The police had a safer vale stand in the town square today. I had a chat with a policeman there about his advice in dealing with road rage morons.
Its not a big problem here but happens now and then usually when you least expect it.
His advice was allways consider your own safety first ie dont get into a slanging match if possible .
I asked what action they would take if I reported an incident of threatening abusive language and he confirmed what i allready thought that while the person may get spoken to a prosecution would be unlikely unless you could corroborate your story with an independant witness.
He did say however that it is worth reporting as if more than one report about the same person is received this could be a different matter.
At least he seemed to take my enquiry seriously , if we all started a zero tolerance policy to abuse and reported every incident maybe something would happen .
