- Annotated footage from a road rage incident, committed by the driver of HN66 HXA.
Update: December 2019 - Vehicle registered owner (female) failed to declare who was driving at the time of the incident and was invited to attend court. Fined £1000 and six points on her license! They didn't get the perpetrator (most likely her son), but glad of some kind of outcome!
This footage has only been released in public, after the conclusion of the court case.
The incident begins to unravel at about 1:30 until 2:30 - the reason this video is so long is because the Police require 2 minutes prior and 2 minutes after the event to be included in the evidence; to show that you yourself are not being the idiot or committing any offences.
Raw footage: • Road Rage HN66 HXA - C...
Incident occurred in January 2019 - and captured in my Dash-cam. I was so incensed I posted the video to the Thames Valley Police (TVP) crime reporting web-site; more as a "fire and forget" thing to get it off my chest.
I had just dropped my son of in a residential area near a park and leisure centre. His friend lives across the road in the houses to the right.
As I drive off, I see ahead of me a car speeding, and there is only room for one car - he does pull in and wait (great!). I gave a smile and a nice gesture and say "slow down" - after all there are kids in the built up area, and potentially people exercising from the leisure centre!
He beeps angrily, and as I proceed I see the car speedily slamming into reverse, and screeching after me. I turn right on another road, and begin to pass cars to the left.
The other driver races past, squeezing past the very tight room on the right, almost colliding, and potentially completely against any potential oncoming traffic, then pulls in front of me, "brake tests" near a junction at the end of the road.
He then reverses back, and threatens me before again hooning off, flicking a bird and speeding past a cyclist just after the junction.
Upshot is: A few months after reporting, TVP contacted me saying they intended to prosecute the driver; I had forgotten I'd even reported the incident and had some convincing that I was being called by a police officer about, and it was not some kind of "scam" caller!
TVP kept me up to date over the following weeks, and after another couple of months they informed me that the registered keeper of the vehicle (female) was refusing to name the driver as she is obliged to do. Therefore, they prosecuted her instead. In court, she refused to even view the footage and took 6 points and £1000 penalty for her, presumably, cowardly son - though it could have been hubby.
Great video. Nice to see these idiots on the roads not getting away with it (even though it was only the registered keeper, but still a result). Well done Sean 👍
It's a crazy world out there with people getting offended by petty things. You never know what will set someone off, so just ignore and drive away. Never ever go after someone you've clashed with, that's just asking for trouble; I usually drive the opposite way. In my opinion, people who fail to name a driver should be threatened with jail time. Stay safe everyone.
Best experience of road rage I've encountered was some wanker in a transit who cut me up in Hyde then came out with the usual diatribe. His work number was on the side. I rang him later as a "policeman" who had witnessed his dangerous driving and informed him he could expect a notice of intended prosecution in the next two months and the offence carried a mandatory 12 month ban. He must have really enjoyed that two month wait!
BMWs should come with a legal insurance policy included from the dealership. Jokes aside, I reported another BMW running two red lights in a row and never hear from the police since then, but it's good to know some cases are addressed.
With any luck his Mummy or girlfriend who owns the car won't let him use it again. But £1000 and 6 points for her, hope he's worth it! 😆
Wow! An RX8 that starts!
How are you, friend? Can I use your clip in my video for Educational Purpose with credit and link? Also how do you want me to express your reactions on the video
How sad some people are. Being in a "rush" but still got the time to chase you and saying you're a twat.
Living as I do outside the UK, I've driven only occasionally on their roads these past 2 decades, but it seems to me things are getting worse and worse there lately, what with increased vehicle numbers and deteriorating driver behaviour.
Driving is hard work nowadays, too many bad angry drivers out there
Hello mate! Is it okay to use it please ? Credited of course.
That would shake me up - aggression for no reason signals a dangerous narcissist.
Possibly refused to name the driver for umpteen reasons, not insured to drive that car, no licence/wrong licence perhaps, disqualified, wanted criminal, the list goes on.......
Shame the wrong person got punished, there's little justice in this and shows a massive flaw in our legal system to charge someone who has video evidence of them not driving or even in the vicinity. People within families and company's borrow cars all the time and the owner is not responsible for how they use them. We are responsible for our own actions. Something seems very morally wrong with this system. Hopefully the lady was as awful of a person as her alleged son is at the least. No intended criticism towards you Sean.
I'm guessing that he/she giggled like a school girl as they drove off, rather than waiting for a reply.
Why would you think his reaction would be like that? Did you acknowledge him stopping at the end? Did your smile come across misconstrued as something else?
What a massive tool. If he'd tried that on with me, he would've gone home with no teeth.
take a chill pill and go home safe to your family and not to jail
He probably hasnt got the car anymore,he will have written it off by now!!
He was quite polite and reasonable compared to an Audi driver.
