So the other day I was in my van, waiting at a light to turn right at a junction. I noticed two young men approaching on bikes wearing black, no helmets, face masked. I then noticed one was on a Suron and using the old push the other bike - which was a superbike. Safe to assume both bikes were stolen. My light changed and I began to turn in front of the two kids - who did not slow down and started to run through their red light into my path. In a moment I had the perfect opportunity to hit them with my van and stop the obvious theft. At the same time damaging the stolen bike, my van, probably injuring the rider and making myself liable for dangerous driving causing harm and damage. Making insurance harder (if not impossible) for me to attain. I didn't hit them, I braked suddenly to avoid the collision. I then spent the next hour observing police zipping about the neighbourhood trying to catch them. I have been livid about this ever since. Even when we see crime taking place and have an opportunity to intervene - our best action is to do nothing.
You did the right thing. The only exeption would be if there was a danger to life. Had you skittled these fuckpigs you’d now be facing a world of pain…
I had a similar experience last week on a busy city road when I was out in the car. Two balaclava'd scrotes on a Suron came straight at me on my side of the road. My first instinct was to hit them off but, as you say, vehicle damage, scrotes damage wouldn't do me any good! Everyone is running scared and we, and plod, can't seem to do anything. Also it gets us a bad name too as bikers. We need vigilante gangs...
Fight fire with fire. We could drive a vehicle (doesn't need to be your own), add a cloned plate, wear a mask and go out hunting.
Yes, but if I did that I'd be too nice & honest to pull it off The cnuts who cut the cat off my car were driving a stolen car... There's no risk of them and the Suron scrotes getting caught as there's no plod about. What can we do?
