I agree with JBC. Indeed the police may already have had a previous report re that number plate. At least you will know you have done, in my view, the right thing to protect law abiding motorists from a possible scam, and given information about poor driving.

This sort of cold calling is widespread, I often receive such calls. I always invite the caller to give more details but they cannot - it's a fishing exercise on their part to win som business. About time such activity was made illegal, with automatic imprisonment (upon conviction) for both caller and company Director, it would certainly focus some attention.

It does seem that we now have a sizeable population who do not feel they belong to or have any responsibility towards our UK society and wellbeing

I wonder if they ever ponder the Kennedy question - 'ask not what the country can do for you......'

Had a similar call today from what I think was introduced as 'The Accident Centre'. No indication of a Manchester connection though, just some numbers on caller ID so as to bypass 'no anon calls' protocols. Caller was Asian accented but probably in Chennai or Mumbai.

Nothing to do with a sizeable population who do not feel they belong to or have any responsibility towards our UK society and wellbeing. Just people who think they see a business opening for claims factories and do so in cheapest possible way.

It is quite interesting, if you've time on your hands, to engage these calls. I particularly like the ones who try to sound as though they're arms of government, 'The Factories Bureau' and such like, who's inormation teels them I worked in a noisy environment. Fun to waste their time geting them to explain how they got this info...

And for supreme irony there are the cold callers who ring trying to sell you services to stop cold calls.......

It's the same as those ppi calls. A cording to them I am owed £5000 in compensation but I've never had ppi nor am I likely to get it. But as mentioned above one day was bored so went along with the call for nearly a hour until the caller realised I was waisting his time. They haven't rung me since then.

Who said it is not dangerous driving? Police? It looks like a deliberate attempt to get shunted to me.

I bet if you pulled a stunt like that infront of a police car, it would be dangerous driving.

Yes, not always the outcome you expect. I remember a case where a driver of a van fell asleep and crashed into a tractor. The tractor driver/owner was fined for using red diesel and not being within the allowed radius of his farm. The van driver walked away with no prosecution.

Have you thought about listing this cars registration number on one of the badly driven websites?
