Ignore and forget?

[shifty_uk]

Nipped out to the gym today, a quick 10 minute journey from home via a short strip of unmarked dual carriageway.

Noticed this chap in an old astra tailing me for the entire journey and then blocked me in once I'd arrived and parked up. Proceeded to take down my number plate and said he's going straight to the police and that I'll be getting a visit from them shortly.

Apparently I was doing "40" on the dual carriageway which is apparently 30, though unmarked. I certainly wasn't. I remember gradually overtaking him, not driving in excess at all - I don't like to put my foot down, it's only a 1.2. Obviously his speedo is at 30 and he's assumed I'm driving OTT because I nipped past him.

I said that's a bit excessive, I crawled past but apparently I'm just another boyracer, like the one that killed a relative of his. Fair enough if he's lost someone close but there's no need for aggressive threats. He then mentioned that the chap which killed his relative is "dead, I've got his name".

Anything the Police can do? I rely on the car a lot for uni and work, last thing I need are the police breathing down my neck about speeding.

If what you say is true then the guy is a Tool. If theres no cameras then what are they going to do? Your word versus theirs. I wouldn't worry about it

I would forget about it, theres nothing they can do.

Who was the bloke?

 

[NoIdea]

I doubt the police will do anything, just some mug trying to be all commie on your ass.

I'd report him for threatening you and tailing you thinking you were gonna get man raped.

End of the day how can he prove you were speeding, what a CRETIN of the highest proportions.

 

[kaiowas]

Wouldn't be surprised if he reports so many cars that the guys at the police station will be well trained in taking whatever information he gives them and filing it under 'B'

 

[dekez]

What a nut job, ignore, he'll find someone else to be angry at soon enough.

A single police officer cannot do you without having evidence to collaborate his opinion.

Single Mr Joe public will get laughed at.

 

[shifty_uk]

Thanks chaps. He did appear a bit of a nutcase, my time in the gym was cut short as I was worried about damage to my car.

There's no cameras on the road, no markings or signs and it's completely dead, no footpaths either.

 

[LOAM]

when they visit laugh and explain that you rejected his advances and he's been stalking you ever since.

Dual carriageway is national speed limit isn't it?

Shoulda said "you should see this thing go to 88" to wind him up haha

This is why I always keep a replica gun in my glove box.

My first thought was that they're 50 mph?

Anyway, he will be laughed out of the Police station.

A dual carriageway is 70.

I like this idea.
You could tell him you leave a trail of fire...

 

[antijoke]

Well no they are not all that speed.

There is a dual carriageway in Wigston where I used to live and that was 30.

 

[Guerrilla]

The guys sounds mental, as has been said i would doubt the police can do anything as it would be your word against his.

Haha, classic. I would love this to happen to me, would be so funny. He is just someone with too much time on his hands. You are probably on that site where they report people for silly things, can't remember the name of the site now.

70 unless says otherwise?
