If you have the reg number and the person has damaged your car or something why not report them if it warrants it, rather than take revenge and get yourself in more trouble.

in the past ive went into a local police station and explained i was looking at buying a car but i thought the seller was a bit dodgy. ask the police on the desk if they could check the details. give the reg, make up a name and address and see if they correct you with the real details.... its worked for me.

Not strictly true, the PNC isn't an open system lol!

Every query is logged and the genuine reason for doing so has to be entered.

Do you know Matt how many times I have to stop my other half filling someone in each day because of road wars!!!

Violence is not ALWAYS the answer.....although yeah it does sometimes make you feel better

In answer to your question, i've asked this before and the short answer is "Not easily - No"

Always someone willing to go one step further though.

I do a lot of miles and had a few brushes with cocks that give it the big one until you're alongside, suddenly they've got tunnel vision. I even had some Cnut on a single lane slip road go two wheels off road overtaking me (I was as accelerating fast as my van would go) and as he got infront gave me a wanker sign. I mean wtf is that about, he rrives like a cock and gives me shit for it. My transit had never gone so fast after that. Managed to get alongside the prick and box him in, was trying to have a chat but it was almost like I was suddenly invisible.

Let it go! Road rage is pointless, there will be another idiot along soon to replace the last one, if you batter everyone who pisses you off/drives like a cock, you will have a higher body count than Rambo

I drive 90 miles a day in solid motorway traffic for most of it, I don't think I have had a trip yet without watching some utterly mental driving!

im just back from cambodia where there seems to be no rules on the roads, people drive in any direction they want on any side of the road that suits, pull out in front of you , swerve in to cut you up and weave about to suit themselves and i didnt see 1 road rage incident or crash.

You can fill in a form and send a few quid to the DVLA to ask for the details as long as you have valid reason.

Which cant really require too much when the DVLA sell everyones details to cunts to send you spoof illegal parking notices etc !

Write to DVLA and just say the car has been parked on your property and you want to post them a nice letter asking them to remove it.

as a private individual you need a legitimate reason for DVLA to disclose.

as a company they will pretty much sell you the info even if your motives are immoral and dodgy as fuck

its the same in brazil, there all nuts, but not even a horn.
its funny i was quite chilled out there driving with a load of loons, but as soon as im in the uk everyone just pisses me off,
i think its because we have rules here, so you expect people to follow them,
like people that sit in fast lane holding everyone up,when theres 2 empty lanes. forcing people to under take.
boils my piss!!!!!
