Impatient Drivers - Nearly Got Hit Today

[Merlin]

Hey guys I was filming today doing the speed limit for once and was so close to getting hit from behind it was crazy! I felt like chasing the bloke, Unfortunately the police don't do much about stuff like that I did get the plate though. What do you guys do when crap like this happens?

Ignore it, if it's real close then watermark the video and make a couple of quid


Chasing down rarely does anything to be honest

Its a pretty common occurrence and cops generally won't bother unless they are there.
It happens to me all the time, as I'm stuck on a 50cc for now, barely being able to follow the speed limit makes people pretty aggressive. And its scary to know that my bike isn't supposed to even go 50kph on public roads with the current regulations.

if I'm riding and someone is riding my ass ill skid the back tire a little and they will back off. if I'm at a light i always sit on the line so no one will sandwich me into another car.

Nothing really. In India, people nearly crashing into you is a daily occurrence. Chasing people down won't really help. If you have any evidence, give it to the police. Report it. He missed you today but he may hit someone tomorrow.

You are now responsible. The power *hands you a shiny golden energy ball* is in your hands. [Angelic AAAAAAAAAH]

Yeah it happens quite a lot around here, that's why you must be fully aware and ready to get away from these assholes fast.

For me, in Singapore, crying to the traffic police is just wasting your breath if there is no traumatic injury or death involved.

Our cops, while unlike the US, and isn't motivated by profit and won't chase and ticket people for no reason, are practically unmotivated by anything else either.

In short, they're lazy as fuck and won't take a case until someone dies and things get blown out of proportion, because they don't want to do the paperwork if they can avoid it.

I've submitted video evidence of handphone driving, road rage and such before, but nothing ever comes out of it anyway.

So I learned that it's better to just not put yourself in a position where this sort of thing will happen in the first place. If you know it's a road where people speed and tailgate a lot, I just stay away from the overtaking lane as far as possible.

Unless you fancy getting into an argument which will most likely accomplish nothing, leave it and upload it!

Getting into an argument and a fight generates more hits though.
