The red mist descended for a few minutes...

...after someone has just tried to run me over.... twice!

Tootling out of the village, narrow tight 30mph with a bind junction at the pub opening to 1mile of speed free before the main road. Anyway i'm just leaving the village, car coming into the village at some speed decides to wonder across his side of the road towards me, yoof in a black Corsa, my first assumption was dickhead but thought he was just taking the blind junction wide because of the speed he was going.

I'm half a mile down the road, road sweeps right and climbs over a hill and is blind, I hear a horn blaze and the same car swerve into me going 60+, he had to swerve back out just after he nearly killed me otherwise he would end up on the bank, but then he has to swerve back in fast because of the bus on the other side of the road.

At first I didn't know what to think, then quickly realising what he just tried to do I hammered on the pedals to catch the twat at the junction, angry as hell and ready to wrap my sturdy Saracen round his thick little inbred head, alas he was gone.

On my return, had a chat with a neighbour who lives on the road into the village, he said he has seen a yoof driving like a tool but doesn't think he's from the village, anyway eyes peeled now for a reg plate.

What other options are there to catch the twat?

'keep em peeled' as the TV show said. Then get revenge :twisted:

Find out where he parks his car and remove the valves from his wheels.

Get one of them centre punches that you have to push onto a surface and they click as they make a mark.. one of those in each corner of his screen should have him a shattered screen after a few bumps.

Put tomato ketchup along the edge of his windscreen wipers, when he puts them on his screen will be a squishy blur of ketchup goodness

Carry a pocket full of ball bearings and, if he's behind you, throw them in the air.. as he drives into the aerial bearings his screen should shatter

Do it yourself 'stinger' Scaffold plank and numerous 6" nails should do the trick. When the police come round just tell them you are a circus performer and accidently left your bed of nails in the road
On a more serious note, if you can get the reg i'd defo report the little turd :twisted:

Little you can do apart from get his number and report to the cops. Hopefully you are a respectable-looking middle aged bloke and so the local desk officer would take you seriously.

It may well be that he is an -ahem- character who they are already familiar with. If he does get himself in some other entanglements, then this kind of report will encourage them to throw the book.

However it does have to be done sparingly, for fear that you become viewed by the cops as the local looney..

 

[Easy_Rider]

As much as revenge is very appealing, and amusing, I think reporting is the only way, I would rather him taken off the road, certainly can't do both as it's almost certain i'll be booked for criminal damage and he'll have a smirk on his face. But if I do report him i'll just feel like the local busy body loon. There's no winning.
Most of us drove like a tool in our youth, but i certainly never tried to intentionally run people off the road.

 

[IDB1]

If he's been a nuisance around the village, get another 2 or 3 to complain about him.

Sister-In-Law was TrafPol and reckons they do nothing unless they get 2+ complaints about the same person.

I used to have a mate that worked for the DVLA, he came in handy on a couple of occasions.

I hope you find this 'yoof' and give him a slap from all of us.

Just don't try it on if he's got his mates around!

good luck, al.

Camera phone next time you ride.

Get his number plate and report to the Police.

Fine until the tool drives into you or some one else because he cant see out of his screen effectively.

Put tomato ketchup along the edge of his windscreen wipers, when he puts them on his screen will be a squishy blur of ketchup goodness

Carry a pocket full of ball bearings and, if he's behind you, throw them in the air.. as he drives into the aerial bearings his screen should shatter

Fine until the tool drives into yoube cause he cant see out of his screen effectively.

In all honesty, those are not the best thought out plans in the world.
