Was following a white van along some country lanes. The driver was clearly lost as he was slowing down at random times and looking down lanes / at houses etc. So we came to a stright bit of road and I pulled out to overtake. It is a narrow road but plenty of room for both of us side by side. As I got along side the van it gently swerved to the right and squeezed me until my driver side wheels were on the grass verge. At this point I sounded my horn in case he hadn't seen me. Van moved to the left and I overtook - job done....or so I thought.
Around the next corner was a tractor blocking the road so we all braked to a stop. Van driver and his mate got out and walked towards my car (which had my 4 yr old son in the back). I opened my door to see what he wanted at which point he thrust a knife in my face (not enough to make contact but you know what I mean). We had a 'chat' about my overtake
and then he walked back to his van but I noticed in my wing mirror he held the blade very close to the side of my car as he walked along side it. I got out the car to investigate the paintwork and confront him about whether he had actually damaged the paintwork. He put the knife in my face region again and told me to walk away. As there was two of them and I had my son with me, I did just that (I also couldn't see any paint scratched). Glad I did walk away now, but I'm still seething about the whole thing.
The van had no signwriting on it and in all the hullabulloo I didn't get his reg number.
