So, the latest e-mail from the merry Plod states that they have decided that as the orignal video has been in the public domain with the "Numpty" comments on it, they feel it would not e correct to proceed further. They have however recorded the Reg and details of the incident in case of further complaints about the driver. They have also checked that the driver has insurance, and that the MOT and tax are in date, and that there is nothing outstanding against the car on their intelligence system.
So, in conclusion, worth reporting, but please get it right next time, and they'll take action. They did confirm that this is exactly the sort of incident that they are interested in, and that its unfortunate that my labeling him a numpty has stopped them acting.
I've also had some useful comments back from them regarding videos and filling in the roadsafe forms, which I'll turn into a new post so the info is up front somewhere.
