dealing with rogue car drivers

c2c

hi all, i commute to work at varying times due to shift working, but all this week i have mainly been coming home at 6am. just lately a BMW driver has been extracting huge amounts of pleasure by flying past me with nary a hairs breadth to spare. this has caused me to very nearly soil my undergarments. i could change my route i know but i want revenge i want it very very badly. any suggestions..........????

nasty.↲
Buy a rear view mirror and next time your see him about to pass you leap onto his bonnet climb in through his sunroof and give him a dam good telling off. ↲
The leap alone should convince him that your a mental and he should steer clear.

Borrow a helmet cam and turn him in to the rozzers.

At the very least take down his reg and tell the Police he knocked you off. Your word against his and he will get some stress over it.

had a guy in a car cut me up going in to a pub car park, no signal just turned across me. in the bar i pointed this out and his response was he doesnt signal to cyclists as they are all c*** and shouldnt be on the road.

He was later pulled over by the cops after an "anonymous" tip off that he was driving pissed.

i would but he goes past me at such warp speed that i cannot read it. i have gesticulated at him in the standard, well known, "you are a w***er", approved manner, but that is the extent of my retaliation thus far.

i think what i will end up doing, after speaking with a few of the lads, is drive my car in one day, and aided and abetted by aforementioned "lads" rolling road block the twat and, ahem, give him a good talking to as suggested previously.

There can't be much going on at 6am.

If you reported it and explained it's happening at the same time in the same sort of place daily then the police might just happen to park up around there waiting for a call instead of parking up somewhere else 8)

Or maybe not :?

Keep an eye open for him, and when he's about 30 yards away, throw a liberal quantity of sharp tacks onto the road behind you. He won't have time to react (or even notice if you do it carefully). Result = 4 flat tyers for the w@nk3r !

Revenge. Best served cold. Find out where he lives and seduce his wife.

Have often been tempted to use water balloons and a mirror and lug it at said driver where I know there to be a problem.

seriously though, dont do anything that will get you killed or others.. or damage anyones property. Just aint worth it. If you want to take it seriously then report it to Plod, sadly some forces wont take it seriously until they hit you or get out and assualt you. A crime stoppers online form could be filled in, as could a stopSMIDSY with time and dates and your fears (could be the guy is over the limit and his judgement is screwed)- atleast with these two they can log it and go to those in power and say "this is the story, what are you going to do about it!?"

Get up a bit earlier, earlier enough to get to the next stopping point e.g. lights, where you can take his reg down, with an accurate description of the car and the driver. Take a photo on your phone, if you can.

Have done this myself. Standing there pointing a large camcorder at them as they pass seems to have an effect on their behavior and I've seen drivers slow down from unsafe speeds. Perhaps they think I'm a speed trap

What part of Brizzle does the idiot claim to own the roads in? Too early for me to be on the roads but always nice to know what idiots to look out for.

I assume you are joking cos that's more likely to result in him losing control and running over and killing the OP which I think is what he's trying to prevent

Having once hit a 3 inch screw with the back tyre and having the rear wheel blow out at speed I dont think anyone should throw stuff like that in the road. One of the most frightening experiences of my life - trying to bring a 20mph bike to a stop without crashing. Buckled my rear rim too.

Can't quite believe no one has picked this up.

Fabricate a collision, lie to the police, lie in court and try to get a false conviction.

Sounds like a plan.

A sh!t plan, produced by a retard.

Next.

Mangina, surely?

Got a car?

Use it for one day to follow him to his place of work. Confront him there and say you'll follow him home one day if he keeps doing it.

Scare the living daylights out of the fucker!

Oh and say you got his number plate and informed several people if anything happens to you, who did it.

Wasps' nest in my ass. Must be the hot weather.

Tell me that that suggestion was anything other than sub-cretinous. Or that it was tongue in cheek. Because IM (not so) HO, despite some undoubtedly first class stupid posts this week, that one is head and shoulders Stupid Post Of The Week.

Well......yes. We can argue about something else though.

What are your thoughts on the coalition so far? I think Nick Clegg is really good. He left the tea bags in for just the right amount of time on Wednesday.

I heard that too. But I also heard that he puts too much milk in. He's stopped doing MIF, but he has a p!ss poor knack of filling the cup the brim when he pours the milk.

Poor show, but I never thought he was much of a team player.

George Osbourne has announced that the budget milk has been skimmed from September 1.

Discreet water pistol with brake fluid in it.

As he drives near you fire the water pistol and take the paint off his car.

The Daily Mail will wind this forum and this thread will be front page news.

Teabags? Teabags?

BTW: I've never understood the opposition to MIF, because I think that way it mixes better, and scalds the milk less.

Use and old water bottle, surely more discreet than a water pistol Just make sure you don't mix them up when you need a swig.

It was semi tongue in cheek

You abusive Keyboard warrior (tm)

I was waiting for someone to comment on it for my next response but since your comment was just that of an opinionated arsehole I will just return the favour.

It's a class thing. If you want to mix with the upper classes, add the milk in last, or prepare to be sneered at. The most common (no pun intended) explanation is that poor quality china might crack if hot tea were poured directly onto it, so milk first would protect the cups.

because I think that way it mixes better, and scalds the milk less.

I believe the scientific debate about the effect on flavour continues, inconclusively;) But if something is happening to affect the flavour, it probably isn't scalding. Scalding would mean that the temperature difference at the point of contact is so high that the milk cannot conduct heat away from the point of contact quickly enough to prevent the heat changing the nature of the milk. Unless you add the second liquid to the cup in the tiniest of dribbles, the overall ratio of tea to milk should make no difference; if the tea is hot enough to scald, there will be some scalded milk (and the tongue is very sensitive).
