There are articles in the print and online press regarding bullying allegations made. I do hope that none of you suffer any bullying on the road – though it’s probably inevitable as we see a decline in manners, road rage and more cars on the road generally.
David Williams MBE, Chief Executive of GEM (formerly The Guild of Experienced Motorists) and Trustee of the National Campaign for Courtesy said, “Any form of bullying or discourteous behaviour within the work place is likely to cause anguish and distress and needs to be condemned unconditionally. However, we believe bullying on the road is far more serious and can lead to expensive damage, personal injury or even death”.
“Driving in an aggressive manner by tailgating the vehicle in front cutting in sharply to gain a few extra yards or failing to give way at a roundabout or junction etc is simply on-road bullying”, said David.
GEM has produced a free information leaflet regarding conflict on the road and is happy to provide copies free of charge to those calling 01342 825676 or e-mailing [email protected]. The Courtesy on the Road leaflet can also be downloaded by visiting www.motoringassist.com.

Tailgating is far more dangerous than speeding and yet the government does nothing about.
