Work Vans + Road Rage

[CooperS]

So I was stupid and in a moment of lapsed concentration I cut up a van on the motorway. I over took the car in front and pulled in. Van passed and I put my hand up to say sorry.

What followed was the van break testing me from 60 to 25mph. I back off and he looked back and I may of mouthed something appropriate.

Anyway. The chap is in his work van and it doesn't take a brain surgeron to quickly Google and go onto his business Facebook site (a one man in a van outfit) and not only find his name, his home address and phone number.

Now I'm not a person to do anything but I know people who would of enjoyed following up on the arguement.

So if I was him why would you do it? I'm doing my garden at the moment and need a landscaper so he's now someone although local and might be alright for all I know I'd rather not give him my money?

Or he might try to find you ..

Exactly I dont need the drama and what would I see as the positive outcome? If he can't keep it together over such an small event I'd hate to see what he's like provoked.

I also don't understand the mentality of those who publish pictures of a firm's van on social media for silly things, like 'he overtook me on the wrong side of the road', for example. Why not just contact said firm and ask them to have a word with the driver?

Probably don't like direct confrontation. Much easier to vent than do something. As I say I dont think any good will of come by me pursuing the incident directly or just using Facebook to rant.

Unfortunately for those who have these momentary lapses a good reputation is hard built but easily lost.
