:eek I am sure there are a few boys in blue here. perhaps some advice please
Today going around a hairpin bend - known as the devils elbow-with two solid whites the car behind me was straddling the centre lines trying to overtake- didnt expect him at that position so mved over to the left to get out of his way. He overtook the next car going round a blind left.. if any innocent driver had come the other way at that time :eek also on double whites
Followed light traffic for about a mile and saw him at the back of about five vehicles behind a tractor negotiating some blind S bends- he obviosuly got pissed off waiting for the tractor and overtook the lot as he went round another blind bend- again... any innocent coming the other way.......
I was going to pull over and call 112 but didnt know where you get with the non urgent police phone number or whether it works from a mobile.
My idea was maybe as police are about in the sunshine but stay in the station on rainy days there might be one ahead (30 miles stretch of raod with no turnoffs) to maybe pull him over and see if he was drunk, under the influence or just plain stupid
What should you do if you see someone driving dangerously? by the way the other drivers pulled over they all thought he was a lunatic and didnt want to be involved in his next accident?
I have his registration - worth a call now? someone could maybe call by... or is that a waste of police time? no evidence just a rant from me :\
