I have seen a truck in lane one pull over and block someone doing this but in your case the event is well and truely over so you will need to come to terms with that.Counselling is available if you need it.(From me at vast expense )

I don't know if you should complain to the police or the local council, but there would be no harm in phoning one of them and asking.

Also am not quite sure what happens as a result of recieving an ASBO. Perhaps they get points on their license, increased insurance premiums, or possibly a ban, or maybe just a warning until more complaints come in.
this is interesting, what if we all rang the police, as we were in town on business and this tw*t too the proverbial? i'm sure 100 of us would ring up???

Here you go dude........

...........find the van and DROP a couple or four roofing tacks ("clout head nails") whilst walking in the vicinity.

Seriously though - I'd be on the phone with his plate for that. It's VERY naughty and not looked upon at all well. These people should have to ride shotgun in an ambulance or fire engine under blues in order to appreciate what the hard shoulder is there for. Send them out for a week so that they lose a weeks wages as well as a nasty fine!

ASBOs - very much misunderstood by Joe Public. They aren't parking tickets to be dished out at the slightest thing. I don't fully understand either.

Before you get too upset, the van driver might have had a genuine reason to be breaking the law like this.

For all you know it could be a plain clothes police operation in an unmarked van, or a bloke driving with a pregnant woman onboard who is on route to hospital. Or maybe an elderly passenger who is suffering a heart attack.

I sometimes wonder what I would do if I was driving a car or a van in a genuine emergency situation where I needed to get somewhere fast in a life or death situation, and how I would get through heavy traffic without rubbing all the boy racers and stubborn drivers up the wrong way. So they don't go over the top in impeding my progress.

my suggestion would be to take a deep breath and count to 10.

no use blowing a gasket over some guy who was in a hurry, he took a chance breaking the law he may have got away with it this time, he may do again but he'll get caught one day i'm sure. vigilantes rarely win in the long run
