I'd agree, well if it were me I'd report it, Just tell the car make and the registration and just say in your opinon it was being driven erratically and dangerously and as a road user you felt intimidated, dont make mention of your speed and how you reacted. Put it across that your just concerned road user etc etc etc. At least they'll have it on file and if that person is involved in anything further then they might appreciate all the evidence they can get about the drivers attitude towards fellow road users.

I've had time to calm down and have realised my errors and have learned not to react this way again, you cant win so just get out the way. But yeah I'm gonna go down the local constabulary tomorrow and put it this way...I mean...who wants this scumbag on the road?

i have this happen a fair bit on the way back from Ace on the A406, i just let them go, as said its not worth toying with them, just drop back let them go, SV's are quick but they aint no Gixxa6, on a quicker bike yeah you could just go.....but it still may go wrong, in teh end it aint worth it. shame there were no traffic lights you could catch up at and have a word, now i would do that...

without sounding liek im having a go, i would think twice before letting a car push me up to 120+...i'd find a way to get teh fuk out of his way, let him kill himself....

Agree with others, just let these things go. BTW you can ASBO someone due to bad driving these days, maybe worth a go next time when you know you're not at risk of being done yourself for speeding, etc?

Just leave it if i was you...

If you remember him so vividly whose to say he doesn't remember you as vivid?

You'll be seriously ****ed if he's just had a visit off the rozzer's the day before and he see's you again pootling down the road...

when stuff like this used to happen to me,i used to pull up alongside whoever it was.my mate on the back who always rode pillion(a well known headcase)would then kick out with his size 10 german paraboots into the car door,flash the proverbial middle finger and away we went leaving the driver with a nice little bill to get his door fixed.

years on i realise this was,nt big or clever,but what the it made us feel better

As other have said, you just have to move out of the little dicks way so they can go kill them selfs in a ditch!

You may have got that reg wrong if it is showing as a corsa, or as you say maybe false plates.

I would just pull over or slow down. Just get some distance.

I haven't read the entire thread, but myself I would have pulled over and called the cops to say that there was nutter on the lose.

As others have said get out of the way of them, you can never win a battle like this on a bike. Your own saftey is paramount in a situation like this, let it go. Let someone else handle it, if he crashes then its not your fault.

If you do report this nutter, then don't state what speed you were going at! You were far too busy staying alive, to look at the speedo. You just know that he ws going fast.

you can check the plate for sure on the DVLA website for taxing cars. put in the reg plate and make and see if it works.If it works for the corsa and not the Audi then the Audi is suspect
