This morning a car on the A1 nearly caused a huge pile up. The driver was undertaking, overtaking, slamming his brakes on in front of a van for no apparant reason. The van had to swerve violently on to the central reservation which thankfully he managed to do. The driver of the car then crawled in the middle lane at 20 miles an hour and if anybody tried to overtake him suddenly speeded up. He was also throwing litter and lit cigarettes out of his window.
I wouldn't usually do this but it made me so angry as it was 7.00 in the morning and I had both my children in the car and they were really scared.
We got the car's registration number - does anybody know if it is possible to report this to anywhere?

I contacted Avon and Somerset after seeing a 4x4 driver try to run somebody off the road for having the audacity to overtake (cleanly) them. The police said that unless the driver who was threatened got in touch there was little they could do.
You're right - nothing they can do. They did take down the number though as if there are any future incidents involving this car it is useful to have it. (But I think they'll probably just throw it away...)
Can't believe how upset it made me. I've been driving 15 years and am used to prats but this really was scarey - I now understand about road rage - I wanted to do unspeakably horrible things to him...
I once saw a hired van being driven erratically (swerving across lanes, racing up behind people and flashing his lights etc) on the A34 / M3, and took the registration and the phone number of the vehicle hire firm and phoned the hire company to report that the vehicle was being driven dangerously. No idea whether they did anything about it though.
Hope you feel better soon x
The police were quite wrong (and dare I say lazy?) to tell you there was nothing they could do, unless you live in Scotland. In England and Wales only one credible witness is required. In Scotland two witnesses are required.
There is, however, the possibility that this will result in you saying what you have, and the driver saying that no such thing happened. They should still have traced and interviewed him. If he kills somebody tomorrow who will feel guilty? Not you because you have done what you could.
If it happens again though, it will be as well to take the numbers of a few other cars.
It is now possible to get an ASBO put on to dangerous drivers, the only drawback is that it will take more than one person to activate the ASBO, if there is one particular driver in your area and you can find other drivers to be witnesses and give evidence the ASBO will be given and it is up to the offending driver to prove the ASBO is not justified.
I know it does not apply to the above but it could be usefull to know in the future!
