    Can anyone tell me how I go about bringing charges against totally ignorant drivers on the road. Ive come close to death about three times, and im getting a bit pissed of.
    Is a reg and a witness to the incident enough? Any links or info would be apppreciated

    You can make a complaint by yourself and while it will be your word against the drivers, this is sometimes enough, depending on who is more believable. Having a second witness (other than you) does help. Get the registration number and any other details you can (especially if it is a commercial vehicle).

    I was nearly run over by a guy on the wrong side of the road and while I got dyslexic on the registration number, the Garda was able to track the vehicle by the company name. Then his boss found out .....

    From now on im not even going to get into arguments people that try and run me down. Their reg is going straight to an garda siochana.
