Gents

Last night some big biffa in a people carrier realised that I was about to move into the gap in front of him, so he moved forward blocking my way, and scraping my car as he did. Judging from his gestures and the fact that he was a biggun, I declined to stop being fear of my life / being eaten.

I did not get his reg but am pretty sure he has mine.

Are the Bill likely to rock up? Should I go to the local Nick and come clean?

Etc

TIA

You probably should report it - if for no other reason than your insurance company could use that you didn't report it to shaft you in the future...assuming thye find out somehow, which the oily-skinned little weasels always seem to do.

Alternatively you could take a sample of his paint to the lab, then track him down and kill him for being an uncurteous cnut!

My advice is to go to the local nick and explain what happened. Take your licence, insurance mot and the car. Explain that you stopped and waited as soon as you found a safe place to stop. That you were concerned at his obvious anger and the way he tried to block you out. Be the reasonable one if you can. If he has reported this as fail to stop accident and it is in Police hands you are playing catch up. Chat to the copper who you are speaking to find some common ground (might be an ex?) remember every little helps.

You can also try stuffing a crisp tenner into his top pocket, with a wink, a nod, and a discreet "Stephen Lawrence case eh? Serve's em right didn't it? You boys keep them bunnies in line, yeah"

Just trying to help, its free advice no obligation to use it.

You could also try telling Plod that as you own a BMW, the big biffa did not realise you actually owned that section of 'the road'
Let Plod know you are willing to forgive 'the uneducated oik' his mistakes.

I only say that because, last month as I was merrily trundling along in my HGV, some BMW driver decided to cut across me, to turn left. Oh how I laughed as I mounted the kerb to avoid a collision.
Are you sure you are totally innocent? Or is your time much too important to be wasted queuing in traffic?

This one is guaranteed to generate red mist in traffic coppers:

"Come on mate, I'm a cabby...one professional driver to another, eh?" - having just overtaken said copper at 45mph in a 30 zone.
