I was joining the M4 this morning at junction 12 (about 8:35), when i saw a chap in a Honda HRV get cut up by a lady in a horse box lorry type thing. She cut into his lane and hit his nose and removed his wing mirror, and pushed him off the road!

I was following behind her, and was expecting to have to wait whilst she got out, and caused an obstruction on what must surely be one of the busiest roundabouts in the county.

However, she decided that stopping would be a bad idea... She carried on driving, and joined the M4, with me following, i had got her reg plate, and wanted to try and get her to stop. I was tooting, signalling, and pointing for her to pull over. I dont know why, but i was insensed! (sp?) The poor chap then came up behind me as i joined the motorway behind her (enforced 50 limit), and i could see as i drove on that he was beside her and trying to talk to her. She was ignoring him, and drove past two junctions and a services before his motor gave up the ghost and he had to pull over.

I reported is to the police when i got into work. But, what i want to know is, what is the penalty for such an offence?
 
I have not spoken to the guy directly, but the police say that when he reports it, they will inform him that i have given my details, and forward them on to him. I wanted to stop to speak to him, but i got pre-occupied with getting the reg plate, then later is was not safe to stop on the motorway.
:( I just hope he reports it!
