Jezz Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 There was something on the o/s of my Supra and I couldn't quite figure out what it was. It looked Romanian, and on first impressions looked to have turned ANTI-CLOCKWISE on to a major roundabout, then exited into my entry slip. On closer inspection something came out of it and made a noise. Sounded like it asked 'Wrong way?'. But then it disappeared. I had actually stopped as I discovered it coming toward me, but for some unknown reason it just kept coming down my o/s. I can only assume it was attracted to the paintwork. It left some strange marks, and caused me to kerb my n/s wheels, so I called 999 who told ME to chase this strange truck shaped object as there was no officers blah blah.... Now, to me that sounded like permission from the police to drive like a policeman. After about 7 seconds I eventually caught up with it about 4 miles later. It was now pulled over in a layby. The strange noise happened again. 'Not me, I not know this car, bye bye'. So I asked for its details only to be ignored, and it drove off. I was still on the phone to the nice useless operator throughout, who was not interested in the slightest in the dangerous driving, failing to stop, refusing to give details. Summary. The police don't care about dangerous driving if the driver is Romanian. 'Its a lot of resources to chase them up'. Luckily, I managed to get some pictures, and have now escalated it. Get dash cams people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra-love Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Really feel for you and the Supe mate. Really hope this all has a good ending. Also hope the police actually do their job here and get things resolved for you and the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezz Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 SV is the prefix for vehicles registered in Suceava county very north of the country, not that it helps I guess. Way ahead of you mate. Went up to the distribution centre it had pulled out from. They gave me his full manifest, drivers name, company name etc... Passed it all on to the Feds. I'm not fussed about the damage. Most of it was just plastic from his wheel arches and it just rubbed off, a small round dent by the o/s/r hockey stick that will push out, and one kerbed wheel where I had to take evasive action as he drove off (if I hadn't, he'd have gone right over the bonnet!) I'm more concerned with the lack of police interest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're very calm about all this, personally I would of chased after it and raped the driver to teach them a lesson they will never forget...... saying that he would of outrun my NA. Being serious though, I went to pick up a kayak last Saturday and some idiot drove out of the services through a no entry sign..... wtf is wrong with people.

supra joe Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Due to the lack of respect and ignorance from the other driver... I'd of taken his head clean off his shoulders. But that's just me lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I've had to force a truck to stop before, it wasn't funny, had the A14 doing about 5mph. Police turned up fairly quick and had already stopped him for being on his phone , was a good job all he did was take a wing mirror off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra2jze Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 This sounds FU**** UP but yeah as above hope you get this resolved, sorry to hear. Must have been one lazy ass copper not to cooperate in those circumstances. Was the Lorry Driver Piss** out his head by chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
