Had this fruit loop psycho in a black VW transporter decide that passing me when exiting a round about with a gap of 6 inches was giving me loads of space.
He decided he wanted to have a word with me, the location wasn't the best for me if things turned ugly, so I rode till I was opposite some shops so that there could be witnesses and more importantly CCTV if things turned nasty.
The incident happened on this roundabout: http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&l...RR-kS60p6k-VKPUbFIwqVQ&cbp=12,293.95,,0,12.91 I had just exited the roundabout taking a strong position which he seemed to object to and tried to pass within 6 inches of me. I knew it was 6 inches as I put my hand out to try and protect myself I hit the side of his van. I take a primary on the exit to this roundabout to essentially avoid this very situation. Had he waited a couple more seconds I would of moved over to secondary and let him past and I wouldn't of had to go through the whole situation.
This guy was a total nut job. I will go through what he said,
"I held back for you even though other cars passed you." - I commend him for that, by the time the other cars had passed I had already accelerated up to 25mph and for him to pass safely he would of had to break the speed limit. But he kept coming back to this to excuse his stupidity and wouldn't listen to what I had to say on the matter, because this had nothing to do with the situation.
"You were in the way and that was you having a go at me because of the other drivers" - No it wasn't! This guy had assumed that I took the primary because I had some sort of chip on my shoulder because of some sort of grudge with the other cars. I tried to tell him that this was not the case, but he wouldn't listen.
As well as saying all that he made threats of physical violence to me and said that he had a hammer in his van. When he was doing that I knew this was a guy not to be reasoned with and had to think of a way of breaking communication by not giving him what he wanted, which was an argument.
Because he used threats, I am looking to report this to the Police and see if they could have a word mainly about the pubic order offence he had committed, but also possibly about the dangerous stunt he pulled on me to provoke the situation.
Just wondering how would I go about reporting it?
