Good afternoon, I am looking for a little advice.
Whilst out with a friend this afternoon, (he was driving) we were pulling up to a roadside parking space when a motorist behind took exception to the fact that we were holding him up for one second whilst parking. He blared his horn at us and waved his arms around. In response I gave him the w**ker sign as I felt there was not need to bully someone who had indicated and given more than enough notice he was pulling up.
I collected my wallet and got out of the car to go to the shop (the reason we had pulled up) and noticed that this guy had pulled over further down the street.
He approached me in a hostile way and pushed me onto the bonnet of my friend's car and started shouting and pushing me further. I did not retaliate and told him to get away.
He grabbed my by the neck so hard that my wallet flew into the air. I managed to push him away and told him that there was CCTV recording him down the street. He was fuming because we had held him up. He then went to attack me again, at this point I told him I would be calling the police and a bystander pushed him away from me. He then promptly got back in his car and drove away.
I managed to get the registration & a picture of him and have my friend as a witness.
Though I may have aggravated him by doing the sign I did, I feel it is totally unacceptable behaviour and I would greatly appreciate it if forum users could give me their views on weather or not I should report this fuming and dangerous driver to the police.
