To have called the 101 police number whilst on motorway today

[BrevilleTron]

Driving back from collecting DD.
DD spotted two vehicles, a truck and a van driving too close to each other and weaving.
She said there was a tow rope between them!

We (safely) slowed down to have a look and sure enough it was just a rope. A small pickup was towing a large transit which clearly had no power assisted brakes and was doing 55-60 in the left lane and weaving dangerously. The vehicles seemed way too close and we were concerned about tow rope ( which I know is iliegal it has to be a metal bar)

So AIBU to have phoned ( hands free) and reported them? DD got the reg plates.

Perfectly reasonable, If you hadn't, and then saw on the news about a motorway pile-up caused by this, you'd have felt terrible.

YANBU. I think that was the right thing to do - make them aware and then they can decide what to do. I did something similar recently, a car towing a caravan had just stopped on the road, no hazards or indicators on but the driver and passenger were on the verge, on a mobile phone. This was on a very busy stretch of a notoriously dangerous road in peak holiday season. I stopped in the next layby and phoned the non emergency number and just said what I'd seen and that if they wanted to go and take a look then that was up to them. I'd rather do that than get home and find out there had been an accident and I'd done nothing.

Err YANBU. Shouldn't have to ask
grrr fucking idiots on the roads I am sick of them.

Idots idiots idiots

yanbu. I once pulled over and rang 999 because an elderly man was sat at the edge of a duel carriage way. He was close ti being hit.

Yanbu I am sick of angry, inconsiderate, rude motorists.
