Road rage in France with a flashing laser aimed at us

The security light didn't even make him blink.

Because he knows every copper within twenty miles, is busy taking a report about someone using a nasty word.

Reading this thread is like an episode of "Police Interceptors" on C5

A few days ago, straight off the tunnel, we were cut up, brake tested and had green laser lights aimed at us by some French yobs. The laser was directed to their rear view mirrors so it was aimed straight at us. What scared me was that there was a huge truck right behind us when they brake tested us. I assume the truck driver was aware what was going to happen so was prepared. I assume it was because I had just overtaken a row of trucks who were close together, and so held them yobs up. I was travelling at just under the speed limit on the motorway. The fact that their car was fitted out to intimidate with these lights showed it was premeditated bullying. Unfortunately my dashcam was not working so I have no evidence of it. If I had I would have sent it to the police. Take care out there!!

We had a similar incident in August while driving near Metz. No lasers but the French neds we’re deliberately braking and driving slowly then speeding in front of our MH. I didn’t take the bait and just backed until the French rats got bored.

He slowed down to a crawl and at one point seemed to be about to stop in the carriageway.

That is the sort I have no trouble tipping off to ensure we can continue the conversation without him shooting off. If he wants the damage repaired ,as i always say " sue me".

We were alarmed at the arrogance of the bloke, in that he felt that he had a right to filter,

They banned 'flitering' earlier in the year.Whether it was just down in the south west ,Bordeaux, area or all over i'm not sure?

and that we should have let him.

Just a dickhead.

**& looking back at your photo it isn't "filtering". it is overtaking & either are illegal as there is a solid white line on your left adjacent to the centre division. The same the other side.

Same with us, we have 1/2 dozen of them. Don’t leave without a camera Trouble is we have had to hard wire them and remove the cameras every time we park up to avoid them getting stolen. Even outside the house ! This was a neighbouring street, an hour after he had stolen ours .

One of the drawbacks of some cameras is that they don't change to colour images, even when security lights come on and the B&W images don't provide details about the colour of clothing worn. I got very clear footage from an event last year but when the police issued a description to find the culprit, they were working on the basis of a different colour of trousers and jacket compared to what I think I found from someone else's cameras. My IR camera suggested the person was wearing light grey or light blue trousers. The other camera (in colour) had someone at the right time and place looking very similar but wearing black trousers. I've replaced my ir cameras with colour cameras.
