Soldato
I live on a one way street where people take liberties all day by driving the wrong way to reach a main road that takes 90 seconds to get to going the correct way and around the block. (yes, I'm that anal that I've timed it) 
So, I'm just about to cross the road to go through my gate when I spot someone with their headlights on coming the wrong way; so... I step into the road and wave her down and point out her mistake in a reasonable manner, indicating a sign just above my head that is a white arrow on a blue background facing the way she's just come from.
"move!" she says ........ I tell her again, reasonably, that she is travelling the wrong way, and should turn around. She then attempts to drive around me so I move in front of her again.
"move, or I'll run you over" she says ....... ok, I'll call the police, says I; "call 'em" she says.
So I call the police and give the details, meanwhile she calmly lights a cig' and smiles. During this time, a couple who were also walking along, shout "just turn around and go the right way, you stupid *****" (female dog) ...... they get the finger.
Anyway, about 5mins pass while I'm giving the reg' of her car etc, when she decides to turn around and go.
Cutting a long story short...
The police arrive (20 mins) to say that they've stopped her and she admitted going the wrong way but said that she felt intimidated and frightened. I'm 55years old, carrying my Somerfield's shopping bags and am 5ft 6" tall..... go figure.
I said that the situation was quite the reverse and that I had actually been threatened to be run over so check the logs to see WHO telephoned the police and when ....
Upshot is that they say that they're going to give her a caution only; (if that's ok with me) ..... I said ok, and have left it but now feel that someone who actually threatens your life should get a little more than that ...... suppose I'll let it drop, what would you do ? (apart from NOT step into the road).
