Had my first proper Road Rage Incident today, after years of cycling in London, whole out west in Crossrail territory where my mates lives
We turned left off a main road into a side road, pickup driver behind decides we didn't indicate (even though he's also turning left) so shouts abuse as he slowly overtakes and gives the finger through the back window
I WAVE back
Sigh. He slams on the brakes and comes to a stop and starts getting out and. Foolishly I go past him as he shouts abuse. He jumps back in and huts the gas. I stop in a nearby driveway, hoping he goes past as it's a country road and I didn't want him overtaking me. He floors it to come after me.
He skids to a stop about a foot behind me and starts jumping out so I pull a u turn and cycle back the other way, while his son shouts "Get back in the car dad"
Anyway he then drives away. I have all of this on front camera so I'm wondering how to handle it
-
Do I just submit the camera footage to the Dashcam portal with description etc and let TVP deal with it how they see fit. Or call them up and ask for it to be classified as an assault (even though he didn't physically touch me) so he doesn't just get a warning letter for a traffic incident and it's handled more seriously
-
Has anyone dealt with TVP before? I've only used the Met who are pretty good
Think I'll stick to central London roads after this haha
A schoolboy has been killed in a stabbing in a field as police and emergency services surround the scene.
Police believe the youngster was attacked by two or three males, who fled the scene in Emmer Green, near Reading, Berks, after the stabbing.
Murder squad detectives from the Thames Valley Police Major Crime Team were drafted in after the knife attack which happened shortly after dusk today.
A massive police cordon was thrown up around Gravel Hill Road, Emmer Green, which backs onto a popular golf course.
Senior detectives, forensic science officers and uniformed police were called in after the alarm was raised to the stabbing.
A Thames Valley Police spokesman said: "Thames Valley Police has this evening launched a murder investigation following the death of a 13-year-old boy in Emmer Green, Reading.
Hi all, thought I'd share a really positive experience.
I've recently self referred to talking therapies for anxiety. It's not a massive problem but it does can make me frustrated and short tempered at times. As is required I emailed my firearms officer about it and explained the situation.
Their response was brilliant, said as I'd had a depressive episode in the past and had also sought out help then I was clearly in tough with my mental health and that was all they wanted from firearms owners.
The also noted that as my wife also has a SGC if there were any concerns she could just take control of the access.
They are always great to deal with and very reasonable.
