Hi

Is it possible to get someone’s contact details from just their registration plate?

I was driving home from work, stuck behind a car on the A635 - a beautiful road in the Peak District. Suddenly the driver in front THROWS a PLASTIC BOTTLE out of the window onto the grassy verge. Naturally, this disgusted me so I wrote down the license plate number with the hope that I could track down the owner and write him a strongly worded letter!

I know it was an older man because I overtook him and SCOWLED at him. He didn’t notice though. I thought about following him but I’d already overtaken by that point, and I was too far ahead to think about waiting for him.

I just want to let this man know how much of a scumbag he his, is there anything I can do?

License plate number available on request :p

No.

Forget him and get on with your life.
 
No offence...but do you have nothing else better to do?

Dear lord, someone has thrown a plastic bottle out of a car! Won't someone please think of the children! :p
 
I was sat behind an old vectra and a newer astra at a red light at Charing Cross in Glasgow. The astra decided to pull out and go through the red light of one of the busier junctions in Glasgow.

After than a fabia decided to pull alongside the vectra at the red,even though it's single lane, and then shot off when it went green.

Every day I step in the car I could report someone for doing something stupid.
 
You should have had one of those dash mounted cams, that way you'd have hard evidence of his crime. Until then, he'll still be at large. :p
 
It annoys me too, but really, there are much more important things to be getting your knickers in a twist over. You'll probably just end up getting stabbed anyway.
 
If that winds you up so much, don't ever drive in London, you'll have an anuerysm within 10 minutes.

I don't think overtaking him while trying to get his attention by staring at him is particularly safe either.

"It is an offence to drop litter in any place open to the air, including private land, and land covered by water. A person found guilty can be fined up to £2,500.

Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) may be issued by local authorities to people caught in the act. If paid on time the offender avoids facing a criminal prosecution."

There we go, report it to the local council and he might get fined £2,500.

Of course this is unlikely as you have no proof.

While I can sort of understand people saying it's too trivial to worry about, at the same time, if everyone just chucked their rubbish on the floor, the country would be even more of a ****hole than it already is, and these scum deserve to be taught a lesson.

You should have followed him home and then dumped the contents of your kitchen bin in his garden/letterbox.

Write a book, the way it is worded has me on the edge of my seat, waiting for the next chapter :p

On topic, it annoys me too. You know when the grockles have come down to Devon as litter starts to appear on the road *shakes fist*

Well strictly speaking I do it quite regularly, but I'm being factious.

It annoys me too, but I accept that most of the time, there's not much I can do about it.
