to consider calling a company for their driver's atrocious driving?

[AugustaProdworthy]

Has anyone ever done this? Is it worth it?
I've just been flashed at, bibbed at, tailgated and then I suspect I was sworn at ( but I didn't look up as he gawped out of his window as he undertook me on the dual carriageway)
I honestly didn't do anything more than pull out to overtake, safely and with consideration.
I don't know why it is bothering me but is it actually worth calling the company to tell them about their driver?
( I suspect it's not but wondered if anyone has ever done this and not been laughed at)

Lidl in England are selling a dashcam tomorrow as one of their specials

THANKYOU

DH will be pleased. Lidl is his Spiritual Home

I spend far too much time online checking Aldi and Lidl specials. DS pleaded with me for white polo shirts for school this week. I had already got blue ones for September months ago, but given the prices in Aldi I relented.

I'm a big believer in emailing companies about this kind of thing. Their drivers are their representatives on the road. I also email companies when I've experienced very good service too, so I'm not just a moaner!

once reported Eddie stobart Lorry that did u turn on busy 4 way traffic light junction that has ambulances and police cars speeding through all the time as it is near the hospital. It is such a dangerous junction - the only reason he didn't cause a pile up was the other drivers realised in disbelief what he was doing and took evasive action (ie moved into bus lanes etc) I got an email back - they seemed interested and apologised for his driving

I've reported a white van driver.
The driver had to phone me from the office and apologise.

It was great.

OP, is there any tiny possibility that you may have even been the tiniest bit at fault?

Professional drivers experience a lot of traffic. Some of them are useless.

But then again so are an awful lot of 'casual' drivers.

There is absolutely no excuse for Road Rage, but I do believe some drivers need to acknowledge their own mistakes... Including me!

DH bought a couple, one for mine, one for his. Not sure of exact model but will ask when he gets home.

I think it might be this one....

I know it has a mini sd card in and its sighted behind my rear view mirror so I can't even see it on the screen. The only reason I know its there is the happy little tune it plays when I start the car.

Apologies, spoken to DH and its this one...

It looks similar but has better features including GPS apparently.

Thanks Sisters

I used to manage a retail business and we had a delivery van. I received a call from a member of the public complaining about a colleague's driving. I took it seriously, apologised to the woman who rang and had a chat with my colleague. Unfortunately without camera footage you cannot be sure who was in the wrong, or indeed if anyone was in the wrong, but as a responsible employer you have to deal with it I believe.

My colleague knew she had upset another motorist and I had to remind her to always be courteous and ensure she was driving and manoeuvring safely - when the company name is all over the van you cannot afford to upset people, quite apart from being a responsible road user as a driver anyway.

Thanks for the reminder, I've just left a rotten review on google plus for the haulage company whose driver was tailgating a lorry in front of him and nearly caused me to crash as I was trying to join the motorway from the slip road.

Thanks for your replies. I calmed down and decided not to call because although he was pretty rude it wasn't as bad as the examples some of you have described.
I probably didn't explain very clearly; I was pulling out to the outside lane in front of him but I checked twice and there was loads of room. The outside lane was very busy and going about 60 as everyone was staying in that lane to overtake ( eventually) a very slow lorry up ahead. That's why I had a little gap beside me for him to undertake me. I know it's not best to stick in the outside lane to do this so I accept I wasn't driving ' perfectly'.
It was the aggression that bothered me.
I'm over it.
I appreciated your posts and I'm intrigued by the dash cam......

Reported nhs van of all things last week. Managed to overtake us on a bend on a hill on a tiny little road in dartmoor. So close to crashing into a banger coming the other way, would have done if we hadn't breaked.
