I'm such a git!

[chris8886]

just been out for quick spin to get the new oil i've just put in sloshing around the engine etc. on my way back on the roundabout for j19 m25 (which has lights on one part), the car i'm following just goes straight through the red light! i couldn't believe it, thankfully there were no cars coming onto the roundabout so, no one got hurt and there was no near miss. so i catch up with him at the next set of lights and tap on his window. the guy (with 2 passengers) was completely oblivious and just said "oh s**t did i?" i couldn't believe what a muppet he was.

riding down my road (just round the corner from where i saw him last) i see a police car, flag him down and tell them what happened and the reg, model and colour of car. they went off on a little search. i do hope they find him because he was a muppet driver, yet i also feel quite bad for being so spiteful and dobbing him in.

the streets are now a safer place. Well done

people who jumps lights and know they did it but felt it was "safe" to do are no way near as bad as idiots who have no idea there is a red light there in the first place.

I dont think the cops would be able to do much about it other than have some words with him so dont worry yourself too much, its not like you just got him a big fat fine and points and perhaps it'll be what he needs to wake the hell up and start noticing red lights.

ya would have been glad of someone else doing it if you were comeing the other way on the roundabout

Is no one allowed to make a mistake anymore??? perhaps as it was a roundabout he subconsciously treated it as one? Perhaps if something had been coming he would not have gone onto the roundabout? Just a thought.

And of course stick a breath test in his mouth?

When I read the first post I thought 'er... what have you achieved'...

But RH makes a good point.

he was already on the roundabout. it's fast roundabout with a speed limit of 50 (people don't really do 50 on it, but they do enter onto it fast when the lights are green).
