UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

me & the other half and his mate, were at this burger van at the side of a road near a rather large elongated roundabout, when this absolute knobber in a Nissan SX (i think) starts drifting around the round about. he must have done this about 6 times. i thought im not having this, so i called up the cops and they send out a meat wagon to chase him!! exept, they miss him, cuz as hes drifting round one corner the police arrive on the other corner and they go past eachother on opposite sides (if u can imagine that?!) then they drive off, and so does the other car. but then the idiot guy comes back, more drifitng, and spins out 180 degrees to face oncoming traffic. then more drifting, but with THREE other cars around him!! one to his left, one infront & one behind! and a lil chav on his moped with neons on! what a w*nk*r!! so i call up the police control room again to update them, and tell them that the driver has pulled in so if they send someone now, they'll catch him.
About 10mins later, a traffic unit arrives starts talking to him, does the standard person check tax, mot & insurance etc. then this guy starts denying it and the bloody officer believes him & lets him off! even tho he pointed at the tyre marks on the road that this tosser had left behind, and where it had been raining you could see tyre marks on the road, in the damp.
There were about 10 witnesses and this guy got let off!
ive filed a complaint about the driver and the office that let him off. I dont see why TOSSERS like that pull stunts so dangerous like that, and manage to keep a clean license some poor person (like some of the guys on here doing say 10mph extra on the motorway get the penalty). Its absolutley appauling.
When the copper left, the driver (with his passeneger that had been in there all this time) did a final drift around the roundabout. and there were police driving around the area til we left about half hour later... I was waiting for him to come back so i could catch it on my camera fone, but he didnt show.
That guy isnt gunna stop, if anything it'l make him do it more, cuz he'l think the police came, and i got away with it!
We try so hard to maintain a clean license, it hardly seems worth it, when people do that and get away with it, with nothing more than a slap on the wrist! He deserves to have his license taken away for doing it, especially in the wet, and with other vehicles around him. Theres a time and a place for stuff like that and its on a track, not a public road.
I'm also in the process of writing a formal complaint to the Chief Constable of Hampshire, with my complaint. Im not going to let this go, until something is done about it. This prick is gunna end up killing someone, someone innocent, who just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, or cause a fatal accident.
Altho the driver did have a suitable T-shirt on..... CU Next Tuesday it said (but just the upper case).

Good on ya girl, I got pulled for my last numberplate and told to change it, I got a legal one made the same day! Then I though f**k it, everyone else does it and get's away with it so had the one in my sig made up (more legal than before) Thing is you could still see what it says, yet as you say he does all of that, you phone up and tell them and nothing is done! Do they think you made it all up or something?

It's always the decent people that get done, especially with seatbelts etc, I've seen cars full of people that look about 12 driving like dicks, no seatbelts, you can guarantee they're not insured as well and nothing ever happens to them!

god knows!!

it makes you SICK dnt it!!

(sorry if original post seemed like a bit of a rant!!)

It does yeah!

This is the plate they pulled me for

thats completely (insert expleitive here!!)

go on laur - 'ave it!
next time you spot something like this going on, have a video camera running from the moment you decide to call the filth, so you can document the sheer stupidity of what goes on... makes you wanna spit dunnit.

M.M. - all in all i'd say the new one is less obvious (for clocking the "real" number) than the old one

i never properly noticed the "T" was actually a "7" til now
(ace plate btw)

im not gunna drop it til somthing gets done.. its unfair to all of us who are legal and drive properly, we can do it - so why shouldnt they!?

Yeah, I loved it Tahrey, I was well gutted and angry when I had to change it, but I knew it was illegal. I thought I'd keep the 7 legal enough so that I shouldn't get pulled, the best pic to see it is.

Nice one laura, I'm glad to see someone who actually follows through with their complaint.
Too many people complain about allsorts of things then don't do anything to stop it.

Good luck with the letter.

gutted!

police aint gonna do sh!t...

good luck neways

Good on ya Laura!

Pricks like this deserve to have the book thrown at them, not slaps on the wrist!
