Small point, but being ex-directory doesn't stop the authorities having access to your number....
Hence the knock on the door!

Just waiting for the ironic twist :
"Driving down the motorway in the outside lane when this to**er in his Subaru comes racing up behind, lights ablaze, intimidating behaviour, trying to get past. Sorry, but if he is gonna sit 3" off my bumper, why should I pull over to let the kn*b past"
Just a thought....

A friend phoned the police the other week to complain about a neighbour, and the police obtained his ex-directory number straight away? Surely equally as valid for a traffic incident??
For example, if you phone the police to report something and they take your number, it is recorded on the original incident report.
Should they need to contact you again, for a different matter, then they can check to see if you have come into contact with the polce previously and glean your number by this means.
Most of the time Directory Enquiries is used though.

I remember when the pigs cam around one evening and asked me if I was the registered owner of blah blah etc. I said "Yes". He then said he'd received a complaint about my driving from a neighbour and asked if I'd done it. I spat back at him "No!" walked across to my garage, which I opened to reveal another identical model with a different number plate and told him it was the second car I'd been driving that day. I alo pointed out that furthr down the street there was another identical model, also registered on the same year. Funnily enough when I asked him to prove which car I was in he declined. 
Needless to say as soon as he went, we decided to take both cars out and park across the driveway of the person who complained so they could see there are several cars to choose from

I have had plenty dealings with the police and they generally dont care
AS an example my van was legally tax etc parked in an industial estate near my home and someone phoned a scrappy to take it away luckily i seen it on the truck and stopped them told them to drop the van right now!!
I then drove my van to my house police just happened to be there to do me for no tax on another car (that i could not tax due to dvla rules regarding not having v5 !!!
I say good that saves me phoning you gave them details off what happened name of scrapp yard name of person who phoned them name off company said person worked for etc
result???
£60 fine for not taxing a car i could not tax!

because i had no v5 no v5 no tax good bit of rule changing there
And i will add the car was in a designated parking area
But the point i am trying to make is they could not care less about the theft of my van

Regardless of whether the drivers phone number was obtainable or not, a warning should always be given in person and not over the phone where you cannot confirm who you are speaking to.
Enquiries must be made to ascertain who the owner is, then who was driving, then that person must be interviewed and warned or charged. This cannot be done over the phone.
The police may also want to see your documents, can you do that on the phone?
The car may require to be inspected. Can that be done on the phone?
They are the Police, thats who.
Plonker.

Small point, but being ex-directory doesn't stop the authorities having access to your number....
You were saying Taliz-*****...

Also if the filth, dont have enough back up info to make a charge why waste my money paying a police officer or 2 going around someone's house when the car has obviosly been traced by it reg back to the owner. I agree anti-social behaviour has to be tackled seriously regardless of its form. But the sistuation in question was 6 and two 3's. And was a complete waste of my council tax money. You dont need to be Sherlock Holmes to figure that out. But if my local farse is anything to go by i could understand why they felt the need to look into it futher as i have seen my local police in action as have external inspection teams. And they left a lot to be desired.

I can see how you might think this, but you have to look at it from the other side.
Scenario.
Your wife/girlfriend/whatever comes home from work extremely shaken up cos she has just been the victim of a road rage incident.
Although not physically threatened, she is enormously upset, and badly shaken after a very nasty encounter with an idiot on the road.
She was alone in the car and has no other witnesses.
You report it to the police, and they tell you that due to the lack of corroboration, no charges can be preferred, however, if you wish, they can interview the guy, and warn him sternly in the hope that he calms his behavious down.
Do you
a) accept the offer and let them warn him as you don't want him thinking he has got away scot free. or
b) not bother cos its trivial and you don't want the police wasting their time on "pointless things"?

I hope your not a Police officer, your complete lack of respect for others opinions and need to throw personnel insults around is a bad example of how a human being in a responsible job should behave. It is more suited to a school playground, Tut Tut Tut. Hang your head in shame. Silly little man.
