First time poster. Today I was driving down Punt Road (Melbourne) was back to back traffic around 12 pm. The traffic wasn’t moving so I zoned out a bit. Guy behind me in a Ford Ranger starts beeping. I look in front of me and the space is around 1 meter.
Anyway, two minutes later same thing happened again. No traffic lights missed still in traffic guy in front of me just creeped up a couple of metres. This guy honks again then I see him hop off from his Ranger.
Thinking he was a nutcase I lock my doors. He then pulls up a badge quickly and starts yelling. Get off your phone you f***wit and concentrate on the road. I didn’t even have my phone on me as he looked into my car. I couldn’t really see his badge as he put it away fast enough and hopped back into his vehicle before I got to tell him anything.
I thought that was ridiculous behaviour. I got his number plate. Would it be worth reporting that behaviour?
I also saw him do some dodgy driving (changing lanes right after traffic lights where there are no lines. Cutting people off. he wasn’t in a police car though and had what looked like his wife who was shoving chips down her mouth.
This post from Creesy is spot on. I don't think OP understands that it doesn't matter whether you're right or wrong, it only matters that the cop is not wrong. This is going to end in a fine. You poke the bear, you're gonna get scratched. Worse than that, OP ran back to poke the bear after he was already inside the house. Best of luck OP, but I dare say this may not go the direction you want it to.
