Little rant

Hi all, so I was on a single track road in my van last night when a kid rushed round the corner in his new Mercedes he passed a passby by about 20 foot, my passway was about 150 foot behind me and then stopped in front of me and asked me to move back. I told him he just passed one, to which he said "SO what, you move" this went back and forth for a few minutes...
I then had 4 cars from what I could count behind me, and he had nothing behind him, he just smiled and was like you move because I'm not!
15 minutes passed!!! I was stuck but trying to keep calm but I was starting to lose my cool... He was acting like a idiot to put it politely
So I edged towards him, hoping he would move back not wanting to damage daddy gift... I'm guessing my van made contact because he jumped out with his phone in hand recording me saying I rammed him but his car didn't move! Anyway he won... I had to walk behind the van and ask everyone to reverse, then he called the police and said I cracked his badge on the car (I have no idea if I did, I don't think I even made contact) but to be fair it did have a crack on it.
The police said we have to share insurance details etc and they can't apportion blame etc
I have no damage to my van
He said he had a dashcam which is fine as I don't think I made much if any contact, I know it was stupid of me but I'm guessing he will be claiming off my insurance!
What a waste of 30mins and I'm guessing my excess?

I'm guessing I have no leg to stand on as I took the bate...

Sorry just needed to rant

You drove into his car deliberately. - end of story.

If he was causing all this chaos didn’t driver 2,3 or 4 intervene?
Very true... Sadly apart from horning didn't get much more help.
He was one of those smug kids who "feels he knows his rights and every loophole" just lacks human touch and common sense

If the dashcam shows the damage, it will also have recorded his whole stroppy scene... given you are in it, and now have his details you could request a copy.
Thanks for your message, he was definitely diver 2
That's a good idea but I'm guessing he doesn't legally have to send me a copy?

That's the problem, he was like I have all the time in the world, as he mouthed stuff to me and put his arms behind his head...
I'm a happy go lucky window cleaner, anyone else would have pulled him from his car and done what his parents should have...

I'm guessing it does not exist.

Assume you took photos yourself of his car and your's?

Assume you may have taken other people's details as witnesses to his idiocy?
Have photos of his car and my van, sadly the ppl behind took of as soon as they had chance as they had been waiting so long...

How did they get the chance to take off? Interested in after the 'contact' did he then reverse? if that was the only passing place then you can't have pulled over so how did the cars behind go past you both? or was the passing bay big enough for you both? just trying to picture it?
I had to get the cars behind me to reverse about 100f to where it opened back up and then I reversed back to give my details after he came to me with his phone in hand with the police on the line

It sounded like the police...

What happens if the damage is less then the excess amount? Say £50ish? (Have no idea what a cracked Merc badge can fetch) will it also effect his insurance or just mine? So annoyed with myself

All sorted now.... Bill was £60 and we went half as we were both in the wrong
Him for being a douch and me for reacting to it

Saw this happen once. The non aggressor (and the driver in the right) just switched off his engine, got out and locked his car up. He then walked off, past the other idiot who soon got the message and reversed to let everyone past. laugh
If I was to go back that's exactly what I would have done!
