A couple of days ago I was driving (well pulling away from a kerbside parking space in a near empty street, so very slowly). A guy on a motorbike riding in the opposite direction crossed over to my side of the road, coming straight at me, stopped about a metre or so in front of my car, then started taking photos on his phone.
I’d stopped as soon as I’d seen him, then pulled back into the kerb to avoid him – he just drove closer, took more photos, then drove to the window of my car, which I opened about an inch. He started shouting that I’d driven at him, he had photographic evidence and could go to the police – the whole thing was menacing, I don’t know if his intention was to blackmail/demand money? Made no sense.
Once I realised that the whole thing was insane, I closed the window and he rode off. I still feel really shaken whenever I think about it, even though there was no physical violence or definitive threat.
I thought about calling the non-emergency police number, but didn’t have his bike registration so didn’t bother.
Anyone else experienced similar, or have any idea what it might have been about?
