He sounds like a plonk but some of things being suggest are a bit rediculous... any car driver could take offence to your actions whilst on the bike and do the same to you.

If he's alongside you being an idiot either speed up or slow down, its just not worth the hassle.

I see it every day on my commute, people blatantly speeding up or blocking people or cutting people up. Its pointless road warrior antics that always end badly.

I bet deep down you know you sped up to a speed where you knew he wouldn't get by just to be awkward as 'he's on a scooter'... although I doubt very much you will admit to it.

If a car driver could bring me off just by braking too hard or drifting towards me, then I need to give up biking before I kill myself.

If someone engine brakes and slams the anchors on infront of you for no reason its just fecking silly, theres no need for it.

Take a pinch of salt and then throw it over your shoulder

To be honest its the overall ethos of getting stressed and doing dangerous stuff on the road to get one over on someone, there is so much of it about nowdays. Theres no need for it and people need to relax and let people get on with it.

I agree with the above comments.....yes the guy was a ****, yes what he was doing was stupid, but the best thing to do is to take a deep breath and be the better man/woman safe in the knowledge that you did the right thing and that they will get their comeuppance.

Agreed ideally there would be less stressed dangerous driving about, but I'm talking about people cutting people up, etc, not criminal damage. Turning a blind eye is easier said than done when a wee scrote has just kicked in the door on your new car and ridden off, and if indeed the ped is properly registered, he'll deny it when the police knock on his door, and your witness statement alone won't be enough to take it any further.

At the very least you want to bring him to a stop and launch his ignition keys into the nearest field. I wouldn't be very happy with a thousand pounds worth of bodywork damage just 'cos I did the right thing and they'll get their comeuppance. Would you? If so your a better man/woman than me and you've chosen the correct forum username.
