Dangerous driver

I live in a town with a lot of dangerous driving and it riles me
A couple of months ago I saw 2 very dangerous manoeuvres by an Audi drivers and the second was a sort of bullying.
I driver for my job and found out where he lives.
I think it's a man in 20s/30s.

He comes from a community which respects elders but can be stupid. Should I knock on the door to speak to the dad privately or should I leave it

Aibu to go up there and have a discreet word?

Sounds you live in my town OP. Does it have a motorway right through middle? There is a huge problem with young males in high performance cars tearing around town at terrifying speeds and their have been numerous fatalies over the years, of both innocent people and of the drivers and/or their passengers. The police know who they are but don't want to " upset the community "

Not going to mention what community you think is stupid?

Ok yes that is what I mean ...but actually I am a very similar ethnicity. Nothing to do with dog whistle although I have my prejudices against everyone of all colours 😜

The kids of that community-a minority not the majority - respect their elders but the adults stick their head in the sand about what the kids do.

Again, what community are you talking about? And being a "similar" ethnicity means nothing. Yes, you do seem to have a lot of prejudices.

This is a weird thread.

I'm a very careful driver. Tempted to buy an Audi to see if it turns me into a knob. 😜 Do knobs drive Audis or do Audis turn careful people into aggressive drivers?

Both. Whenever we see a bad driver, it is usually an Audi.
