Registration plate
Official local mnemonic: Essex Postal area: Chelmsford
Issued: between march 2014 and august 2014 Silver Mercedes-benz Sprinter, manufactured in 2014, first registered on 1 June 2014. Cylinder capacity: 2143cc, CO2 emissions: 211 g/km. As of 14 June 2018 this vehicle had done 73,359 miles. Current estimated odometer reading: 182,700 miles.
I was accelerating from traffic lights and had almost passed this van, when the driver accelerated to prevent me from completing my overtaking manoeuvre. The road merges into one lane, with thr usual herringbone markings. I decided - wrongly I admit (in a technical sense) to venture there hoping the driver would give way. In the end I was obliged to decelerate in the interests of road safety.
I would have thought, given my advance position on the highway, that a 'normal' motorist would have allowed me to continue passing.
Instead, I was put in a extremely precarious position, and a serious accident could have resulted.
Therefore, although I wasn't entirely without fault, I consider the actions of the driver of said vehicle to be dangerous driving.
