They accelerated at me

Just a rant really.

2 lads in their car just accelerated towards me deliberately as I was crossing the road. I looked at them and they were openly laughing at me as they'd scared me. I'm pregnant and might be a bit more reactive than normal but it fucking annoyed me. Why should I have to feel unsafe for their amusement?

Awful. I hope you're feeling better. Were you near any CCTV?

Aquamarine1029 · 28/05/2021 19:19

You should report this to the police.

justalittlerant · 28/05/2021 19:28

@Aquamarine1029 really? Do you think they would care?

Dangerous driving? Absolutely.

I think I would report it if that happened to me, yes. I'm really sorry. What jerks.

DariaMorgendorffer · 28/05/2021 19:42

Report op. Even if just to get it off your chest ... crazy behaviour. Hope you're ok Thanks

This has happened to me before, more than once. I always stop dead, turn, and give them a death stare until they pack it the fuck in.

I refuse to be intimidated.

This happened to me a few years ago in London. I was so shocked at the time that I didn't report it. I hope it never happens again, but I would absolutely report next time.

This is interesting... I never even thought to report it

I guess I can't imagine what the police would do? I don't have a number plate or anything. There might be cctv I guess

Also, I flipped them the bird and that would be funny to see on cctv! Grin

I've had this a few times as well. It amuses the brainless to frighten females.

I'd report too. Nothing to lose.

Sorry this happened to you OP

If you can give a general description of the car, make and colour, and where and when the incident took place, the police can run checks on cameras in the area

justalittlerant · 29/05/2021 07:04

Thanks for your input everyone. I am going to report it.
