Ducati Sporting Club UK > General > Idle Chat > Gang warfare - do NOT flash your lights

[aws]

There is a new threat on the roads.
Some of the gangs in London have an new imitation ceremony and it goes something like this: All pile into a stolen car, at dusk / dark.
Do not put the lights on.
The first person in their car / bike / van / lorry / whatever who flashes you to let you know you've forgotten to put your lights on gets one round from a weapon of your choice into the flashing vehicle.
Strange eh?

Yeah right! You hear this all the time on the news don't you...

"Helpful motorists topped in gratuitous gangland killing spree"

You've been watching too much Tarantino mate

I was recntly told a story by a good friend...about a friend of his ( I can hear you now...yeah yeah!)...but I have absolutely no reason not to believe him, the guy is totally genuine.

Driving back from Devon late one night, he lives in Bristol. Just as they were approaching Bristol on the M5(?), roadworks forced 3 lanes into 2, 2 into 1. Usual story...people cutting in at the last minute etc...accept he was having none of it and straddled both lanes so no one could get past him.

Car comes flying up behind, lights flashing etc...eventually after quite some time, friend moves over, feeling a little intimidated...and car pulls in front. Few hundred yards up the road after roadworks...flashing car pulls into left hand lane and friend drives past...at which point driver of flashing car calm as you like, pulls out a handgun and shoots at friends car

As you can imagine...the guy couldn't quite believe what just happened.

Anyway...sure enough, when he got home, there was a bullet lodged in the door pillar of his car...!

The original posting may seem a little hollywood, but don't be so blinkered as to think that ****s like that aren't out and about looking to prove a point

My advice...STAY INDOORS!:P

He should have reversed and run the guy over, while ducking down behind the seat! Much more hollywood!

Hey...I watched Bad Boys last night...so it must be real!!!

Only after running away from a building that's just blown up and then rolling over the bonnet of his car whilst reaching for the uzi that's hidden in his sock whilst at the same time pushing the little kiddie that's just run in to the road to safety.

That's what I would have done in the same situation.
