Is "we" Cheshire Police?

yep

I'm not sticking up for anyone, but in this day and age we live in very violent time and should we be telling other how to act or what to do. I once did a up and down hand movement to a driver and he chased me up the road and treatened to kill me, if I just raised my eyes to heaven and shook my head he would not have turned violent.

You don't know that. I've told loads of drivers to "f*ck off" or similar, and made hand gestures and nothing has happened to me. In the same way that I cannot predict that nothing will happen to anyone, you cannot predict what someone would have done had you not gesticulated as you did.
And we do not live in a "very violent time" that's just nonsense spouted by the media and the politicians who want to control the masses and blame the poor/immigrants for everything.

Poor sod, who would think someone would drive a lorry over you deliberately.

True, today's society is the least violent it's ever been

I'd imagine that if you gauged reality by what the media tell you then you'll also think that England is about to tip into the sea due to the number of immigrants over here stealing our jobs, our benefits and our health care, and houses. And worshipping false gods, the rotters. And that Scotland needs England really bad.

Plus the greenhouse effect could be halted if people drove their cars less in Britain

No matter what the final verdict, stepping out in the highway in front of a truck is probably not the best idea.

Good to see.

I hate to sound like a Daily Mail reader, but I read yesterday of a Teesside youth who killed an 8 year old boy whilst driving a stolen car on a footpath. He got 5 years and served 18 months. My faith in the justice system is eroding.

No we don't.
