On April 8th, a 64-year-old driver named David Harper lost his cool in a road rage spat and deliberately rammed his company van head on into a delivery driver's vehicle and point in Cheshire last May 15th. It all started over the delivery guy parking outside a closed depot gate while dropping off an Amazon package in the middle of the afternoon. Harper yelled at him to get lost, swore up a storm, even tried yanking open the lock door and banging on the van as the driver pulled away. Minutes later, two miles down the road, CCTV caught Harper swirving across the white line to smash right into the oncoming van before reversing and speeding off. The victim ended up with neck, back, and chest pain that sidelined him for five days, docking his pay and leaving him too terrified to work. He says he's in constant fear now, distrust strangers, and even developed diabetes from the stress. His kids got shaken up too. Cops tracked Harper down using the van s license plate. He gave a wild different story at first,
but admitted dangerous driving, threats, and ditching. The scene. No breath test, but the judge called it disgraceful. He got a 12-month jail term suspended for 18 months, plus 200 hours unpaid work, a 1,000-pound payout to the victim, one. 150 pounds in costs, and an 18-month driving van road rage like that ain't worth the fallout.
