If illegal behaviour like this guy's was challenged more frequently then maybe we'd have fewer than 5 dead people a day on UK roads.
This kind of low level law breaking - speeding, mobile phone use, sat nav fiddling etc etc is pretty much the social norm and considered acceptable behaviour. Despite the dead people.
Drink driving and smoking have been tackled in part because they became socially unacceptable. Pretty much everyone cares about what other people think of them, so I'm with those like the OP who challenge such irresponsible driving. If we all did it, maybe there'd be fewer dead people and maybe our world would be a little more pleasant, and driving and cycling would be that bit more enjoyable...
I was following some d1ck on a brompton in London in the week and he would go up onto the pavement at the slightest provocation to avoid some lorry parked at the kerb.
I'd do the same. Minus the Brompton though...
a few occasions when i have told drivers to get off the phone, never polite, never quiet, and always in the middle of town.
Most drivers are scum.
see plenty of drivers jump red lights, as for obeying speed limits or parking restrictions!!!
If i could report every driver i see driving dangerously or breaking the law to the police i would, i just tend to report one or two a week.
Numbers game, screw the police statistics and maybe they will actually do something about driving offences.
Smashed his face in,then shot him,then burnt his car out but I do reside in the 'Pool.
Really I would have ignored it. I see such appalling driving whilst riding and driving it amazes me but as stated he's a moron and would never see your point. Only winding yourself up I fear.

USing a phone in the car isn't a "mistake". It's being an arrogant dick, so you'd always get the arrogant dick response.
