I had one guy try and run me off the road when I was an instructor, thankfully I was driving and not a student.
he overtook me in a 40mph zone....and tried to push me into verge while doing it.
Then pulled in front and did an Estop.
He got out and starting ranting at me for only doing 40mph.
I told him it was a 40. He argued and swore, I just kept quiet and pointed at the speed signs about 10yds away. He was getting edgy so I told him I was dialling 999.
He gor back in his car. I reported him and the police issued him with one of those 'do it again and we seize your car' thingys.
Was quite fun as an instructor tbh despite the obvious annoyances, I was seen as a professional witness, so if I witnessed really bad driving, chav doing 50+ passed a school at 3pm for instance, I could inform police and they would follow it up.
