• had two run ins in the last 24 hours with super aggressive drivers, seems to be bad luck as i tend to manage to avoid them.

    last one was just now and a guy came speeding at me down a narrow street, managed to get out of the way but he still clipped me. got a pic of his plate and asked what he was doing (he had only stopped because it was a dead end for cars). he started shouting/swearing, his mate got out of the car and the guys unloading a van next to all of this told me "leave it, he'll probably kill you", which i believed from looking at him. i cycled off, they turned the car around and it felt like they sped at me from behind, so i hopped onto the pavement while he shouted out of the window and drove off

    worth reporting? will anything actually happen?

  • Worth reporting but unlikely much will happen without video footage. At best they'll run the plate and maybe pick them up for something else.

  • No one should ever have to deal with that kind of behaviour from agressive drivers, report it anyway did you get license plate details?

    Take care

  • Did you get contact details for the van loading witness?

    Can you get them?

  • Since lockdown eased I've barely ridden, its fowl out there. Up in Scotland even we have a massive increase in the number of raging bellends in charge of motor vehicles, its like they have saved up all their dick moves from 4 months off the road and are now discharging them at anyone who dare slow their progress in their 1.0 Audi A1 (white).

    Report the hell out of that, if they are already on that 'norman' list (or whatever the funny name for it is, it tracks re-portable bad behavior for use in future to help 'characterize' the offender if they ever get dragged into magistrates about something. If they go into court and are like 'yeah never saw him, total random accident', but the norman report has them down 3 times already for aggressive driving and behavior then it will help in that case), then it helps down the line when they hit someone and then claim smidsy
