Dickhead driver

Decided it would be funny to tailgate me at a distance of about half a metre, while driving at 60ish.

And then decided to overtake me on the left, in the same lane...only to be turning right at the next intersection...and having to stop in the turning bay.

I just tried to stay well away from him at that point

So if you see a maroon coloured holden, plate 8AFORD, expect the worst.

Pricks more like it.

I know how you feel.Good you ok though

**sunhuntin** · 22nd December 2007, 16:08

o yeh... gotta love it. tail gate, go flying past and then turn off at the next corner. fucktards.

Hearing this makes me so angry. If anyone sees this car stick an old set of handlebars through the windscreen. He'll figure it out.

Meh.

I hope you wished him Merry Christmas.

About all you can do is try and avoid the bastards(sorry

). If you do react half of them have no idea what they have done wrong and the other half are as likely to have a go.

You have his plate,a good disription of when and where it happened, go lay a complaint againt the driver. You should do this before another rider gets taken out by this moron.
It is no matter that your complaint is laid hours, or a day after the offence.
You dont know, this may be the final thing the Police need to shut this turkey down.
Good luck

Had similar the other day in my car going to Matamata. HP car on other side of road, obviously trying to get his quota. Flash my lights at him and point at the arsehole 1/2 a meter behind me. Copper didn't do fuck all.

Plenty of space for him to U-turn too.

Yeah, outside Pak n Save in Mt Albert on thursday (when it was pissing down) I took off when the light went green, checked the car behind me to the right (cause I was between lanes at the front) and when I looked up there's a car running the red to turn right in front of me.
The cop car in the lane next to him did SFA.

My attempts at savage honking were hampered somwhat by the fact I was thumbing the indicator button instead...

Guys, that's what your spare helmet is for. Full reach will take off a door mirror or crack a a windscreen. Easier withgout gloves though

Good.

Note that it is a black hole process, you'll get a confirmation email back and that is it. You wont hear anything back about what they do with it after that.

I do have one of those visualisations about a shreadder on the other side of the compalint process.

Has anyone ever had a letter or anything from it? I sort of recall reading one of the Kiwi Rider editorals about it, but that was it.

i got a letter after reporting a taxi driver who attempted to get inside mums side of the car one day.
i wouldnt have bothered, but our complaints to the taxi company were met with "hes not one of ours!" despite there only being 2 companies in town... one blue, one green. wankers. we didnt even get an apology out of them.
