So whilst driving back from London tonight, along Grosvenor Rd towards Chelsea bridge (a few sets of traffic lights back from the bridge itself), someone managed to roll back into me whilst I was stationary (even after beeping the horn as I fking knew he was going to).

Then as I didn't particularly want to stay behind said tt I overtook and put my foot down for a bit. Only to discover as I went past the tea hut that numpty had decided to follow us. Was going to double back and park at the tea hut for a quick drink but they followed us all around the roundabout and then pulled in front of us trying to block us in. Not being in the mood for this I then shot off not particularly wanting to discuss this with these two dheads.

Thoughts, should I report this (not sure I have the full plate) as they hit me, and then followed me driving rather aggressively?

I'm off to pass out for a rather long time as I've had enough for one day!

Hey chap, Sorry to hear this frown I would definitely call the rozzers to report what happened. Sounds like it could have been a potential car-jacking...

Hope there wasn't much damage done to the green beastie...

That's exactly what it sounds like to me - and make sure you tell the BiB this too. Things just do not stack up .... unless you are fleeing from the scene of an accident (in their words); and whiplash; and all the scams that goes with that.

Sorry to hear that Ben. Did they roll back hard enough to do any damage? If not I'm in two minds about reporting it. Might get them in the st or it might just mean getting drawn into a dispute over who was at fault. Does sound very dodgy that they tried to block you in. Well done for escaping!

CCTV would be a blessing of course.

I should have added there was no damage to my car, I just think they were pissed or similar to be honest and didn't realise they were rolling back. It was the bit after that confused the fk out of me. Will leave it alone, any local BiB have any thoughts?

Perhaps a refreshing pint of something a little later might help? drink

Will do next time, as I said after they'd got in the way in a quite aggressive way there was no way I was staying around to find out what they wanted to 'discuss', just wish I'd made a note of the full registration when I was still behind them. It also looked like the police were some what busy in London last night!
