Feeling the police frustration

another statistic waiting to happen and its tools like this that make it difficult for all the sensible enthusiasts out there. obviously this clowns weapon of choice is a commodore, but this is not about what brand of car it is. overtaking on corners, double white lines, through townships etc. no wonder the police get frustrated when knob heads like this drive in such a manner.

and please, lets not draw any links to this sort of behaviour and slipping over the limit by a handful of km's.

changing rules and and regulations and increasing penalties only affects those that abide by the laws in the first place. these types of folks (in the video) have no intention of following the rules so what good is changing them really going to do?

its really no wonder the focus continues to be on speed when these oxygen thieves carry on like they do.

Agreed....

Just an accident waiting to happen.. Sad thing is it will be some poor innocent that will lose their life due to clowns like this....

That second video is Range Road North. They better hope they're not locals, because if I find out who they are I'll break their ******* necks. That's a road my missus and her family travels along daily. Infact, so do I.

The second part of that video is North East Road. Where he overtook that Mitsubishi is a series of BLIND sweeping corners. Could have easily been a family coming the other way.

Edit: Just realised, as he passed through Inglewood. One of those cars he overtook was my Missus..... I hope the faggot wraps himself around a tree.

i think we CAN draw a slight link to this sort of behaviour and "slipping over the limit by a handful of km's" - as the few km's you are talking about is more often then not actually a constistent behaviour of speeding. some drivers drive 99% of the time at whatever speed they like (even if it is only a few kms over the limit - but often to stay in front of everyone else on the road "its a race") and it is a small chance of being caught, and when they are caught they cry foul. there is a culture of speeding in australia, an epedemic, and something more annoying - a culture of 'dragging' where so many drivers do hard acceleration, which i think should be classed as hooning. this mindset in drivers of caring little for speed rules, for many people it evolves to not caring for other road rules. there are psychological issues for many drivers on our public roads too - needing to accelerate faster then other drivers, and needing to be ahead of everyone at every moment, why do people behave like this? why cant we all just drive like on the day we passed our driving tests?

Zero: the roads you mention ...should you be refering these to the police? Might narrow the search...

I assume they'd have worked it out by now. They're pretty well-known roads.

Epoedemic, what a load of crap.

Drawing a long bow there. Gross generalisations and some inaccuracy too - hard acceleration IS classified as hooning.

I am tempted to ask why the speed cameras didn't slow them down? (Note: sarcasm) But that is just another distraction.

Unfortunately there will always be someone who has complete disregard for the safety of others. No law will prevent this kind of behaviour.

The only generalization I will make is that 95% plus on this site would be sickened by the actions of these blokes once again giving those that generally do the right thing another bad rap. Intentionally speeding with a total disregard of theirs and others safety and intentionally breaking the law and unintentionally but safely going over the limit by 2mm on the speedo is not similar no matter how you look at it

Also heaven forbid if we all drove like on the day we got our licenses! I was a nervous wreck concentrating on passing and not on anything else! After 30 odd years driving I sure hope I have improved some what.

Just to stupid for words really

OzJavelin · 15-08-2011, 07:47 AM

What a bunch of knobs. No regard for the safety of any anyone else on the road. I've seen some tools driving like that before but the continual overtaking on blind corners and against oncoming traffic?! Makes me embarrassed to be a "car enthusiast" because I'd get tarred with the same bush as these Mensa-candidates. Actually I'm embarrassed to be in the same genus for the same reason ..

The word is epidemic.....

Hard acceleration is a hooning offence here in SA....

There is slipping over the limit, like we all do on occasion... Then there is outright disregard for other people on the road.

Thanks spelling police

chrisfpv · 15-08-2011, 09:06 AM

Pretty shocking stuff. Hopefully they are caught out sooner rather than later!

Spudz27 · 15-08-2011, 09:55 AM

One day we will get to see the video of this idiot loosing control and killing himself and anyone else in the car, it will happen eventually. The police catching him won't stop it.

I was nearly T-Boned with my son in the car by a P plater in a VS complete with yellow sticker, crossing to wrong side of road to cut the corner and whilst doing that flooring it and sliding sideways, then back again towards my car. Every day at 3:30 I here the distinct sound of his **** exhaust and him flooring it (business I work for is on a corner he uses everyday), the other day I saw the cops had him pulled over and out of his car, searching it etc. Karma is a ***** I thought, but the very next day at 3:30 I heard the unmistakeable sound of that **** exhaust, and his car flooring it around the corner. Only death will teach these people.

Whitey-AMG · 15-08-2011, 10:26 AM

Hopefully the Police can follow up on any leads and these people can be dealt with.......Some people never learn.......

1 word for this person. F...wit. Hope he wrapes himself round a tree avoiding someone. And I hope that smeone that witnesses it, goes up and smacks him round the head just for good measures.

Did you mean wraps or rapes, or both?

Pointless thread that was never going anywhere!
How many times do we have to ask you all:
No avoiding the swear filter
No Trolling
No Generalisations that will cause arguments
No rude comments and abuse of other members - in any degree.

Just a waste of bandwidth and I have closed.
