Just go down the local cop shop and ask them to keep a look out for this person and give them the number of his car and the details of the car.
You dont have to give your name and address I think, and I suspect you'll get a better response if you go face to face rather than via the telephone. If you dont bother to report it, how are you going to feel when this moron does eventually take out another biker or cyclist, next time maybe he'll take you out and then you'll kick yourself for not doing anything about it. Personally I'd just keep out of his way, Especially if you know he has a habit of pulling dodgy stuff, why didnt you leave more room so that you had more time to stop instead of putting yourself into a dangerous position like you appear to have done... rule one on a bike, always expect the unexpected... I had somebody pretty much attempt to run me off the road twice today when I was on my pushbike, I ride pretty defensively and if I hadnt been he would have put me in the curb, the only reason he didnt was that I'd clocked what he was up to and gave myself plenty of room to avoid his idiotic driving.. same thing on two wheels be defensive..

There is no way in this world he will get your home address. All of your personal details are restricted. For Police and CPS eyes only.

Dont think thats the case... and any way, surley he could equally follow the same biek everday as you do the car if he really wanted to know where you lived. Call the police and report a dangerous driver, you need a whitness and then fill in the form they send you, they then have to investigate it.. and if they dont want to do anything, keep hassling them.... again and again and again.

I can understand why so many people are cynical about the police response but they really aren't as bad as that.
Like I posted before, go into a station and ask to chat to a traffic officer. Explain your concerns and they will make an effort to do something; they do want to nail people like this. |

It's just the law being fair, you wouldn't like it if you got taken to court and your defence couldn't know who was accusing you? They won't know from a tip off obviously but that won't get him prosecuted for anything.
I know someone who went to court after being attacked by yobs and went a bit pale when he was asked to confirm HIS name and address, he had no idea that would happen. Maybe someone in the know could confirm either way.. Last edited by arenalife; 24-10-07 at 09:03 PM. |

To add to the last, I was five years in a control room...
There was this complete jerk who appeared near where I live driving like an idiot all of the time. One day I passed the details to a crew just about to go out on patrol, within 1/2 hour they'd spotted him and pulled him. The best was, he was wanted on warrant, wanted for questioning about a burglary on our area, and wanted by another police force for questioning. Never saw him again - Good result! ![]() |

I once reported a car for overtaking on a blind corner at well over the speed limit, police said there is nothing they can really do without evidence - video etc, or the police actaully seeing it. The police were nice and i can see there point members of the public can't just report stuff and expect the police to make arrests.
They took my details and said that if there were more complaints or the police saw the person in question then what me and my friend saw could be used as evidence. |
