k222bye Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 This incident occurred a few days ago.. Was heading southbound on the m6 and just getting into Birmingham going towards city centre to my hotel. Weather was horrid and it was around 11pm, and this van driver cuts me off within an inch of my life literally just yards before the road forked. I was wary of him before so I was keeping an eye out but he literally barged in and braked in front of me. So obviously i had to do an emergency brake and the van driver then just drove off. I was absolutely fuming. I have a dash cam in the car, front and back. I saved the video clip, git to my hotel and saved it to the laptop. In the morning i got the number of the company he worked for from the clip and rang them up, long story short i got in touch with his boss and emailed him the video clip of the van driver. Was today i was contacted to let me know the driver has been dismissed. I felt bad at first but then just remember the mugs smug face grinning at me. Just annoys me so badly that no matter how careful you are someone else will nearly kill you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_bandido Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I hope more people do this. Being a weapons grade bell end when you've got company branding all over your vehicle should result in dismissal. Don't feel bad, he made the decision for you.
