Insane car chase
Today I was chased over 2 miles by a couple of psychos in a silver vauxhall as they tried again and again to ram me off the road.
I've written down 2 pages for my statement which I have to write officially at the police station tomorrow. So I won't post a wall of text - I'll update as it goes. The chase ended when I got about 20 seconds in front and made it to a dealership where luckily there were 3 or 4 riding instructors, other bikers and CCTV to witness the degenerate driver. My bike is restricted until Jan so I couldn't outrun them but luckily traffic was heavy enough for me to do some "high speed filtering" and crazy overtakes to keep them at bay long enough to stay rubber side up. So whats your ideas on the best tactic to deal with a lunatic behind a tonne and a half of steel at god knows how many Mph? |

Re: Insane car chase
Did you overtake them or something? Maybe that set them off to hunt you. I've a had a chase or two when I've overtaken or filtered past someone, and had loads of abuse from the same.
Glad your ok. ****ing knob heads anyway. Drive safely and hopefully they'll crash and burn |

There were 3 or 4 of them in the car so even with full kit on fistycuffs would have been bit one sided. The problem may have arisen because I didn't know who he was as that was the first thing he asked about when he got out of the car. Last edited by Scylla; 07-11-12 at 10:41 PM. |

Re: Insane car chase
So did they stop when you pulled In at the dealers?
Sounds like they were going to jack your bike |
