forget abt it .... 1st u need proof , such as video clips of his reckless act . No proof , u think TP will take action ?? These driver very common nowadays , if he didn't hit you , forget and let go. Easy said than done...yeap but it's the best solution. No point start rally race with him etc etc. His life cheap , yours not mah .... especially if you've wife/child etc.
A few years ago I was driving on expressway on sunday morning, very little traffic so I drove on fast lane and enjoyed, suddenly 1 car steered from middle lane and in front of me, I emergency braked, car spinned almost hit the wall, luckily my car got ABS, so I steady the car then chased up the fella, forced him to stop and questioned him, he looked at my car no damage, asked me injury or not, then asked me what I want, I was stuck, really what do I want???
Thats life.

Exactly. That is what really got me so angry. Unless there is damage or injury, there's nothing else you can do, even if you know the other party's name etc.
Must there really be an accident before these blo*dy drivers realise what they are doing is almost criminal?
Is there a way to track and penalise such reckless drivers (with due process etc)? :think:

Write in to TP, stating in "FACTS" the date/time/location of the incident. Be very clear of his actions before/during/after the incident. What did his act cause you to do during/after the incident?
If he overtook recklessly, what do you gauge his speed to be? Was he overtaking you? Were you speeding? Did he cause you to brake violently as a result of his actions? Did his actions cause danger to road-users other than yourself?
Keep your letter clear of emotional langauge and state only facts. They would probably ask you down for a statement at TP HQ and ask you for more details. They may or may not press charges against the other party, depending on how strong and effective your statement is. If they do press charges, be prepared to be presented as a witness in court if he claims trial.
In other words, if you were speeding too, you may wish to avoid going to court, since he may put it to you that you were speeding as well and there's just too much mumbo jumbo involved thereafter.

what you said is not accurate. the intent of the perpetrator together with circumstantial evidence may lead to arrest. eg. the police spot-check a man armed with screw driver, lock breaker, etc while on his way to a shop he intend to break in can be detained and charged, if necessary.
i have personally assisted the police in a case which was somewhat similiar to the circumstances as described above.
