near Miss and threatening behaviour

[cyberknight]

Had a close overtake on the way home so i shouted IO !! as he went past ( on the MTB today so no horn )

The driver pulled up and jumped out waving his fists, i shout " you overtook to close as i breeze past.

The driver then proceeds to get back in his car and do it again to prove a point, i think ahh well let it go.

In the next village i see the car parked in a pub car park and the guy is standing in the road waving his fits asking if i want to fight.
I get off my bike and ask him if he has read the highway code to which he says he has, i say does he know the safe distance for overtaking, and his response is ;" I will overtake as close as i like you were in the way "

To this i reply he is using threatening behavior and will report him to the police, he says do what you like trying to call me bluff and walks over the road into the pub.

I take the opportunity to note his car reg etc and call the plod who take the details down and give me an incident number.

I am so getting a cheap camera next pay day and taking an alternative route home for a while.

In my experience those who stand waving fists and mouthing off are never going to act on it.

All wind and p*ss as my dear old mam would say.

Bloody pathetic annoying twat huh, but well done on keeping calm and playing by the rules.

Cross-fingers that something happens and yes, I want a cam too, fed up of it all.

Gosh, yes Officer, I saw him enter the pub some time ago... and he smelt of alcohol already...

lets just hope he wasn't tanked up.

Seriously,there is a problem in this country isn't there?

Being only 5 foot 7 " and maybe 154 llbs ish i think he stood a chance at intimidation as he was 6 foot ish , trouble is i do not take crap ( see sig )
and would be well prepared to defend myself ( ala wing chun ) .

Not getting into a debate about best defense style , it is just what i know and push came to shove i would defend .Of course you try to use all other means of calming the guy down before it comes to that.
Then of course you can get into the whole thing where self defense turns into assault, not worth the hassle imho

As always I would stand my ground. I dont let anyone try to threaten or intimidate me ever.

I would just asks him if he wants to risk an assualt charge to prove his point on a motoring matter and that surely accepting some friendly advice is better than court and a custodial sentence, especilly since I have your registration number and you are easy to find.

Ah bollocks, just wade in, lamp him round the head with a lock, when he goes down start kicking. Once you've got him well bloodied and begging for mercy start beating his head against the ground. Do this steadily and punctuate each thump with a question, maybe:-

who's the Daddy???

Then calmly get up and walk back to your bike, make sure you give hard stares to the crowd of onlookers. Maybe throw in the odd, 'you want some as well?' question to them. As you cycle off make sure they all hear you say ****ing wimp. That should sort it

Like your style

no problems here with those taking no shoot but I'd have kept on riding, it just ain't worth it in my book

+1 but that's probably because I've never been a fighter

Jeese McB, have you been snorting Methadrom ? If not, I always suspected you had it in you.
