I've just been intentionally rammed off the road by a farmer in his Nissan Navara.
I was going down the road on the way back to work, came round a bend (within the speed limit) and there was a Nissan Navara coming straight towards me in the middle of the road. I slammed the brakes on and had to mount the grass verge to avoid hitting him.
Since there was no damage and I had to get back to work, I continued (rather pissed off) only to find there was a giant yellow farm vehicle taking up both lanes coming towards me so I was forced to reverse 200m back past the Navara (only to say "Do that again you f*cking c*nt" at which point the farmer (who is a LOT bigger than me) told me to get out the car and he'll sort it out then and there. I continued to reverse and pulled completely off the road.
He then swerved straight into me as he came past while I was parked up, taking out the front end of my EP82, then carried on his way. After a few seconds of shock, I followed him to get his numberplate while ringing the police. I got ahead of him to attempt to get him to stop but he just went straight past half on the grass. I then got ahead of him again. After a couple of minutes I saw a police car and flagged it down, told him the truck behind had just rammed me and then he let the Navara continue on his way.
The officer said he knows the owner who is a local farmer and he will go and speak to him later. He then ran MOT/insurance/Tax checks on my car. Once he'd finished being useless he said he'd let me know what happens and he left.
What can I do? The farmer in the Navara and the one in the giant yellow farm thing are going to make something up together and the police are going to do f*ck all as per normal. I haven't told the insurance yet and I have a banging headache and my neck is starting to hurt.
I need help with what I can do - he has smashed up my car with his 2 tonne tank which probably has a tiny scratch on it and the police WILL let him get away with it because it would actually require them to do some work!
PLEASE HELP!
***I will post up pics of the damage when I get home from work.
