I was on the M4 on Saturday at noon and I heard a bang, checked my mirrors, and a large orange panel van that had been tailgating me had overtaken and hit my rear with its front bumper. Fortunately no damage to the metal work, but nice orange scratches on the bumper. I got its registration. Do I have any chance of any retribution given no witnesses? I assume not, but you never know.
I must admit that most drivers are okay, but you do get some idiots. There was not a lot I could do to avoid him even though I drive defensively. The recommendation with tailgaters is increase distance between you and the car in front.
