    Did you get the number plate. I'd be ringing the nearest station with the number plate if I were you.

    I thought of it miles later, but I wasn't going back:eek::D

    In theory both speeding and lane hogging are likely to increase the chances of an accident. So if one is concerned with decreasing the likelihood of an accident, a flash would be warranted in both cases.

    Perhaps, but I don't flash at people in the hopes of decreasing accidents. I don't think there are drivers with no clue going about breaking the rules who, given a quick flash, will think "You know what? That random stranger was right, I should change my driving habits to keep them happy!".

    However, there are sometimes people who aren't paying 100% attention, and a quick flash in the overtaking lane or a little bip of the horn when the lights change can remind them to do what they would normally do.

    Yeah, I agree.

    Sadly, ( and I see this every day ) driving is 3rd or 4th on the list of things they are doing for some people while behind the wheel of a car.
