• Was pretty much 'attacked' today:

    Was waiting in primary position at a junction (just a backstreet, not a big fast road). Pulled off on green, holding centre of lane as there’s a parked car about 10 metres up the road so wanted to hold position, pass it, then pull left.

    Bloke behind gets on the horn, I continue as is signalling for them to stay behind, pass the car and carry on, slowing and pulling left. He pulls alongside-ish, window open screaming at me to get out of the road and then swerves into me. Was so deliberate – was only going about 10mph by this time and he covered about 1.5 metres sideways to get to me!

    Managed to swerve hard left as well and bail on to the pavement. He then stopped and his wife in the passenger seat was in turn shouting at him and saying “oh my god I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry” at me. She restrained him whilst he was fiddling with his belt trying to get out for a scrap! Got half a reg. Then followed at a distance round the corner where they dropped their daughter off at school about 100 metres away! Took the full reg then.

    How does one report these things? Roadsafe?

  • Sounds like a horrible experience. Do whatever you think is the best course of action. Seems to me that contacting the school probably won't do much for you, but it may inform them that one of their pupils' dad is evidently suffering from some kind of anger management problem, is prone to violent behaviour or similar. I think these sorts of details are of interest to schools and how they help the kids in their charge long-term.
