Caught Drifting......

[Karan]

oh my god, i just read this Dave, sorry to hear this.....



ive been takin it pretty easy recently anyway as i cant afford the fuel costs!!!

glad u got out of it though, and i guess u did the right thing by just admitting to it. not being a chav also helps-(damn i better get some new clothes-lol)

take it easy fella- and yes the track is the best place to do it!, or late at night and NOT in a city like brighton!

i daren't mess around in bristol as there's pork everywhere here!!! where i live in cheshunt though there arent many around!

drive safe dude
i know how tempting lsd's can be

I carry it all with me!

If the car gets nicked, it goes, fairy nuff, but if you get tugged, it can do you good to display your docs. in my experience.

Plus it saves the hassle of a HORT1 (producer!)

Does no-one else carry all their docs.?!!

HELL NO MATE!!!! If someone nicked my car i'd be fukked! I may make a photocopy of them all though and hide them under the carpet in the boot or somewhere equally silly. As you rightly said, it may bail you out one day! Im not being funny dave, but the copper probably shat himself when he saw the size of you! Your not exactly short or skinny are you? (i bet nobody starts fights with you when you go out!)

[bryang]

It is a wise idea to carry some proof of ownership with you, can save you from a producer or worse!

Being a biker and roundabout surfer I always carry mine , as do my friends..Quite a common event to be stopped for "a chat"

I believe some new law or act came into force last year enabling the police to confiscate your vehicle for silly things like wheelying, knee down and in your case, perhaps drifting, comes under the banner causing a nuisance with your vehicle and not in proper control I think

I wouldnt be suprised, as i said to him the other day, he's the only person i've ever known who makes me feel small... And Im 6' 4" and about 13.5 stone!

This is exactly it, it is under section 59 - Anti-Social Driving.

Wankers!

Should be re named "Exceptional Driving Control" and 3 points should be ADDED in so you can use them against any future convictions

[Toby_Unna]

dave i carry all mine in the car too, much less hassle and like you say i'm sure it can work in your favour, it answers a lot of questions immediately...

like when i got pulled in my 528i doing something similar to my sig pic, they thought it 'was a stolen car or something'.

i told them the back just let go on the roundabout, they told me i should 'get my suspension checked'. i nearly burst out laughing but got away with it.

I was considering that! But I thought against it in the circumstances...

Bryang....I totally agree, I should have exceptional driving skill points added for sure

[Toby_Unna]

no i think you did the right thing, i was very surprised these guys even saw me as i'm usually pretty careful about sliding if i can see other cars. i can't think they got too good a look as the only caught up with me once i was off the roundabout and in a straight line again!

[Karan]

Dave.... was the policewoman tasty..... nothing like a laydee in uniform is there

[320Touring]

Karan-you're mental

just remeber that those laydee's in uniform are the ones who wanna stop your 2.7 litres of fun

sodding fascists

[Karan]

oh yeh thanks for putting it into perspective...

Karan

[Demlotcrew]

Does no-one else carry all their docs.?!!

nope

[Davenotouring]

No.....

Dave.... was this policewoman tasty.....

No.....

[Karan]

LOL at ure sig Dave!!

was it wet by the way... if it was dry i suspect u were going pretty quick too

[Davenotouring]

It was wet mate,

Wasn't pacing it or anything, she just didn't like it, probably cos she couldn't do it in the Zaffy!

Picture a Brighton living, female policewoman, who is a dog handler.

She looked a bit like this.....

Now post a pic of the dog handler

Funny I had the arse out in my zaffy this morning thanks to a snowy roundabout

Bet the dog handler didn't spot you though...

[SCOTT325SE]

LOL @ Daves sig too... only for him, LSD stands for Life Sentenced for Driving!

[325iSportMark]

The Rozzers definately judge you by your car, I've got away with all sorts of stuff in my company cars (Focus's and C-Max's), speeding, fogs on, general tooling around, which I know I would definately have got pulled for in my 325.

When I first got it I got pulled a few times for a 'spot check' when I wasn't doing anything naughty at all.

[Richy325iTouring]

She full of shit with the crushing you car
sorry if it been said but i aint read the whole thread yet

under the police reform act you get a couple of warnings and if your given a few for stupid driving i think its three then your car will be impounded (or whoevers car you caught in ) and you will have to pay a release fee plus the storage costs etc

they been trying it on with us at cruises for a while now but its all just scare tactics

[Lordschleife]

To cut a long story short.....She eventually said, after I showed her all my docs. and was apologetic, that she'd give me the benefit of the doubt, however she would report me under section 53, which is where your details are stored, and if you get caught again within a year, they can take your car away and crush it....I have been reading up on this, and will continue tomorrow!

Similar thing happend to a mate a week back - he'd just bought an e36 m3, and had me and another mate passenger, couldnt resist doing 1 single donut on an open empty wet bit of carpark (probably not public road anyway) on the way out.
30 seconds later a bit further down the road four police cars surround us with a Sweeny style cut/block diagonally across the front
Get us all out, split us up etc etc. Anyone would have thought we'd just done a bankjob
In the end they told my mate they could impound his car etc if he did anything silly again similar to what happend to you

[Lordschleife]

With regard to incidents of Anti-Social driving, I have investigated two substantial problems. One involved a youth riding around the pathways of Goldsworth Park on a motorbike.

Put simply, if they re-offend, they will have their vehicles confiscated which they would have to pay a substantial fee otherwise their vehicles will be crushed. This seems to have mended their ways.


So are they spewing BS on their website?

Or do we have a fcukin police state?

[gareth]

i reckon you did pretty well considering. i find "new clutch officer... sorry" comes in useful. also: "that scared the shit out of me... only just bought it... used to own a fwd car"

most of all, being polite will help a lot. (even if all you want to do is call the officer an arse for bothering you while the twat who nicked your stereo gets away scot free!)

i've been pulled for lighting the rear end up round a corner in my old mk2 rs2000 (more power than my 325i and only 850kg!!!). i reached full opposite lock at 7500 rpm in 2nd i managed to blag my way out of it with just a 7 day presenter. VERY lucky though!


a point to note, sometimes brighton traffic police get sent over my way (hastings) and they have a reputation for being unreasonable arses!

[amit325i]

i would just stay quiet and forget about it, remember drift when you can blame the weather the road etc etc, but not yourself or the car.

I would not carry documents with me, only thing i carry is photo card driving licence, as whenever i have been pulled, i just show that just play to be johnny mute! an angel, but make sures you cars legit first down to the tyres!!!

[Kedge]

I don't bother carrying anything anymore since i got pulled once with all my documents on me and they tried to tel me my insurance didn't match what was on there computer and so still made me produce everything. The reason they pulled me was not displaying tax, didnt' stay that calm for once as i showed them the tax disc in the window!!!!!

They still spouting shit

They will do anything to frighten us.
there still alot of controversity over this bloody police reform act.
But the fact is they cant inpound your vehicle unless you have been warned a few time and you also have to have this in writing.
A copper will do anything to make you think otherwise though.
we had loads of shit in south wales since this was introduced from being told that cos we were parked up at a cruise that we were all being given our first warning to some people being told that next time they seen in area there car will be impounded.

[Russ]

Just read this Dave. Sounds like you were very lucky!

ah well, live and learn.

btw - arent dog handling cars marked up?

[Davenotouring]

yeah mate, it was a fully liveried Vx Zafira, but it was hanging back, it was dark so I didn't notice it

Drifting with your eyes closed, what a hero!

[Davenotouring]

[shelle-smokeahama]

dave dave dave, what can i say??? did ya put on a good show, haha. you'd have thought they'd have said if it lookked phat or not. mind you i seen you drivin

with regards to this take ya car bollox, well. if it got to the situattion where they wanting to take me car, with or without the keys, i sit in and lock meself in. take me car take me in it. no way i'm lettin it out me sight. phone some1 while im in it to come get it, then i'd go wit em.

Take me but the car........ NO CHANCE!!!!

[E30Charlie]

Not alot 2 say that hasnt already been said, so why im bothering is questionable!

But nice 1 dave for getting away with it, i wont say you were stupid 2 do it as u well know i am guilty of it 2, but am seriously thinkin of changin my way since my little drama, didnt realise drifting was so expensive!

[Davenotouring]

Too right mate....can be expensive from repairs.....or caught costs and a ban.....

Not worth it really....just too tempting sometimes....


Been driving slow since though.....trying to keep it on the D-Low

[M3RAGS]

Dave,probably the worst plce to mess about thought near the palace pier as the Chavs hang round there, madiera drive way.

With regards to you carrying your documents around.....made no difference with me twice. I had just bought the M3 and got pulled twice in a week for not doing anything and I had all my docs in the car, but still received a producer.......and still had to show the documents at my local copshop.

I am down brighton this weekend, we should meet up boyo...
