Bloke was a drama queen, rest of us haven't got the time or the inclination to go following people who we think have slighted us on the road and getting into confrontations, and the trouble with confronting people is you don't know if the person you are about to fits into the first part of the next sentence.

I wouldn't give it another thought, if the old bill have the time between almost daily knifings and shootings and monitoring wrong think on multiple genders to ponce about with this non event i would be very surprised.

Start forgetting it now, NUFC. Gordonbennet summed up perfectly - it's most unlikely there'll be any follow-up. We've all made a driving blunder once in a while, mostly without consequences and always learning from it. NUFC eh, plenty to worry about there. ;-)

I would be not so bold as to take the advice to forget it for several things can come into play.

1. Complainant may be bluffing and made no report to police. If so NFA

2. Complaint made to police. Despite lack of resources and more pressing matters they are duty bound to examine complaint. If for lack of good evidence i.e. camera, independent witnesses they may nip the investigation in the bud in which case NFA

3. If they are of the opinion further investigation needed i.e statement from complainant, camera evidence etc and interview of offending driver to get his account.

But first within 15 days of the incident send notice of intended prosecution to registered owner of offending driven vehicle (or driver if his details know.) This does not mean prosecution will follow but a requirement of law to let the driver be aware of a possible prosecution ahead. Failure to do so bars any proceedings.

To establish the details of the driver Police will accompany the NOIP with a request for Reg Keeper to name driver at date and time of incident. Offence not to do so and return with 28 days otherwise prosecution for not doing so.

Armed with drivers details interview offender.

File then prepared outlining possible driving offences – dangerous or due care etc and submitted to Crown Prosecution Service who will decide whether to institute proceedings at Court.

So as will be seen - in the lap of the Gods as to how far it will go.

Just a slight correction. It must be sent so as to arrive within 14 days of the alleged offence (sending it within 15 days - with the probability that it may not arrive until day 17 - will not do). And it must be sent to the Registered Keeper (there is no such thing as the Registered Owner).
