Hello,
I'm afraid to be the bearer of bad news, but I have a dangerous experience with one of your driver in a Vauxhall Astra company van regs AA12DAY.
As I was going southbound on Collier Wood High Street after going through the junction, your driver for some reason decided to perform what we call a "Punishment Pass" to teach me a lesson when he have a chance to overtake me, he almost sideswiped me while stepping on the accelerator before performing an emergency stop and manoeuvre due to a vehicle coming out of a side road (Coverton Road) that he almost collide with.
I suspect the reason for his aggressive driving behaviour is that he was frustrated that I was in the primary position due to a traffic island that have no room for two vehicles to pass through safety.
I was quite shaken up by this and I must admitted I sworn quite loudly at the driver moment after he "teach me a lesson".
I would be grateful if you can have a word with the driver at that particular moment (6/06/12 at 12:30 pm), I understand he does not represent your company as a whole, but with the way he was driving aggressively, other may not come to the same conclusion as me.
Best Regards
Edward Scoble.
