 Posted: 11:00 - 12 May 2007 Post subject: Nuisance Boy Racer Late At Night |
 |

would describe where I live now as a sleepy little village, unfortunately because of that, there is little to do for some of the sheltered little fresh out of school kids around here, who insist on driving around the village at 1am in the morning, tyre screeching and redlining engines that are already loud enough thanks to cheap exhaust systems
the main culprit is the same guy, he has a mini, its bloody loud, wherever he is in the vicinity of the village i can hear him
last night i had enough, i was just drifting off about midnight after his first 'session' and then he came past again, so i got in my car and went looking for him, parked up at a crossroads, and as he came past i followed him, he pulled down a side road and did a U turn in front of me, so i blocked the road with my car, jumped out and started towards him, he didnt hang around and sped off in the other direction
one of his crew came up the road behind me, so i flagged them down and asked if they knew the guy in the mini, they denied it and said they were from high wycombe
i drove off to look for him again, then went and parked in the village hall car park, which tends to be where they park up, play music, and rev engines between driving around
before long, after the twat had gathered himself, he pulls into the car park with his corsa crew in tow, and came over to see me (funny how you will never get them on their own if they can help it), i put it to him that what he was doing was unacceptable, and that after 11pm i expect him to desist, and if he did not i would take it further and there would be consequences one way or the other for his lack of respect for other people
he is about 5ft nothing, scrawny little 17 year old in my estimation, who has nothing else to do with his evenings other than to scream around his village, clearly hasnt bought a map to find his way out where real roads actually exist
despite all this still went on to threaten me, that if anything happens to his car there will be trouble, dropped some random names about boxing champions with no ears, which of course will come and get me etc etc, he doesnt give a shit basically about anything else, and seems to think he has every right to be having a laugh as he pays his road tax (his words)
from a personal point of view when i was really into late night riding etc, i always went off a decent distance from home hunting out the good roads, and if i passed through a village, it would be only once
firstly i'd like to know what the legal standpoint is, with residents having a "right to quiet" after a certain time, surely along the same lines as the highway code doesnt permit the use of a horn between 11pm and 7am, is it enforceable is there anything than can be done through official channels, that would make it undesirable for him to continue, i'm sure i cant be the only one who gets pissed off with it, but perhaps the only one who has been bothered to confront him
if any of you were in a similar position what would you do?
i dont really want to get into criminal damage, threatening violence etc as we both live in the same village, and im not into that anyway, but if i have to disable his car in order that i can get some sleep then that is what i will do ____________________ So in other words, he stopped you for being flagrantly in posession of a motorcycle in direct contravention of the Hippies, Darkies and People Whose Face I Don't Like The Look of (Police Powers) Act. 1976 |

I feel your pain.
Living on a main road in Reading is doing my tits in. The drone of the cars is far worse than bikes in my opinion.
I might have a race can on my bike but I am considerate at unsocial hours (not using choke and not warming it up before leaving early in the morning etc) and I expect everyone else to be. If they aren't and you have the opportunity, do what you need to.
Having said that, the most annoying vehicle that passes down our road is a 2 stroke bike. What a fucking din. |

You could probably get him an ASBO if you really wanted to................................
They way I see it, it's not the noise that's the problem it's the fact it's at inapproriate times/places.
It's probably better if you try and talk to him on his own and treat him like an adult even if he isn't acting like one. That way he won't try and show off in front of his crew. I'm sure he'll be pretty reasonable about it.
You could just punch him in the face next time you see him. His threats were do with if anything happens to his car, not him.  ____________________ My Flickr |

It's just the fact he went after them that makes me laugh.
What if it was a bunch of kids on rs125's and other 2 stroke bikes.
They are annoying as hell at night you can here them miles off.
Goose seems like a guy who likes to have fun, but yet he is talking about ruining all these kids have to do. ____________________ ◙◙► K6 GSXR 600 ◄◙◙◙◙► K5 GSXR 1000 ◄◙◙◙◙► K5 GSXR 600 ◄◙◙◙◙► 96 RF600r ◄◙◙

I'm a 2smoker but wouldn't dream of obsessively pissing anyone by going through a small sleepy village screaming the nuts off I knock into a higher gear, and cruise through. Sounds to me like they've nowt else to do and do it that late cos they have the roads to themselves meaning loads more fun. You've warned him, next time it happens put some screws and nails behind his wheels on his drive  ____________________ Roger wrote: Women don't get damp for clingy puppies.

Well having lived in london all my life traffic noise has blended in with the background, having moved out to the suburbs for uni now when i hear a bike in the distance caning it or passing me i think
"Go on my son, be safe and have a good one" usually followed by a grin
I do think "what a wanker" when you hear a 1.2 corsa with a fuckoff exhaust, i suppose double standards...
Either way it does take the piss if hes literally going from one end of your street to the end, turning around and doing it again all night long... A couple of times i could put up with...
You got a bike just challenge him to a race, he obviously fancies himself as the next Schumacher, if you win he fucks off and finds some new roads, if he wins you fuckoff and go back to the old peoples home
EDIT:
BTW if someone followed me on a late night blast and blocked me in somehow then ran at me... Well lets just say i hope they got a good dentist /keyboard warrior.
How did you expect him to react when you have done that? |
