WEll there was the case recently in your kneck of the woods where the Judge belittled the cop for making shit up!

In fact he had tried to ruin one guy on here but suprisingly he was smarter than the cop and beat him!

The second time was to report the driver of a southbound BMW who had overtaken in peak hour traffic on blind corners, yellow lines and even in the face of oncoming traffic in northbound passing lanes.

In the first incident the guy denied everything so "we are unable to take further action" - meaning my word wasn't good enough, but I guarantee if a cop had witnessed it, the guy would have been done. In the second incident, all we got back was a letter saying the guy had been slapped on the hand with a wet bus ticket and told never to misbehave again - or words to that effect.

I've pretty much got to the stage where I don't bother reporting them now because it wastes my time and doesn't seem to result in anything happening.

And sAsLEX- what is purgery? Is that what bullimics do?

this is very good advice. Geez the cops got better things to do that chase up some whiners complaint. they gota get out there and get there quota quota quota

so don't waste ya time.

Dont mean to belittle your near miss Warren, but if I had 5c for every time a cager did this or something similar during my daily commute I'd be a rich man. (especially if they are the 2004 5c !!)

If you read my post you would have seen the words 'road rage' and 'physicaly threatened.'

I don't mind if you want to have a go at me but before doing so read my posts. That way you will at least sound like you know what your are talking about.
