Default Just need to VENT

well, just driving from erina (central coast) to kariong and the story starts.

OK, just driving along and this silver ea (red P's) starts tailgating me, i thought what the?...... whats their problem, anyway they start overtaking and going side by side and the dip**** starts saying nice corolla ****er and the like and i was trying to ignore it all, anyway they start swerving around and the drivers got half a bottle of milk out the window - and anyone who knows this road knows its quite busy. So they get in front of us and slow right down and try to spit on the car - i was getting quite nervous by now as it was just myself and 2 girls, my wife and her friend from sweden (yes she is blonde). And at the next lights they pulled up beside my window and start swearing and saying all kinds of crap, i said you should be a commodore, the guy in the back goes 'i gotta vt already' figures i said.

What do you do? driving a corolla with 2 girls? i dont believe in those dob in a hoon websites, and cops do jack all unless your doing 5 km over, but i would really like to catch up with them again some time with a meat cleaver. These guys were driving like they were either drunk or high or something and they were annoying other drivers too, but not the same amount.

Well if it doesnt make sense just know that silver ea needs a damn good smack in the head, before the hurt somebody. I guess not all halfwit degenerates drive commo's.

report it to the cops, that is harassment and if they have had or get more complaints about the same vehicle they will do something about it. they may even just pay him a visit for the way he acted towards you, who knows, he may end up having his car taken away...it would serve him right

Bloody bogans... They probably weren't high, just retards. We can all pray that they put that EA around a pole and maim themselves...

I've had som hoons do similar to me. They pulled up beside me and swerved at my car (EL at the time) and then pulled in front and slammed on the brakes. I put it down to some junkies that were high and most likely in a stolen car.
Have also had an idiot chase me - he followed (high speed too) for about 20 mins until I pulled into the police station. Scary stuff at the time.
There are definately some nutcases on the roads.

unfornatually the central coast is full of bogans...
i am a coastie and have been my whole life...

im guessing that either the person just got their licene and is out with friend or still drunk from last night....

a few months bag i had the same thing happen to me in my el... the person was driving VL commy and tailgating me seriousally close going along sparks road...
my reaction after 2 mins of this annoyance was to slam the vehicle i was driving down into 1'st ... supsequenty he hit the back of the car i was driving...
this person has now been forced to fork up about 6~ grand in repair costs to my el.

the coast is full of iddiots... report to them to the cops.... i think its like 3 reports?? and the police will pay them a visit....
i have had one of these visits... my neigbours hated me taking off every morning at 3am in my XD and using the remote start on a niiice v8

The other week a couple of days after picking up my BA I was taking my mother home from the hospital to Rosebud and towards the end of the freeway a P plater in a VS commie starts swerving at me and egging me on to drag him. Knowing there was a booze bus at the end of the freeway I started to play his little game and just before the bend I backed right off to late for him but as I got there got breathoed by a very nice sort her male collegues were beginning to go over his car with a fine tooth comb and she mentioned to me that he claimed I was dragging him which I laughed off as I had my mother in the car I wouldn't went past later canary on his car being picked up by a towie lol!

I'd report them to the EPA for littering (throwing the milk bottle out at you) for a start, i think its a $200 fine. That should get their attention

The problem with the "dob a hoon" website or ringing 1800COPPERS is that it is a two edged sword. Yes these guys are dropkicks and deserve to get sorted in OUR opinion but they think they were ok.
Scroobie and his bank of nutcases think that everything WE do is bad and if the "dob in" system became normal then everytime you overtake a granny doing 80 in a 100 zone you will have to explain to some over zealous 19 year old hitler youth in a blue suit that you were not doing 350km/h sideways as detailed in the sworn statement from the granny. (N.B. granny is this post describes granny like drivers of both genders).

I have personally been on the wrong end of one of these. Fortunately the dobber was stupid enough to pull up to see me get my just deserts. I drove away with a "oops but we never say we are sorry" from the coppers and he did not have a fun day. It could have gone the other way because it was my word against his. I am lucky he was a moron.

Right now it is your word against theirs, yes you have witnesses but they are all in your car, they also have witnesses in their car. Nothing will happen if you dob them.

You now have these idiots IDs, this should scare them as they are not anonymous and can be tracked down. A quiet word is always good for enlightening them as the have no idea who YOU are ......

I had similar to that last week, there was a vp with a bunch of ferals in it (white Nike hats, wearing dada and the like) trying to get my ex girl friend and her mates numbers, her mate told them to fk off, they didn’t like that so they chased us all the way from the city to centennial park then we lost them in back streets.
The following night we were traveling along Anzac highway and there was a silver el following us, every time I’d change lanes he'd follow. I slowed to 50 and he remained behind me, once we got to the city the vp appeared again. This time they decided they wanted to take it out on me. At one of the intersections on west terrace I had to stop for a red light and one of them got out and was trying to smash my window in. Once the lights went green I sped off leaving him behind and he hurled a bottle at my car leaving a dent on the boot lid. From there they continued following us until we turned onto Hindley street and payed a visit to the police (they couldn’t do much). Both times it was just me and the girls in the car, and all males in their car(s).

I must addmit this sort of thing doesn't happen to me a lot but. One time a guy in a hilux of all things took exception to me overtaking him on the freeway. Came up beside me & starting swerving at me. I fixed him, through it back to 3rd & just drove offinto the distance.ha ha ha...

Another time the lane was ending so the traffic had to merge to the right, no real problem, but one guy just didnt want to let anyone in, so who bares the brunt of his anger.
This guy was off his head & I was crapping meself he was gonna kick hell out of my car!! he calmed down when he worked out he was making a dick of himself..

I know exatcly how you feel on the way to Phillip Island for the V8's, i was driving my XR8 and i passed a Toyota Landcruiser (Must be toyota drivers!), at about 115Km/h, indicated, pulled back in only to have him boot it, flash me and go off his cracker, too this day i cannot work out what i have done wrong!

But i don't get alot of respect from other drivers on the road being a P plater and driving a nice car.

I feel for you xe351, a bad position to be put in thats for sure, i suggest you report it and thats about all you can do, unless you see them again...

As has been mentioned stupid stuff like this gives decent P platers a bad reputation.

"Right Place Right Time"

I had only had my XD S-Pack for a few weeks and some "Idiot" in a rough looking Capri decided to see how close he could get to me on Parramatta Rd ,swerving very close , first on the right , then on the left . Then decides to pull in front and slam on the brakes .

What he didn't notice was the "unmarked" car watching from behind ....

The last I saw of him , he was sitting on the side of the road and a "gentleman" in a blue uniform was "going to speak to him" . I just kept on driving and thought I'd let them "sort it out" :

Sometimes "unmarked cars " can be your best friend .
