Went southend tonight. Then we went lakeside. A Skyline was drifting around a round about. And on its way out. The police just pulled in front of him.

Whoops

If the copper pulled out on him on a roundabout junction how did it end up being a corner to corner???

Did he get dragged out car and body slammed on the bonnet before being cuffed???

The skyline drifted out of the round about. and the police to coming down the opposite side of the road. So pull in front of him.

I guess technically its his fault for drifting as had he been in proper control of his vehicle he would have been able to brake in time!!

petey.

yeah im with botters id hate to own one of the worlds most technologically groundbreaking cars, known for breaking boundaries and records at a fraction of the cost of the cars that set them. utter shit them.

The police will call it a tactical stop and the skyline owner will of course be at fault and they will throw the book at him with any thing they can get away with

were the roads wet,he might have been trying to correct a skid ,so id say its the polices fault,
the skyline looks damaged beyond repair so it should be scrapped ,with the rest of them


cheers james

rallycross

maybe he was delivering a takeaway, hence being in a hurry (officer) and that might also explain the stupid paint job

trevorcossie

i saw it i was behind the skyline at the time in a shitty blue mini....absolute joke it was .he had already stopped drifting and was driving away from the roundabout when it happened

Datsun owner won't count this among his favourite weekends.

I know we all drive like knobs sometimes, but what do u expect when u turn up at a place renound for boy-racers driving like knobs and there not being a night go by without an accident then drive like a knob and get pulled?? Agreed tbe way they stopped the car was excessive, but if the skyline wasnt speeding/drifting he would of stopped in time anyway....

Did Trevorcossie not just say he had already stopped drifting and started to drive away?

Adam.

so after doing a illegal manouver around a roundabout you automaticly think he will potter off doing 10 mph when leaving~? i expect he boosted off the roundabout, police saw him doing it and thought "Youll do!"

I agree!

i just dont like police so im on the skylines side lol.

Adam.

Agreed on that mate!

TurboShed

That the police caused the accident, I don't think anyone here is disputing. But you only have to LOOK at that car (the Skyline) and you get some idea of the mentality of the driver...

dont like coppers much either but they placed there car in front of the skyline (i think thats what is is under the stupid stickers ) to prevent him from doing a runner ,

Mr RS500

And Jap car owners wonder why they get stick when they drive around in cars with shit like that stuck all over them ,lol

Having said that he will probs think my Caltex 500 looks stupid , lol

Csm

Why wasnt the driver drifting on a race track or on private land ?


Give me a police range rover or disco and id be right up his fuckin bonnet

tabetha

It begs the age old question, why can't authorities find a space where this sort of thing can go on, with people understanding it's their own risk, it gets it off the street that way.

From what i can understand the police basiclly were doing their job, what would you all be saying if the skyline drifted round the roundabout and crashed into your nan minding her own business in her little fiesta? The liner owner is obviously a knobhead to be doing that on a public roundabout and its people like that who get car entusiasts all tarred with the shitty stick.

id ask what my nan was doing on southend seafront at that time when everyone in the area knows it becomes a car show.

My nans not into cars anyway she would be at bingo.

Dlatch!

he deserves a pull for the graphics alone

Who's going to pay for it and who's going to accept liability when someone gets hurt? There's no such thing these days as 'at your own risk' - the ambulance chasers have seen to that!!! There's always somebody to blame, and no-one wants to be that somebody.

The police tried to work with 'cruisers' and helped stage Weston Wheels. It was clear that what the police wanted and what the cruisers wanted were completely different things.

i was up at the bus at lakeside and heard about this,what a tit lol

Rhys

Serves him right for drifting on roundabout! Prob done it to stop him anyhow.

Mrs T

is that like when its at basildon more on a industrial park??

timrud

What a muppet for basically drifting int othe coppers

Biggest spoon of the year goes to him, I hope they do throw the book at him!!

XRdodgybird

Would that make any difference?

kosman

he might have been doing wrong but i dont think the coppers needed to smash in to him,just blocking him would have been okay,unless it was totally unavoidable,liner driver wants to be getting ambulance chasers to sue piggys up

Mrs T

no but im trying to work out where it is as im quite local to it but havent a clue where it is hence asking a question!

BazW

agreed....that's why I gave up on going to things like this ages ago. You either get the cock in a scooby that wants to race everyone or a 17 year old in his mums clio flying round with McDonalds trays under his back wheels

Then they wonder why it's crawling with coppers
