Dangerous driving (BWG542)

Let them know you are happy to stay on the phone til the cop arrives and can give them a running commentary... calltaker probably thought you buggered off when you hung up...as is often the way...

I saw a guy driving and drinking a beer so called the cops.

To be honest the lady who answered asked all this crazy questions, was he speeding.........lady he is driving ands he has what looks like a big bottle of booze in his mouth..........I really felt that I should not have bothered.

Anyway, I think the guy got picked up as his car was up for sale soon after.

It's the fucking up over and over again that makes you deserve it... I could be wrong though, what did you do to get 80 demerit points in one hit Renegade?

I'm going to have to weigh in on this one as well and say that i agree with imdying... if you get demerits you are doing something stupid and got caught.

Just for a change, lets stop looking at demerits as a badge of honour and start looking at them for what they really are .. proof that you were riding like an idiot and got caught.

We all do stupid shit and i'd be lieing if i said that i didn't as well .. but i dont have any points on my license, maybe that makes me lucky ?? or maybe it means that i don't do stupid shit very often.

But enough of that, back on topic, I have used both the *555 and the on-line form a couple of times, the boys and girls in blue have always followed up and on a couple of occasions even rung me to tell me that they got the bastard i reported.

I say, do everything you can to get bad drivers and riders off the road, it makes it a safer place for the rest of us.

Rant over.

Yep I did the online form, as said before if I layed a charge it's just me vs them.

Cheers for the advice.

trying to lay charges is a waste of time ... i doubt the cops would have even bothered ... better to use the form or *555 .. if they get enough reports about the same person ... well .. a visit from your local cop does wonders .. lol

so he gets away with nearly killin someone with dangerous driving, so next time he has bigger balls and actually does it....problem is it be someone else, dont you think they deserve a chance?.

nope. I don't dob people in, becuase I don't want to be dobbed in, if it was really bad, i'd stop the basterd one way or another.

also if im broke on 80 demerits and about to lose my job....id say i feckin deserve it!!!!you see that would mean i spend all my money on booze/drugs, get caught speeding and going to lose my job cause i was so wasted that i didnt turn up for work....and you want to let this type of person get away with it?

and as for karma, it could mean that he goes down the road around the next corner and runs you down as he goes through the next red light, but hey you wanted to let karma deal with it instead of the cops......
