I would place a complaint against the driver of the car that was tailing you if he really was that close, that's more dangerous than a few mph over the limit.

feel sorry for you bud, thats pretty harsh!

Was driving the car to my girlfriends the other day, the roads leading up to her house are renowned for speeding, and I often see marked/un-marked cars hiding in places. Well it was around 10pm and I shot across a roundabout a little eagerly and out of nowhere I car appears about 3 inches from my rear bumper, I realised it was most lightly an un-marked copper so kept to the limit, after a few minutes and realising I was not planning on speeding the car did a U turn.

Remember that objects in your mirrors can appear closer than they actually are.

From first hand experience, some of them also like to talk a lot of shit to make it feel like they have the arrest of the century. If someone's tailgating you on a dual carriageway/motorway, just pull over and keep dropping your speed till they get the hint and find someone else to hassle.

If anyone gets up behind me like that I don't speed up at all, quite the opposite! I slow down slowly until quite a bit below the speed limit, if they continue to drive up my arse I'll speed up quickly to the speed limit and if they're still there I'll do the same again.

Also are you quite a violent person? Only I find it rather extrodinary you'd get off the bike, take your helmet off and attempt to whack a car driver with it. Confused

I had an unmarked police car drop down to low 20s mph on a 30 limit road (a large one everyone does 40 on), and pulled right over so they were driving over the cycle lane and in the gutter - all so I'd overtake them and they could nick me Evil or Very Mad . Luckily I saw the black box in the back and noticed the car was 2 up - sure enough when the car turned off I saw the white shirts with black vest over the top.

I don't mind them doing their job by looking out for people driving badly, but trying to tempt/lure people is not on.

As i see it (and if your post isnt exaggerated) , its called entrapment but should you take it to court no one would believe you, not against our golden upstanding members of the public boys in blue, did the car that was following you have a video on board? You could request a copy of the tape if they havent 'lost' it already. Methinks you would be better off accepting you got shafted and taking it on the chin!

i'd have grabbed a handfull of front and then accelerated to the limit, letting them crap themselves (i have used this in traffic but do know there is a risk of them hitting you)

Just playing Devil's Advocate here, but the Highway Code specifically says if someone is being very obvious about wanting to get past you or is tailgaiting, you should pull over and let them pass, so even if the guy was driving like a twat it's still your duty as a 'sensible' road user to ride defensively and let them pass.

At the end of the day, you ARE in the wrong with what you were doing. I know that we all react differently in these situations and know how things can get out of control, but rules is rules.. if you break 'em, you take the risk and it's your fault if you get caught... nobody forced you to try to get away from the car!

Dude, you saw there was a marked car two cars behind, you watched in your mirror as it pulled in behind yourself and the car directly behind you, then you proceeded to remove your helmet and attempt to batter the driver of the car behind you, knowing full well there was a marked car right there, even if you didnt see the panda pull up behind, surely you must have seen it parked there as you charged towards the other car?

The tailgating thing is completly out of order but you're asking for something if you plan on battering a driver with a helmet infront of a marked car! Laughing

put in a complaint, say he was making you scared by following you across all 3 lanes and sitting right up your arse and that you was speeding because you was fearing for you life.

Because he is "going 60, on a totally desolate road,"

You even quoted it yourself Laughing

Pretty crap him tail gateing you, I would have insisted he got investigated for that.

Got to ask why the guys in the Panda charged you? Surely they are not in a position to do so as they were not present during the "incident " of speeding. If you were to be charged then surely it was the one in the unmarked that should have done it?


Anyway, you need one of these, comes with a rear facing camera and records up to 8 hrs, just got one myself but yet to try it out. Would mean its no longer their word against yours Wink

Hard wire for the camera took about 3 mins, has audio as well, the lcd unit charges from the mains and definately small enough to fix under the screen Thumbs Up

I have mounted the camera forward facing just now, but can swop in a few mins, also helmet mount looks easy to fit.
