Most insane road rage driver ever!

I had the worst commute of my life this morning. Took my usual route, got to the roundabout and some stupid motorist thought he should not have to sit behind me and started hooting. I shifted off to the left as soon as I safely could and pleasantly told him to piss off.
He then decided to run my off the road! Thank god its not my first time on a bike and managed not to hit the parked cars. he then jumped out his car and started ranting and swearing and proceded to SPIT IN MY FACE! Natural reaction (I pushed him and told him to F off). He promptly jumped in his car and waited for me to pull off and kept trying to push me. I eventually found a short cut and got on my way to work.
Next thing I realize he has been waiting for me up the road and jumps out and PUNCHES ME IN MY THROAT WITH HIS KEYS SQUEEZED BETWEEN HIS FINGERS and then runs off!
Needless to say I almost crashed for the second time, but by the time I stopped my bike he had run to his car already.
I honestly can't believe what the world is coming too. Big chunk out my neck all because.....well to be honest I dunno? WTF!

I thought Kenn3th Noye was serving life?
Man, that's horrific. You got the licence plate, right?0 -
I think so, I spoke to two policemen down the road and they weren't to interested, cause I couldn't be sure. I really only have a partial. But to be fair they did refer me to the station.0

Mmm. It ought to be possible to narrow down the possibilities with a partial, given something called "effort". Keep pressing - if you can search on Google using wildcards, one would imagine that the police have the technology to help to some extent. Imo, the plods are being a bit thick and unimaginative and, frankly, idle.Noel PT wrote:I think so, I spoke to two policemen down the road and they weren't to interested, cause I couldn't be sure.

I wonder if the driver would have matching scratches on their hand?
Not good odds, but even so, if the guy is that mental, you have to wonder if he's got a bit of previous.0 -

The guy assaulted you and they weren't too interested? WTF?
Any traffic/CCTV cameras which may have caught the incident(s)?
Give a description of the driver and his car to the police and take a photo of your injuries asap.

Not suprising to me, to be honest. I was hit and run last year and the police had called before I'd even got changed having been driven home by the missus, to tell me that they'd not been able to find the driver. They spent more time getting to the scene than they did "investigating" it (which I think amounted to going to a couple of farms on the way home)cjcp wrote:Noel PT wrote:I think so, I spoke to two policemen down the road and they weren't to interested, cause I couldn't be sure.

For keys to the throat, yes, radio in , get people out looking for the bloke straight away,
He was clearly murderous.0 -
Certainly an effective way of ensuring that they don't have to do all the paperwork!doog442 wrote:prj45 wrote:

I'd have expected them to take some details, maybe call colleagues to look out for a vehicle in the area, probably still on the move, fitting the description and having a similar license place. I dunno, but I reckon that this is more effective than writing some things down a few miles away the following day. But obviously a bit more hassle and not compatible with popping off to get a cuppa.0 -

I would expect them to escort me to the station to take a statement.
Obviously after being assaulted, I would expect to be in a state of shock and not thinking completely clearly. I would expect someone in a position of upholding the law to recognise this, and realise that first statements are best taken whilst the memory is fresh.0 -

It's more the apparent apathy towards the key-in-the-throat which concerns me though. If you're able to give a partial description of a car and of the driver, with th estimated direction of travel perhaps, the POs should be able to send out a message using their so their colleagues can look out for this loon.
Take it they didn't find the idiot you encountered then?FCN 2-4.

Nope. Mind you, the fact they didn't look probably didn't help.
I use the roads regularly and I've not seen him either. I wonder if he wasn't local after all, which is why he figured he could just have a swipe at me scott free.
Technology will bring small, light helmet cams, sooner or later (rather than ones that are like rocket launchers). Hell, they make one for a cat collar!!0 -

only in your dream world
If it was a domestic violence / race hate or homophobic incident then the above would happen
This incident is no different that than a Friday night punch up....attempt murder my arse some of you cycling nuts need to get into the real world0 -
Perhaps not really a helpful comment now, but I would have got out my phone and called 999 at the point after he spat at me. Spitting at you deliberately is assult and it sounds like he was clearly threatening to assult you further. In most circumstances a crime in progress will get you a very rapid police response.0

It was premeditated as well, the guy waited for his victim with a clear intent to cause serious damage and possibly death.
A premeditated punch to the throat with a key not a serious matter? F**k off troll.0 -
Yes - hysterical analogy, to be sure, but it is very much an assault of some sort. Unlike a punch up in Leicester city centre, arguably there was only one aggressor.doog442 wrote:This incident is no different that than a Friday night punch up....attempt murder my ars* some of you cycling nuts need to get into the real world
That said, there might be some grey introduced into that argument by the cyclist standing up for themselves. Unfortunate, I'd have done the same (indeed I have done the same) but the law appears to recommend that you bend over and take the proverbial cucumber with nerry a whimper.
OP - cheer yourself up with fantasies of revenge (or cucumbers - take your pick).0 -
Trouble is, there are some real psychos out there. We tend to assume that the person behind the wheel is basically normal but is just suffering from 'road rage'. Once in a while they really are murderous thugs who have no compunction resorting to violence in response to no provocation whatsoever. We are very vulnerable on bikes unfortunately

oh dear....no need for dramatics love
1. Get out of your cotton wool fluffy blanket world and realise that there is a big wide world outside of your ideal version of all that is good in the world.
2.You sound like a defence barrister working in reverse with your amatuer dramatic view of proceedings
3. Let the bloke report it and let proceedings take its course
4. Its an ABH at worse...forget death, serious damage blah blah blah and stick it in the front of the CPS who deal with stitches, cuts, knockouts, glassings etc ..they will do their upmost to reduce it to exactly what it is....a punch up, no more no less but let the daily mail readers such as yourself have their day0 -

Guys, can we please not have a fight going ever more off topic and personal on a thread about a severely hostile attack on someone.0 -
doog442 wrote:4. Its an ABH at worse...
How do you know that the guy who punched the guy in the throat with two inches of keys sticking out of his knuckles wasn't hoping he would kill his victim (regardless of how it is prosecuted)?
I'd say any person undertaking that action might expect, or even hope, that the person on the receiving end could die from it.
There are some pretty important gubbins in your neck just under the skin just in case you didn't know.0 -
PT at least your ok, well sort off. A little shook up i bet. As for the police well! what can you expect! going of subject a bit i will tell you my story, about two years or so ago my car was in the garage, so a friend borrowed me a little metro, two youths came round that night and decided that they wanted to bend the top of the door down to try and break in. My wife heard the noise and looked out of the window, i ran down the stairs and flung the door open and chassed them half a mle in just my underpants (not pretty mate) unbelievably they ran into a house. I called 999 and told the police everything including the street and house number, the police said am i sure it was that house. They then told me that they have done a check on the house and that as they had no previous convictions there is nothing they could do, FFS! Also whoevers car it was had to report the crime and i would have to witness it, Later on after several months i questioned a bobby on his beat and he said "thats bollocks" did i get the officers number, as it sounded to him that he didnt want the paperwork. So if anyone can explain that one to me please i'm all ears.0
