Barely escaped with my life - advice needed!

Just done the check on the DVLA website and that plate is DEFINATLY for a corsa. So if you are sure on the plate the Audi is using cloned plates!!

As it coming back as that, then is nothing that can be done, either you got the number wrong or its cloned/stolen? Though I would say its reporting as it may time to another incident that may have happened, it may help to catch the nutter behind the wheel.

If this happens to anyone else hang back don't be getting in the way, if any sees the car call the cops this person needs to be stopped.

Had a though. Where abouts did this happen on the A40? As there may be camera along there that picked this up, that may help catch the driver, where any speed cameras set off?

ooooooooo...matron

Firstly - id be utterly amazed if the bill come for you , so dont worry !

2 - what they said about this kind of incident - just imagine theres some 8 yr olds driving the car , would you respond or just move over and let the kiddies play elsewhere - just cos the guy's got a beard, dont mean he's mentally any older...

3 - sounds like cloned plates - thats why hes driving like that - its not his car, hes a little kid playing at driving a brumm brummm...

To one & all (& myslef !) count to 10, walk/ ride away !

yes that does sound a little dramatic, but perhaps in isnt the best thing to actually quote a speed

but then one could say any tosh on the net, i dont see too much of a problem

I wouldn't worry about the speed, I mean you are accelerating to create a suitable gap between you, and due to his driving you are forced into doing this.

This really need to be reported to the Police, I mean what if next week/month we're all saying how awfull it is that a fellow orger is no longer with us, other peeps on the blade/ninja/R1/bandit/hornet etc etc etc orgs are doing the same.

The reg can be put into an ANPR camera and next time it goes through a camera it'll get registered, and if a car nearby it can get stopped. If he was coked up then he'll get done appropriately.

If you go to the Police you can always say that you accelerated and yes you did go over the limit (but not by much say 85 or so) but only to put a safe gap between you both because of his tailgaiting, and you pulled in immediately a space was available, which was after about 200yds or so and immediately slowed back down.

I am and would never in your situation as described take any action against the m/cyclist, even if he did say 120mph, after all you were forced into doing it.

It's the potentially drugged up nutter in a possibly "ringed" car we want.

People have been caught and charged well after the event. For example - the two bikers caught on camera weaving through traffic at 100+. The biker doing 170 on the blade (still to be caught). You have just advertised to the world that you were doing 120+. You even named the road and a time FFS! If the incident was caught on camera then you've made the Police's job real easy for them. Your bike will be ID'd as an SV. They'll trawl public forums (trust me they do it all the time) they'll find your post and you can easily be identified. I'd start praying.

Firstly anybody doing 100+ weaving through traffic needs to be saved from themselves.

Secondly, the Police don't have time to sit and trawl through forums looking for this, only to get to court and the only evidence that can be offered is that of someones own brag, which wasn't stated under caution - this would be laughed out of court.

The only trawling that goes on is where officers are chasing the kiddie fiddlers, you know that line that Joe Public is always coming up with "Why don't you go and catch paedophiles etc"

The trawling of internet sites for the 2 bikers would only be done following complaints from the public etc, where public safety has been compromised to such an extent that these people need to be identified, as much for their own protection.
