Driving to Aldershot yesterday and got cut up some some 16/17/18year old driving a windows/conservatories sales van who decided to go straight on in a left-only lane (marked out on road).
I beep him, he beeped back (why???)
He then went weaved a bit in the road in front of me and then went from a right-only lane across to a left only lane at a roundabout to cut me up (as I was just about to go inside him in the left only lane as I wanted to go left)
I overtook him and me and my passenger gave him the 'thanks for indangering my life and the life of the people in my car with your stupid driving and inability to read road signs you ****' look.
He then went right up my backside, I couldn't see much of his bonnet. I tapped the brake a few times to say 'get off my back', which did F all.
I thought (and my passenger thought) sod this and indicated to pull over and motioned with my hand 'left side' - I wanted a word with him.
He then overtook me narrowly missing my rear bumper and speed off.
What a **** giving hand gestures.
I would report him but the police do jack all about it - there's no money in it for them.
Honestly, do some people really get their licences out of a cracker.
It's people like that who don't care (probably due to drving a company car) about other road users and end up causing accidents.

I live in Aldershot......Name and shame the ******.

Or report hime to his companies director. Lie a bit and tell him that you were planning on having some new windows in your house and after his minions behaviour you will not be using his company.

Demand a written apology from the jumped up tw@t as well.

Take note of the his company's number next time, and phone his manager telling them to expect a call from the local police as you have just reported his driver to them.

Phone the company. Remind them that their git is effectively the public face of their company...

I know someone who was driving like that in a company van. As the number of the company was plastered over the back, the other guy rang the firm asking to speak to the boss. Said van driver had his P45 waiting for him when he got back to the yard...
