Im going to report him to the police for several punishment passes, but I was so pissed at him I forgot what was written on his van :/
Basically, he was coming from Innerleithen along the B709 around 5.30pm today/Thursday.
After the first time, he was stopped further up the road talking to a guy at the biggish farm cottage on the left, so I decided not to say anything knowing he would still have to pass me again latter on after his chat and hoped it was just a one off.
So, I kept looking behind waiting for him to come, he eventually came into sight on the long straight in-between the hills, and thats where he decided to pass me even closer than before and at 60-70mph, so that is why I am desperate to see if people can keep an eye out or even know him!
The second time, if I had drifted max 3-4 inches to the right, he would’ve got me with a wing mirror to he back off the head and I would not be writing this.
The van did stand out a bit in the fact it was Silver, which I thought was very unusual for a Joiners van. I think it was around an ’07 because it had a square’ish front.
The guy was a Joiner and had his name on the back in black in quite big letters, I think (but cant be sure) it was Kenneth “surname” and there was writing on the sides too.
He also had a black dog (collie type) sitting beside him and he didn’t have any mirror/glass on the drivers side wing mirror.
I cant believe I got so angry I forgot everything!
My guess is that he was working at Inners or around that area and was heading home to Edinburgh or anything in-between, told you it was a long shot!
I considered going back to the cottage myself and asking for his details from whomever he was talking, but as its likely a mate, I doubt that would go well. Either that, or I plan my run tomorrow to be on that road and hope he pops up, hmmmm.
I know I am asking for a lot, but if anyone around that area can keep an eye out for him, I would be very very grateful.
