*IMPORTANT: I wish to remain anonymous for this but I needed to make a real profile to post so after reading the post please respect my wish and don't try and hunt me down or anything as I am genuinely worried enough right now*
Ok so I was on my way home today and to be brutally honest I was rushing a bit and I started to overtake another vehicle and initially It was safe to do so until the vehicle I was overtaking sped up despite clearly seeing that I was overtaking.
Now as you can imagine the next thing that happens is that another car comes the other way and I am almost ahead of the car but there is now a long line of cars behind the car I am overtaking so the only thing I can really do in this situation is to try and put my foot down, signal left and get infront asap.
Of course now naturally I assume that the person I am overtaking sees my signal and the car coming the other way, realises the danger and slows down so I can get back in, unfortunately they don't and although thankfully no-one was hurt I did knock the persons car a bit.
I must admit that I have been driving for less than a year so I'm still a bit skittish and end up running instead of stopping in these situations, and although I managed to lose the person I overtook, who in an Isuzu pickup more than likely did more damage to my hatchback than I did to them I'm worried about them reporting me for dangerous driving so my two questions are these.
1) can I be reported to the police or dvla for bad driving on just my number plate or do they need other details?
And
2) if I am reported for bad driving who is in the wrong here me or the Isuzu pickup remembering all the factors that lead to this.
