Even without the benefit of a dashcam, you can still make a mental note of the stalker’s appearance, as well as that of the vehicle. Are they old or young? Male or female? Bearded or clean-shaven? You’d be amazed at how many witnesses can’t recall even these basics because their mind is working overtime, fuelled by a mind-numbing combination of fear and adrenaline. By running through a mental checklist you will notice and remember far more than you otherwise would. When it is safe to do so, pull over and make copious notes; the police refer to these as ‘contemporaneous notes’ and they are good evidence in the event that they find and prosecute your stalker. Of course, if you’ve got a passenger in the car with you then the job of taking notes is made even easier.
