Score 10 points for BADD

[madbikeboy]

Boys and Girls,

Caged home in the airport on Thursday night, as I was driving along the Mangere motorway, came across a Legacy weaving all over the road - he was moving from the extreme right of his lane, and then weaving until his left wing mirror was scuffing the armco.

So, being that I totally adore people who drive drunk, and I've enjoyed the funerals as a result, I ended up tucking in behind him, and *555'd. When your blood starts boiling, I reckon it's a good idea not to get into it in person, someone ends up getting damaged (I keep breaking fingers when knocking dickheads out...).

I talked with the *555 people following drunken fucktard at anything between 35 and 70kph, and ended up guiding a patrol car to intercept him. He stopped at the Manukau road BP, and I ended up quietly blocking his car in. He got out, did the drunken saunter inside, and started buying himself a Servo Pie - an obvious sign of bravery, stupidity, or drunkeness.

Cop turns up about then, and has a chat.

I drive off about this point, I needed to home to a bed after too many weeks of travel and bad food.

I get a phone call - turns out Mr Legacy was indeed drunk, and he was enjoying a stay in a bed provided by the NZ Police.

So, score one for the BADD's. Can I post the fucktards number plate on here??

Anyhow, I'm off for a ride.

Good work, and nice to get a follow up call about him :)

[Oakie]

Nice. You'll never know of course but you may have saved a family or two a whole lot of heartbreak.

[Okey Dokey]

Well done you!

[Manxman]

Onya mate.

Fektard drunks. Throw the frickken key away...and fry his nuts.:niceone:

Why do people do this?????????????????????????

[alanzs]

I remember reading a long time ago that the police figured that after midnight, 50% of the people driving were under the influence of something. Scary shit, but I see it all the time when riding home late.:shit:

Yeah, agree. But it's kind of like smacking laws - it's only the people who will totally ignore the legislation that the legislation should have targeted...

I was sitting in my ride, cursing the drunken fool, he had a couple of close calls as he wandered into the path of oncoming traffic - but how do you stop a car in traffic without risking everyone else? In a perfect world it'd be acceptable to use them as target practice.

And in a perfect world, there would be world peace, no country music, and wheelstands would get rated instead of ticketed...

[madbikeboy]

Good work, and nice to get a follow up call about him :)

Yeah, I was well pleased to get the call. I've been debating putting his number plate up here - is that against the privacy laws?

[Mikkel]

Good job! :niceone:

I believe it is yes.

Besides, we're neither judge nor executioner. The police got this fella, I'm sure they'll impose the penalties upon said fucktard that are deemed justifiable by the wider society.

[FLYMO]

theres more peeps like u needed on the road mate
good work

[goodguy8]

So whats that *555 number for? reporting or sumthin... so whats *222 for? and i cant recall but there are a few numbers like that?!

[<G>]

Good on you MBB, also good to know that *555 works.
*222 is the AA's number.

[ManDownUnder]

Good work. :niceone: Fucktard off the streets, hopefully going to be hit with something harder than a wet bus ticket.

No need to post plate info... it really serves no purpose and only puts you int he wrong (good ol' NZ law...).

[Genestho]

You mightve saved a life, we'll never know and that is a good thing!!! We'd rather not!!


High five buddy!! :2thumbsup

Lets hope the Judge steps up to the plate, itd be interesting to know if thats a first time offence or a repeat...Maximum penalty for drink driving with two or more convictions is two years jail, havent seen that yet if ever. Although Judge Adeane over in Hawkes Bay isnt putting up withem. Do you have to appear, or do you write out a statement? Or is it in the hands of the cops to charge once theyve pulled him over, on their evidence alone? Will they let you know the outcome?

Thanks MBB

[90s]

Good work man.
The wife worked at an airport shop there for a few years and her shift would end at either 9:00 or 10:30pm. She thought that a 50% drunken rate on that motorway at that time would be conservative.

[Forest]

It wouldn't be against the law to post the plate. Number plates are a matter of public record.

-------------------------

As an aside. Why am I not entirely surprised to hear he was driving a Legacy?

[imdying]

It wouldn't be against the law to post the plate. Number plates are a matter of public record.The law is a complicated beast though, aren't there things like intent that are looked at in a case like that?


As an aside. Why am I not entirely surprised to hear he was driving a Legacy?Heh yeah, if you want the fastest car on the road, buy a Legacy during ski season :lol:

Hmm, there is something about legacy's that make people lower their seat, wear ugly baggy pants, and a baseball cap backwards... Or they're rednecks.

[DMNTD]

Onya mate...my friends and family appreciate it :sunny:


...*222 is the AA's number.
Mate that's either a funny or ironic as hell

[Her_C4]

Oi:Oi: I drove a modified Legacy for years (until last week actually) and I am sure that I didn't have a lowered seat, and wear a baseball cap backwards.... although I am probably guilty of wearing ugly baggy pants and having pink fluffy dice in the windscreen as a dare from my son. So what generalisation / conclusions do you make there I wonder?:oi-grr:

Before I get another demerit from you, generalisations are fun because they bring a mental image that we can (mostly) identify with. If you lived on Auckland's north shore, you'd smile at my finger pointing, because there is a modicum of truth. Living in Welly is different, more civilised somehow. In Minneapolis (the cultural capital of the world - Tui), a woman driving a legacy wagon would have the same sort of questions of her sexuality that a male living in Ponsonby driving a TT, and wearing pink shirts.

Fluffy? Dice???

And you ride a Duc?

Ha ha ha - another demerit? I wasn't aware that I had ever given anyone any over all the time I had been on this site?? Must have been important to me :baby:

YES! fluffy dice - big pink fluffy ones that my elder son bought me as a joke and dared me to put them in the car - so I did! They are (were) great. Excellent talking point and great reaction from people.

Not sure what you meant by the fluffy dice / 1098 reference? :banana:

[Her_C4]

Oh and PS.

Damned fine work in calling it in - the more proactive we all are the more peoples lives we can potentially save. :clap:

Ignoring site ettiquite - Jan of this year. It's my only one, so it's special in a warm fluffy bunny rabbit kind of way... Tui.

Your avatar is a 1098 - it just seems incongruous that a red Ducati owner (peak of style and class) would own fluffy dice (the opposite of style and class)... Does your son ride too? There's a dilemma, and I'm about to start something here, but if (when???? meaning is there a woman out there willing to bred considering my pool gene pool???) I have a son, I'm not sure I'd let him ride. Nor would I let my daughter ride pillion on some bikers bitch pad. Why?? the biker might be a hoon. Like me... :)

Ohhh ok -I thought you were referring to red rep - not my brief foray into moderating.

I am the queen of incongruity purposefully. I hate to be predictable (which of course means that my actions behaviours are entirely predictable to those that know me - reverse psychology :devil2:).

Yes my elder son does ride, and I assure you that he would be astounded at your comment regarding 'letting him ride'. :msn-wink: ha ha ha in fact I believe I shall share that with him this evening...:bleh:

[Genestho]

so dude, do you get notified of the outcome in the end? Do you have to write out a statement, are you required to appear at court, or do the Police take over from the point of catching drunk driving legacy guy? Im interested how the process of this all goes. Pm if you like

Hey, how are you doing? I think, and I may be wrong about this, the Police don't care how he was driving before, or where he was driving, because as soon as they take the evidentiary blood test, then that's all that is needed to bust Mr A Hole drunk guy. I think if there was an accident, then all the witness statements are taken into account. I was giving a commentary as I followed drunk guy, so they've got that as record.

BTW, I went to jump out at some lights, the lights changed before I could - but the person on the *555 said it was up to me if I wanted to do it. Kind of good to know.

The arresting officer was an older guy, (sarge?), and in the brief minute of chat, he seemed pretty calm about it, seen it all before too many times type stuff.

So, if what the people on this thread have said is true, and that 50% of people on that stretch of road are drunk after dark, then the drunk driving message is certainly not getting through.

[Genestho]

Interesting points, and if that comment - based on an unresearched statistical assumption of 50% of drivers are drunk along that stretch of road is true, Id have to wonder why the cops arent sitting there ready to bust easy targets? Half their job is done - one would think.

And your right the message does not get through, every section of society drinks and drives, its upto good people that know better to take responsibilty for the ones that are not in a postion to know better, and take steps to prevent the carnage, lead by example. Making a decision just like you chose to, to prevent legacy guy to be removed from oncoming traffic.Too easy. Well done
