BAZ Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 This was shown on the BBC news yesterday. Keep your eyes open and don't get caught out, remember, it's a jungle out there! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-23717575 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tweedledum Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 There has also been "The Dash For Cash", cars with brakelights removed, which then come to an abrupt stop. Leaving you little chance to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peepshow Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 These scum target women with children and the elderly. When they are caught, if ever, they get a bout 5 years and are let out in 2 1/2 years. Disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al.Grant Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Not for the first time I'm considering a dashboard cam (or front & rear). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Technically a flash of the headlights does not mean "after you", it means "beware, I am here". I will typically give way in a tight situation rather than risk a collision, it's just the safest way. (unless I'm already committed to the maneuver) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 There will probably be a countermovement now, where people who pull out and get hit by the oncoming vehicle will say that they were flashed to pull out, as a defence, but as we know, the emerging vehicle is generally at fault.

Guest Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Knowing my luck it will happen the day after I've paid for my MoT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Better it happen when your car has an MOT, than when it doesn't! James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Knowing my luck it will happen the day after I've paid for my MoT. Don't jinx it. I put a car through an MOT only for it to be torched a day later by vandals. I got £100 in compensation, having just spent £350 on the MOT. Worst luck ever! Thankfully I now live in a nice area where such things are very rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 The guy that used to own it, the drummer from Mud, has now sold it.
