Who's sick of Boy Racers?

[Waylander]

Video tape their antics and take the tape to the police.

Make sure to get good shots of faces and rego plate?

I live in a quiet little street but lately the Boy Racer factor has been getting out of hand.
Tonight they were racing side by side down our street then finished off with a half arsed wheelspin.
I've had enough of these pricks spoiling my little slice of heaven...time to take a stand.

Got any ideas on how to deal with the wankers???? all legal of course

Try this to report them: Roadwatch No waiting...

I was taking some photos at a reserve one day and these dickheads started chewing up the grass in their wank mobiles. I took photos, printed them off and took them in to the police. Couldn't exactly say "it wasn't me, officer" when you could see their rego, what they were doing, and who was driving. Come out with a camera a few times and they will find somewhere else to play.

Only other alternative is to move to the country, down a no exit road like the one we live on! Heaps of tyre marks on the through-road that leads to ours (especially by the intersection with the railway line - man, I hope they miscalculate one day!) but none down our road. It's too narrow to try anything on (ditches either side) and there are three houses at the very end of the road so they wouldn't get far if they tried anything in the turning circle there. Result? Dead quiet all day and all night - bliss! In town we used to live on a street with a 90 degree corner halfway along, so they used to slide around it at speed. I don't miss that stupidity - combined with their thumping stereos and crap music - one little bit.

I reckon as well as getting the cops involved, a more long term solution would be to get the council to chuck in a couple of speed bumps. The really nasty short ones. It'll be a bit of a pain for everyone else too but might be worth it if it makes them simmer down?!


Heh - either that or next time you're out sitting on the chair on your deck having a smoke, hold a shotgun across your chest and rock back and forth chewing on a bit of straw. "Yerrr - ain't none o those darn boii racers messing wi' Uncle Bruce's lane anymoore, eh Cletis?! KaBOOM!!! Nope - there sure aint son."

Good shit!! We had a similar type of thing, those caught on the video got done to the tune $800, those that said "I'm not saying who was driving my car" got done to the tune of $1,500!!!

And Ive got some ideas on how to fix the problem. However I did the stoopid thing of becoming a RN and now have to behave myself.

Living in West Auckland was like living in Pit Lane at Pukekohe on the V8 raceweekend,it was constant,non stop day and night.Now we are in a small town I guess the boi racers are known to all,you can hear them blasting around - but they seldom come down our culdesack....because a boi racer lives next door! I think he is very respected in their community,often a peer group has a respected leader (American Graffiti) although they like to come and show him their cars,they wouldn't come and do a burnout outside his house,that would be bad form.Maybe living next door to a house with 12 cars on the front lawn has some advantages...

"I cut a hole in the bottom of the pack and screwed the gun/hose assembly into the base of the tank."

Gun/hose? Doesnt he mean "Gung-ho"?

Then you get the noise of them (and everyone else) engine braking, followed by them gassing it back up to speed again.

I like the idea of the CCTV (whether its real or not, but real would be better) becuase it not only deters the boy racers, but also might help deter theives. Worth a try anyway, especially if you live in a culdesac. Not expensive these days to get a cheap little cam that records on to a PC's hard drive. Just get a couple of decent sized hdd's, and some motion detection software (there is stuff available on the net for free).

I know you said legal but grab a hunk of metal pipe and you can smash a surprisingly large number of windows/windscreens in the time it takes them to realise whats happening, start the car and take off.

Course I've never done such a thng and this isnt speaking from personal experience

The Police might welcome somewhere to store their cars while they are waiting for the budget to get them warranted. Their own yard must be getting pretty full.
How about asking them if they'll trailer one down to your street and park it on the side of the road as a visual deterrent?
Just a thought....

[bkrwench]

get yourself some tyre spikes
go out and loiter inconspiculusly
chuck them under the wheels when they pass
dont get too carried away and check there not still on the road (the spikes)

[Paul in NZ]

Neighbourhood watch mate...

Talk to all the folks in the street. Get them all to go buy a cheap disposable camera with a flash in it (assuming they don't own one) and when they start up, all come out and take pictures of them.

Compile a list of the registrations and hand to the Police.

You can find out the car owners names / address from the rego and send them a letter politely asking them NOT to do this anymore.

Cheers
