What to do in the event of a confrontation.

Do not gesture to an offending driver to pull over for a ticking off or even a fight, for one you dont know the other drivers state of mind, does he have concealed weapons? is he a total hardcase? in which case you stand a good chance of getting injured or killed. You could even as an act of self-defence or offence beat the crap out of him, but self-defence these days is not admissable in a court of law and how many witnesses will you find? i can assure you nobody wants the hassle of going to court.

Think about it, if someone drives like a loony, make a note of the reg and report it, if someone wants to have a go and pulls up in front of you, stop at a fair distance behind them, remain in your car and lock it, when the offender is alongside your car move away steadily until you are clear hopefully by the time he gets back in his car you are well clear and the inital anger may have subsided and if he follows, drive to the nearest Police station or populated area and bash your horn attracting attention. If you are unable to get past him, ensure your car is locked and hit your horn repeatedley and dial 999 on your mobile for help.

If you think you are hard, Google "Kenneth Noye road rage" and think again…
