Kind of low priority but perhaps they will track down and talk to mr. rage first and then call you.  I'd give them a few days.


With the plate # I'm pretty sure you can look up who the owner is by doing a lookup at a ServiceOntario kiosk (@$20 UVIP package)

Wouldn't that make you a stalker??   ;)

I think a lot of road-ragers are just out looking for a target for their anger and will find somebody that'll :censor: them off somehow.

BTW, KPD have not called back.  I'm not surprised. :popo: ::)
I had some guy brake test me while I was driving through Queens the other day.  Right in front of the sports arena.  The light had turned green and we were all going through the light and he suddenly jammed his brakes.  I just got around him and he rolled down his window and flipped me the bird while he just sat there in the middle of the intersection blocking traffic and horns blaring.  Then he finally got under way, overtook me and slammed the brakes right in front of someone else while crossing Johnson (?) street.  It was around 1 in the morning so I dunno...

Kingston's got some strange characters. Wonder if it's a local who didn't get into Queen's or somehow thinks anyone driving a car on campus is a rich kid (some are but a lot are just older students who had work a few years before they started university) and wanted to do something about it. Funny how cops are everywhere catching speeders but never anywhere to catch those crazies.

Does not Kingston have 60% of the people working depending of receiving their money from the government directly or indirectly

blur911,
Be patient, the cops usually assign a number of non-emergency cases to one of their guys when they have a quiet day.  They then go through all the cases, one-by-one and eventually they will get to yours.  I doubt it will be ignored.  At the very least, they will contact the offending driver and that will hopefully shake him up.  But at least he will now be in the system.

She called Kingston police to report it around 2pm, so far they apparently don't care enough about this sort of thing to call back.

Well its hard to pull oneself away from the local Timmies...I guess they are addictive.  :rofl:

As for road rage, I have seen instances where the person that initiated the whole event is the one who should be accused of road rage and not the one that stands out as being the "nut".

Having been exposed to different driving cultures, we sure are a very frustrated bunch of people with no need to be.

Some people are just nut jobs!

Instead of waiting for Kingston PD to call you back, try going to the police station with your photo and your story and ask to speak to an officer.  The should be someone on duty who could help you out.

Yes it does, especially after reading the captions in that video by the shithead in the shitbox...

"Oh wait, its a 335i...sweet!" & "Ohhh, ohhh. Yes!"

"I noticed he is driving somewhat briskly...awesome!" & "Lets dance!"

Some drivers like to go out and have a brisk drive without having a shitbox pick up the pace and turning it into a possible race.

It looks like the guy in the Mazda was looking for just that. The Mazda driver should just go and drive his own drive.

it's difficult to say given that there are no indications as to what speed these drivers are driving on this 2 lane road, but if i were the BMW driver :

1. I would not have jumped in in front of the mazda unless i was pretty sure i wouldn't impede his progress.
2. if i did, I would have been reasonably sure i could "dance" thru these paths with mazda at the boundary of speed limit.  i wouldn't go much faster, and if mazda was maintaining his distance, i would have been perfectly happy.   

BUT at least we know the BMW driver was watching his rear view mirror.  there are so many drivers that never pay any attention to the rear view mirrors...

with regards to road rage in general, i try not to be an a*hole.  i don't think i ever "brake check"ed anybody, even though some try awful hard riding my rear when i'm stuck behind someone on highway blocking the left lane.

Yes, if he did'nt like the Mazda following him he could have easily pulled to the side in a safe area and let the Mazda go.

BMW driver = fucktard douchebag.  I think the dude in the Mazda was just too shocked to react other than drive away...

...which is good.  Just leave the douchebag alone.  Confrontations like that can end up bad, and why risk so much over literally nothing?
