Car full of youths swearing

tardington

Phew! Just came home from work in the fog, and a car full of kids pulled out in front of me. I looked a bit startled and (maybe) pissed off as I was tired, but slowed and didn't say anything. Cue a slow overtake with one of them shouting various insults - he looked pretty confused when I just looked at him. I haven't heard the word faggot in a while though. The kids these days!

Was slightly more concerned when they just went of pretty slowly (it was pretty foggy though) and they were waiting at the next set of lights. I was pretty angry though, so just waited back up the road a bit til they'd gone. Not had this happen ever before, except once years back. If there hadn't been four of them I guess I wouldn't have been so worrying...

They were young lads, in a silver merc thing. I took the reg number FV56 NNO, is there somewhere I can look up who's it is? I reckon they were out in they're dads... I'd like to put a nice wee letter through a door if possible. That's all!

Ah, a quick go found www.mycarcheck.com, but they want me to pay! Nah. Got the car type confirmed though!

Well, the next day I think I wasn't in any real danger, but I'm still a bit pissed off. Police say I should come into a station and fill in an incident form, which I guess I'll do.

Darn kids!

You are right there!

(btw said incident was at 10pm at Lucas in Morningside and bruntsfield - just so you know)

This morning better I thought. I am starting to love the traffic-stopping road works. Ah, the joy of whizzing past all the stopped cars 8)

I heard of a website called better driving please. You could always give them a write-up if you felt like it.

They called you a faggott, and they are driving around in a Mercedes C160 AUTO - oh the irony of it. And alas, these 'people' are the future of the country.

I always feel like saying "I bet you make your parents proud" or 'What an asset to society you clearly are, thankyou for your contribution' I expect they couldn't understand such English though.

A Mercedes, urrgh, please.

I’d definitely do the reporting.

These are usually out in mummys car &/or on mummys insurance.

Although they can act tough in their groups, I hope they generally don’t like Mum & Dad finding out they’ve been acting like prats in their car or jeopardising the ‘no claims’.

Especially when that’s because plod’s parked the panda outside and come knocking at their door to ‘have a word’

I don't think you can find out who owns the car legally, except by reporting the incident to the police, etc., I must say that I have experienced the same sort of thing, and it can be quite disconcerting, especially when numbers are involved. Sadly today, it's a question of respect, kids who are bored ( not that, that is any excuse ), and the fact that these reprobates can and do get away with their anti-social everyday. The police, the courts, parents, in fact everyone who should be concerned are completely ineffectual, and worse it is getting, where do we go from here? Maddeningly, it seems for the worse, all we are able to do is bite our lips.

You can obtain the owner's details from the DVLA if you have just cause (i.e. "hit and run") for a small fee (I'm not sure how much this is). I don't know, however, if the OP's situation would consitute just cause, but then it is a government department and you know how careful they are with the public's details! :twisted:

Options;

1. discharge water bottle in open window (hindsight)
2. let it go and be thankful that you weren't treated to a half full can of Irn Bru
3. report to the police that you think the car might be stolen as you saw it being driven erratically by youths in low visibility conditions
4. Think of somethign incredibly witty to say, for example about balls dropping, or bed time (also hindsight)

In general, remember that consequential thinking takes a while to develop in teenagers. (In commercial van drivers, it never develops at all.) Assume the worst, go for option 2.

Did you never travel on a school bus?
Oh the abuse we use do give anything the bus passed.

Faggot? Heavy Smoker on a bike?
Oh the American meaning.

Reminds me of Clarkson discovering his wonderful new Merc was 2nd in the Gay times Gayest cars list.

3. report to the police that you think the car might be stolen as you saw it being driven erratically by youths in low visibility conditions


This sounds like just the ticket for the little blighters, mummy and daddy sure to get a call nice work :twisted: :
