victim of Road Rage, hit and run by a coworker, how should I handle this?

What if buddy had pulled a gun and shot at you instead of backing into you??

The perpetrators drove off, I don't want to get the police involved... I'll send an email!

I will also post your sorry ***** on facebook, twit about it and will CAPS LOCK you to death!!! :D

Here's an idea, create a thread asking for advice, then don't take any of the advice given! *hmmph* !
 
I can already picture the other guys story to HR similar to something like this. "I have repeatedly told this guy he rides to fast, operates his motorcycle dangerously, and is going to hurt himself or worse someone else with his risky driving techniques. By the way I am a volunteer firefighter, and I respond to tons of these motorcycle accidents were the operator's use excessive speed. Well last Friday I was driving home, and was approaching a stop sign, so I proceeded to slow down. As I came to a stop for about 1 second; I looked in my rearview, because I could hear a loud motorcycle approaching fast then his tires were screeching. This D bag motorcyclist slammed into the back of my car. I got out and looked for any damage on my vehicle, there was none. I asked the rider if he was okay, and what he wanted to do about his bike damage. I asked him for his insurance and license, he told me not to worry about it because he didn't want to ruin his driving record or report it to insurance. I asked him if he wanted me to call anyone for him on my cell phone, he refused. So I got back in my car and continued home. By the way Tim from accounting witnessed the incident also".

I wouldn't be surprised if this conversation already happened.
 
Forgot to mention, OP: If your cell phone can do voice recordings, set it up for them any time that you might be interacting with these jokers. Odds are that they'll be saying something to you today.

Stop giving sound advice...OP's not interested in that.
 
Guy #1 is going to be in a RAGE today when the fire Chief calls him in and has him explain the unauthorised use of the green light. They kick VFF's off for that. Or so a VFF just told me....

What I learned from this thread is that OP is a huge p _ _ _ _.

The next thread title is going to read "punched in the mouth by a coworker. How should I handle this?" or "windows of my AWD vehicle center punched at work. How should I handle this?".
 
I was gunna respond... but this is a whole lot of stupid
 
The next thread title is going to read "punched in the mouth by a coworker. How should I handle this?" or "windows of my AWD vehicle center punched at work. How should I handle this?".

Write an email! A sternly worded email, in Times New Roman!

Or, found this in my ***, how to remove?

They always complained that I go to fast or ride like I wanted to kill myself. I just shrugged it off as if they never rode a motorbike before and don't understand you can't ride a motorbike the same way you drive a car or else you'd be involved in an accident.

I disagree; You can ride EXACTLY as you would drive a car, except that you'd 1) have to pay attention to the blocking position, 2) Never ride in/near someone else's blind spot and 3) Make more attempts to be seen by drivers (SMIDSY weave, etc.). You do NOT need to ride fast because you're on a bike.

Sounds likely from the "boxed in -> crash -> took off" recounting of the story. Can't imagine someone putting it in reverse unless the premeditated intention was to cause damage to one or the other vehicles with a witness.

I DO think the story is fishy though... people do that kinda stuff I have no doubt, but not just because you passed them quickly on the way to work. There's gotta be some other pieces of the story we're not hearing about. Still, vehicle as a weapon is a no-no!

I agree... OP, are you a fireman? Why does your co-worker have the flashing green light? and why didn't you get out of his way when he used it (even if you were speeding and even if he was misusing it)?

Your HR department doesn't need to be involved, aside from informing them that you and this co-worker 'got beef'. These incidents happened outside of work, and the verbal 'abuse' was relatively minor.

I disagree. While the incident occurred outside of work, it has elements that took place in the workplace.
 
Unreal, unless your HR department are police officers, they're not going to properly address a criminal matter which is what this was. Report it to the police. If they've done this to you, they will do this to someone else, perhaps seriously injuring someone in the process. Won't it be great if that happens because you didn't want to "bother" reporting it to the police?
