RedM Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Ok so there is a gap, he pulls in but then slows down or breaks so he has a gap. You then have to apply the brakes to make sure there is a gap between you and him, then the car behind has to do the same and so on and so on. ..and that's how phantom jams begin. You can see it on every M-way at rush hour as people either force themselves into the fast lane causing breaking behind them or dart for the exit at the last minute causing more breaking. They never realise what happens behind them. Self important f***ing c***s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 When I first started driving I used to travel the A65 every day ......*SNIP*.....the jury disagreed *shrug* I thought that speeding up to prevent an overtaking manoeuvre was an offence. Isn't it classed as racing on a public highway? I'm sure Doug once posted about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturally he didn't need any evidence to back his side of things up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aweegin Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 ...the Supra is my pride and joy. Ditto.. coming from a modified Discovery that can happily jump kerbs and drive outta any field you may find yourself in..to a car that flinches at a wet road and speed humps.. I have found myself being MUCH more aware of my surroundings..up to near motor bike levels. For 6 years, no-one used to give the Disco much lip..let alone tail-gate for a 'race'..it's a new world owning a Supra..an enjoyable one tho. In keeping with the thread.. actually BEING able to overtake things without a weeks planning is very novel...tho I'm also aware of the trouble it can get me into. A bit of forethought is better than any regret... it's better to be late, than not arrive at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Ditto... A bit of forethought is better than any regret... it's better to be late, than not arrive at all. Well said. I also drive as I would imagine I would if I was on a motorbike. Very aware of cars in front and behind. The Supra has actually made me a better driver all round as I am much more aware.

Naturally he didn't need any evidence to back his side of things up. Whatever happened to innocent until prooven guilty? I would have denied any overtake. If they can't prove 100% you're guilty, you can't be punished. What's stopping coppers making up any story they want and targeting people they don't like just to feel big?

DaveK Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I would have denied any overtake. Yes, lying is always the best option. Of course - the court might have found it slightly unlikely that you hadn't overtaken and yet the policeman had still managed to get your registration despite you being several cars back. Sure you would have still been found innocent though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure you would have still been found innocent though. Well the copper lied. And who said he was infront? Who said they were even on the same stretch of road at the same time? There is no evidence to support any of it. All they have is the copper's word. And if he was driving, both hands on the wheel, how did he record the reg plate? Pen in his teeth and pad on the steering wheel? Who said he didn't have a run in with said car driver on a completely unrelated incident, holds a grudge, and thinks, "I know, I'll get him in the shit for something he won't be able to get out of." This just prooves thats the police believe they are above the law and can do what they please. I've seen and heard many times of police bullying, so it doesn't suprise me in the least tbh.

martini Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 A policeman could make up anything about any car. They could just drive past any car they didn't like the look of, and if the road is suitably empty and there is only 1 person in the other car... they can just make anything up. You have to hope that this doesn't happen often though. I know a couple of Policemen and they wouldn't do this. But, being as all policemen are human, they can still be dickheads just like anyone.

Carl_S Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Congrats, you drove with your heart out there, just like mr BMW. It's not dangerous driving, it's driving with a sense of humour. Flair. Style. If you go back to your sheep like driving, you will live for moments like this when your heart rules, becuase you will have something to contrast it to, something in reserve, like a magician with coloured feathers and a bunny up his sleeve.

kill1308 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I think you were both driving like tools to be honest.... someone coming the other way could have crashed into this guy because you didn't let him in. In my opinion the BMW plank made the situation extremely dangerous, you made it worse by acting childishly. I possibly would have done the same when I was in my younger years, but if I was in that situation now I would have let him in and just cursed the sh*t out of him from where I was and told my mates down the pub about this c*ck BMW driver. Not worth playing with peoples lives no matter how much of a tool he was, it wasn't just his life at risk.... Wouldn't judge you for it though, but it was a silly decision....
