Yet another Road Rage Nutjob strikes again...:(

carlpenn · 16th June 2008, 07:38

This morning, as always, I took my Wife to the Train station.

Without giving too much away about where I live

as I waited to turn left onto the Doxey Road, a young lady in an Audi TT passed me, followed by a White Ford Escort Diesel. I then pulled out to the left as the road was clear.

Shortly after I pulled out, I could hear the White Escort driver blowing his horn and I could clearly see that he was extremely close to the TT, now the TT Driver was carefully negotiating the Speed humps we have on Doxey road, as any careful driver would, especially as teh TT has a Narrow wheelbase, so she could not straddle the bumps.

The Escort driver was within inches of the TT and was continually blowing his horn and swerving out into the opposite lane to attempt to pass.

After a few hundred yards, the Escort driver then swerved out without hesitation - So obviously didnt check the road ahead was clear, then accelerated at great speed down doxey road and out of sight.

I noted his Reg Mark and the Audi TT's and when I returned home, had no guilt in reporting the Idiot to the Police, also informed the Police that should teh TT Driver wish to make a complaint, I would be prepared to give a full statement.

So, if you are in Stafford area be aware that there is an idiot driving round, or at least another idiot.

I wasn't affected by this loon, it was another motorist being intimidated.

True. Thats why I have a pro active approach to this sort of thing now.

Sadly it is up to the other driver to complain formally, which I doubt they will.
