Earlier this evening I was following a vehicle, a flatbed truck with open back, there was a ladder on the back and nothing else.
After a few minutes I noticed something was up, it was driving very slowly, less than 20mph and veering onto other side of road on bends on a windy stretch of road. The. On a longer straight it speeded up, we came to a section of road that has temporary roadworks, with temporary traffic lights, however this has all been put to the side of the road for the weekend and the road is operating normally but this driver stopped when a car came towards us, came to halt as though the traffic lights were still there?!
At that point I thought the the driver must have been drunk, ill or didn't have required glasses on so I photographed the vehicle with my phone, (I was sat behind it because he had stopped for the imaginary traffic lights).
I was now thinking I should call the police but I am using a courtesy car so no car kit, no pen in car to make notes etc so I decide I will call police when home, the car turns off into a private road. This road only has very exclusive houses, I imagine the cheapest must be about £5M but it's private rather than a public highway so I don't follow. I wonder if the driver spotted me taking the photo?
Anyhow I was delayed getting home, it was now 1.5 hours ago, what should I do? I can't imagine the police being interested now that so much time has passed? I am tempted to call the number advertised on van (withholding my number) and telling them that I have witnessed their erratic driving, have evidence and have given the police their reg number so they are being monitored. Should I? The police wouldn't be arsed doing this would they?
