Early this morning I was on tractor with OH when a little silver VX220 came flying past at the speed of light- about 100 odd mph on a 60mph country road. I remember seeing him because I actually commented to OH what a complete d*ckhead he was and how he would cause an accident driving like that.
Fast forward 3hours and I had taken Oshkeypops on a hack. The same car came flying past- it was on a straight in the road and so he would have seen me 400-500yards from overtaking. he flew past me at some ungodly speed, Oshk's legs went underneath his back end as he skirted forwards and launched into the air. I simply put one arm up in some exaggerated shrug as if to say "WHY".
He obviously saw me because he turned around, sped up the other way and stopped on the opposite side of the road from me. he got out of his car, Oshk still doing the hot coals dance, and said "You got a f*cking problem or something, Love?"
to which I replied "Yes I have, I think you were driving far too fast and could have caused an accident if I had fallen off of my horse."
to which he then replied "Oh f*ck off you silly little bitch, who do you think you are to talk to me like that, you lot are all the same, why don't you f*ck off ?"
So I said "Well I hope when you do cause an accident you harm no one but yourself, it would be a shame for innocent people to be killed by your ignorance"
he then walked up to me, grabbed Oshk's rein, to which he skirted sideways and smacked his fetlock on the curb, and said "Listen you little f*cking bitch, next time I see you I'll try my best to knock you off that f*cking nag, you jumped up little tart, I will drive how the f*ck I like, and I don't care what you say."
I waited until he had let go of my horse, turned him about and trotted the 100 or so yards up the road to the gates of one of our fields at the far side of the farm. I wasn't meant to ride through it as it was all wheat with small margin, but I felt really shaken up and was quite scared the man would actually drive at me, my hands and legs were so wibbly.
I feel like I'm in the wrong for challenging his speed in some way, as I provoked him with the shrugging my shoulders and making a point of it- but then again that is NOT a safe speed to drive on such a road- especially not as his car is really low to the ground- if he had been in a dip in the road, a tractor could have pulled out, not seeing him, and at that speed he would have been a complete write off.
I have his registration number and was wondering whether I could report him for A) Driving too fast or B) for threatening me. Not sure whether it was technically threatening, but it wasn't nice
