So was this over the top?

video the offenders........make a copy......take it to the police and make a formal complaint citing the public safety aspect of offenders actions...........let the cops know you have a copy and will be forwarding it to Nick Smith and ACC and fair go if nothing happens...........

Leverage, I like it...

Might reactivate my roof mounted security camera and aim it at the road.

You need a hobby.

And no chasing kids on scooters isnt a hobby.

Can we make it a sport then?

Maybe if you change the roof mount camera for a roof mounted 50 cal.

Now we're getting there! That dark little corner where the mind dwells on the insanely appealing yet completely unreasonable and unjustifiable course of action...

So anyone got any ideas on what to do about the other two kids around the corner who own a 125 -175 trailbike and ride it up the road with no helmets, at road speed, and often on the footpath where young families are cycling?

So far cops have been non-responsive...

Have you tried approaching their parents?Some of us actually listen when people tell us about the things our kids get up to.

[Berries]

so I let rip at the little c*nt about the way he was riding, the fact I was a rider and had my license, insurance, safety gear etc etc.

and a car, apparently.

I think Gremlin solved the case in the second post.

I don't even know which house they're from yet they're out, buzz up the street & gone by the time I get to the front door...

My social biases tell me these kids may not have parents like you and I.

Its all in the delivery...who ever listened to thier parents when they raised thier voice?

I mostly agree with that actually, but then who ever questioned their parents when they were just kids...

Next thing after raised voice was getting clobbered..........so yeah

[riffer]

I call bullshit on this one.

Original Poster is from Upper Hutt, has a motherf*(en great Hilux Surf and doesn't have a fully loaded gun rack on it?

A real Upper Hutt man would have reached back, grabbed the hunting rifle, and fired some 30/30 through the scooter engine block, disabling that bike for certain.

Then given the scroter rider a good smack around the head for good measure.

I'd probably run the the clappers if you rolled up spouting some garbage, too.

That said, yes you're crazy, but I like your attitude!

Wasn't trying to catch him, just track him for the boys in blue to then do their bit - WOF, Rego, license, then take my statement about dangerous driving. Still gonna lodge the formal report tomorrow and see if it goes anywhere. If not, at least I tried.
