Sweet moment with the police

**Steam** · 5th February 2007, 20:23

You know how the police seem to be never there when you need them?
Well in this case...

I just got cut off by some scumlicking young punk in a black van, who smiled at me as he turned right in front of me. I emergency braked, I swear he wanted me to whack into the side of his home-painted shitbox.

I followed him to where he stopped outside his house, only 50m away, where I had a few words with him.
He said with a smirk that he hadn't seen me, and when I said I believed he deliberately tried to fuck me over he basically said "tough, sucker," laughed, and went inside.
So I left, couldn't do much else. I was so mad, I was shaking with anger. I was happy I didn't lose it and whack him or something.

But just as I left I saw a police car cruise past, waved it over, and told them what just happened, pointed to the van, pointed to his house.
They took my details, told me to go on my way, then they went and paid him a visit.

Sweet! Even if nothing more comes of it, it'll still be a bit of a shock for him to have the cops knocking on his door less than 5 minutes after attempting to kill a motorcyclist.

Good work Steam on both the emergency braking and getting the cops to have a word with that fricking idiot - you may have just saved an innocent bikers life by reporting him. Well done.

Cripes! Thats better service than you get from the local pizza delivery guy! Big thumbs up to them. Bet it put a smile on your face!

Good stuff. In my perfect world we would be able to shoot scum like that and get a good samaritan award for doing everyone a favour.

On ya - for keeping your cool and then having that serendipitous moment with the ecilop! Excellent civil duty you performed for your fellow bikers and sharing it with the rest of us!

With your bike decked out the way it is and the police knocking on his door so soon - guess it gives added meaning to the scream:

"INCOMING !!!"

Heads Up

Sorry, what was that address again?

**Switch** · 6th February 2007, 01:44

Good on ya dude. Hope he gets in shit for it

It's attitudes like his (the drivers) that really make me furious as a rider. They just don't think at all. A little fender bender in a car against his van, bit of a bump, no harm done, but a motorbike against his van could mean serious injury or even death. They seem to be stuck in the mindset that it's just going to be a similar result to a fender bender!

Every car driver who causes a motorbike crash should be taken to court and done for Careless Driving Causing Injury (or death). Maybe a criminal record and a hefty fine will wake them the hell up. Absolutely bloody stupid, no wonder we feel as though we're taking our lives into our own hands!

Sorry, rant over.

Oh yeah, and well done for getting the Police to knock on his door. Maybe that'll light a fire under his bum.

Should have hung around and checked out what the result actually was... an easy fails to give way $150 fine most likely...

Surely (and sadly) it all depends on whether the police witnessed the incident otherwise it's your word against theirs. Hence you'll never get a ticket when someone *555 you (unless you're still riding/driving like a twat when the police turn up!)

Although I certainly wouldn't condone following them home, taking note of where they live, taking 2 weeks off work and tracking their motions and then hospitalising the buggers one by one...no siree - I certainly wouldn't condone that kind of behaviour.....who said I was from Glasgow? It's a vicious rumour.
