 Posted: 12:01 - 17 Jul 2004 Post subject: Bastard kids in my road (legal help) |
 |
|
Hi, there are these shitty chavs who sit in the corner of my road on their bmx's and skateboards, with no regard to road direction or traffic. THey leave object in the road (i nearly hit an aluminium bar grind rail a while back which i didnt even see and id only stopped for the gimpy kid, if he hadnt of stayed there like dumb tit i would have gone straight into it.
I have had several words with them, and they naff off at the time, and then come back. We have talked to their parents, and they gave us a load of gip, then the kids were out again.
And the really annoying thing is we are RIGHT next to a cycle track, a big park, etc etc. They just deserve shooting.
Last week i came in from work, up my road, and they were all skating about in the middle of the road, and one actually skated at me even after they saw me. I actually stopped so sharply my bike stalled (i have a slippy clutch).
My question is what can the police do, cos sooner or later one of em is gonna get hit, which frankly i would find fantastic, aslong as its not by me, either or my parents, any mates or my sister. However sods law it probably would be me.
Or if the police cant do anything, how raped would i get for 'accidentally' clipping one of them with my foot or such when i go past. Cos they really really fuck me off.
And some of them are like 16-18.
Oh and for the record theres a skate park about 15 minutes walk from my house.

If there in the road, and they can clearly see you coming, just keep going, don't break the speed limit and accidently have your foot slip off, or if there in your path keep going.
Only way to teach them is by pain or scaring the shit out of them. ____________________ VAG Cars - www.vagcars.co.uk - North East VAG Owners Club |

Don't quote me on that though. |
Hum, I'm quoting you, but only because you're wrong. Any powered vehicle must give way to a pedestrian - even if that pedestrian is faffing about in the middle of the road on a skateboard, in an irritating manner. Simply claiming that you were innocently driving along, at or under the speed limit, and the skater didn't get out of your way does not make him or her responsible for any collision. You have a duty to observe and take appropriate evasive action. Haven't you looked at a Highway Code recently?
Git's tape idea is probably the best; there have been many similar cases recently where taped evidence has led to ASBOs being issued, which means Plod will actually do something if you call them out.
Good luck.. |

If you have names and/or addresses, you don't need taped evidence to make a complaint to the police. If enough people (or in some cases the right people) do it, they can go and caution both the kids and their parents and warn them that if they continue to cause a nuisance they could become liable for an ABSO.
Problem is, if you made a complaint, are they the sort of people who would take revenge on you for "grassing" them up? If they are then a quiet word with your local bike club, followed by a "polite" visit to their parents, might just do the trick. ____________________ Sod falling in love, I wanna fall in chocolate.  |

I doubt they would come after me, maybe grass me up for my wheelies at 2 in the morning but no proof.
I really would love nothin more then for them to get mowed down in a fountain of blood by a big four by four. Sadly... not going to happen. And i have next to no chance of getting away with accidentally clipping one.
Altho last time i wheelied at them they all scarpered. ____________________ China traffic/travel bike vid - When I make a sweeping statement, please add the word 'statistically' in to the sentence before you bitch...

Can't you just pull out a big gun and shoot them in the knees?
That'll stop them getting near the road. ____________________ Currently riding a 2000 RS125, ( I have a bike at last )

A handfull of small chukies scattered accross the road should prove effective. You gotta find ones just slightly bigger than the distance between the road and the axle of a skateboard. Used to do this for entertainment when I lived in Edinburgh and you got fed up not being able to walk accross a certain part of the university for fear of being mown down. Used to just saunter across the area in question casually dropping chuckies on the way then sit back and watch  ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.
