.

I'm hoping that the builders will finish the extension on my house by the end of next week, and I won last nights lottery.

IIRC there were no independent witnesses in his case, just his girlfriend.

Did you get a reference number? If so, you can follow it up. If not, it will not have been actioned anyway.

How long do forces usually take to getting around to contacting the accused?

think what the op is after is some plod to go and have a chat with the loon about anger management issues before he causes a serious accident, can see some plod place more value in getting the coffee and donuts order than sorting out road rage smile

With that first answer being singularly unhelpful and combined with repetition, needlessly aggressive.

Did you get the VIN and tell the police that?
