yesterday had a driver undertake me dangerously, when i caught up to have a word he deliberately swerved at me
idio was in a company car and I got his rego and the company details, i then called the company who promised to get back to me. later as they had not got back to me i reported it via roadsafe and then called the company.
they told me they were still waiting for the drivers return as they have video cameras in their cars, i instructed them to save the video footage.
below is the email thread between me and the police (including the report i lodged online)
I told them that I had reported the incident to the police and that if the footage disappeared it would be evidence tampering.
