Why would anyone with any good sense try to "confront" a moron driver?
I've seen many of these events in my time while driving and even had a few *hand gestures pointed my way ?because I have followed the highway code. My licence is full (was with HGV 1 ) has been clean accept for one even when it was fresh so I believe I am a good courteous driver.
If a "road rage" idiot stopped in front of me and got out etc I would just lock the doors and call 999. that in itself would be sufficient to end the issue, Any damage that person causes to your vehicle is then down to the police to take charge of as the registration number of the other car can be recorded or remembered.
I drive at work and during one occasion I had an energy drink can thrown at the windshield while a Harvey Smith display and large amounts of spitting followed.
All because the truck I was driving which was towing a transporter trailer is slow! OH as it is classed as agricultural it is limited to 45MPH anyway but the country lane being twisty and narrow in places meant the vehicles behind had to follow at the same speed until almost the end when the road widened enough to overtake. once the driver got passed put his brakes on so I had to "slow even more" causing the line behind me even more frustration, and the other driver who was passing me a serious fright. Unfortunately my work truck does not have a dash cam but the reg and incident was mentioned to the local constabulary, I think this world has lost a lot in the way of cultivated persons.
Just my look on things !

Warning issued to motorists not to film collision scenes

Suffolk Police is warning drivers about the consequences of filming collision scenes, as several motorists were caught offending during an incident in August.
Following a serious road traffic collision on the A14 - which resulted in the closure of one of the carriageways for several hours - seven motorists driving on the opposite carriageway were caught filming the collision scene as they drove past, four of whom were HGV drivers.
Their details were recorded by officers at the scene and they have all been issued with Traffic Offence Reports for driving without due care and attention.
It is illegal to use a handheld mobile phone whilst driving - or riding a motorcycle - and you must stay in control of your vehicle at all times. Police officers can stop you if they think you are not in control because you are distracted.
Motorists can be prosecuted if they are caught offending and the law still applies if you are:
- stopped at traffic lights
- queuing in traffic
- supervising a learner driver
The basic penalty for driving whilst using a mobile phone is a £200 fine and six points on your licence. Anyone who has passed their driving test in the last two years would lose their licence as a consequence of this.
Alternatively, you might be taken to court which could result in a driving ban and a maximum fine of £1,000 (or £2,500 if you are driving a lorry or bus).
Sergeant Barry Abbott, of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU), said: "People in control of a vehicle who film collisions scenes are not only breaking the law, but are also being highly insensitive.
"I know we live in a world where some people want to film everything and post it on social media, but drivers should take a moment to think about the individuals involved in that collision, along with their family and friends.
"Ultimately though, they are committing an offence and if caught will be prosecuted, as this recent example shows. It doesn’t matter if you are stuck in slow-moving or stationary traffic, it is still illegal to use your phone whilst behind the wheel - or handlebars if using a motorcycle.
"It is an extremely dangerous act that often results in other collisions. In fact, my Inspector in the SCIU was forced to close the opposite carriageway on the A12 a couple of years ago when attending a serious collision there, as this is exactly what happened.
"If you speak to anyone who has attended the scene of a serious collision – which is something my colleagues & I have had to do on too many occasions – then they will tell you that they are usually a distressing place to be and certainly not something that should be filmed by members of the public.
"It is extremely disappointing that four of the seven people caught in this instance were lorry drivers, as they are professional motorists and should know better. All the drivers involved will now face a financial penalty and could lose their licence depending on how many points they already have, or if they are a new driver.”
Tim Passmore, Police and Crime Commissioner for Suffolk, said: "I absolutely urge all drivers to pay heed to this important message. Using your phone behind the wheel is illegal and using it to film a collision scene is not only highly dangerous, but massively insensitive.
"I am very pleased to see the Constabulary stamping down on this completely irresponsible behaviour and hope it serves as a reminder to all drivers to keep their phones out of reach when they are behind the wheel.”
