You cannot blame yourself for someone else’s choice. Given the choice, this person will probably do this again and again. With or without a warning from the police.

That and a reckless driving charge is about all that would result.

You’ve called the police. That was the right thing to do. Now let go.

One of these days that person is likely to get out of control with the wrong person.

That’s what I’m afraid of. I don’t want to be the one to say, “I should’ve…”, that’s all.

Police operators typically wave off this type of thing. I wouldn’t worry about it then. The person in the BMW was probably shaken and went home/work/wherever and took a deep breathe, called a friend and moved on.

I have my reasons for saying to call. But right. One of these days that person is likely to get out of control with the wrong person.

@Michelle: Thanks for the tip! I just called the police, and they said nobody reported it. Not sure what else to do, because the police operator didn’t ask me for a description.

Stinks. Next time, I suppose I’ll just call right away, without or without license plate number, right? Right.

My $0.02.

I would call the police at this point because there is some chance the driver of the BMW has called and needs witnesses.

You’d be amazed at how easy it is for the police to track someone down. They don’t always need a plate number in order to do so.

Action is what unites people in times full of hate, ignorance only lets someone get away with their actions and move on to the next outburst which could cause someone serious harm.
