Gang warfare - do NOT flash your lights
 

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?

aws

Nice touch.

who are they imitating...grand theft auto 3???:lol:

Noones falling for this BS are they?! :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Nope.

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

Well...
 

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:o

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! :lol:

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

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.

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

This Kind of thing started in South Africa 5-6 Years ago be careful

You saying, what i see in hollywood films are not real life?

This warning was issed to the London Ambulace Service yesterday.

So you're the git that blinds me on the way home every night:devil::lol:

He hasn't had an accident but he's seen hundreds.

Hi, I belong to Kwikbitch!! This is not new and it is true! not sure about weapons though. London does tend to be abit far up to date than us up here in Nottingham. I did once point towards a car with it's lights out in Town and it swurved and headed for me!! it didn't mount the kerb but sure meant to scare me.

The second was about 3-4 years ago a scooter was going down a hill and a car pulled out infront of the two guy's on the scooter. The car drove very slowly so the scooter overtook!! mistake!! the car swurved and made them swurved and they nearly came off. They stopped at the other side of the kerb kind of shook up. The car then backed up with the guy chanting at them then accelerated and smashed into their scooter. They got thrown against some house wall and the scooter in pieces!! the driver of the red cavalier drove off laughing down the road.

Broad daylight Saturday afternoon on a hot day. Loads of people saw. It happened 100m away from St.Anns police station (manned at the time) my auntie took the lads to the station with the discription. The guy that did it lives the otherside of the chase near sycamore school i believe.

Their prefered cars tend to be Cavaliers 2.0l 16v with blacked out windows. Cheap and disposable they'll hit you for a laugh then dump the car and torch. They also switch to pool cars on the run (cars placed strategically). Why pay for a gun when they can kill in a car and it isn't classed as a deadly weapon and the chance of getting done for death by wreckless driving is small. I suppose it's also is more fun since they get to drive and play that game 2000 thing 10 points for a granny!! how cool is that!! They won't nick yer bike cus they can't change gears!!

Received an e mail at work today about this, with a slightly more disturbing bit added on ( if you are a girlie anyhow )

The extra bit was about a woman who filled up with fuel and paid at the pump for the fuel, as she was about to leave the attendant spoke over the tannoy telling her that there was a problem with her transaction and that she must go into the shop. She tried to argue with the attendant but he insisted she went into the shop or that ' there will be trouble '

She went into the shop and was told that whilst she was paying for the fuel, a man had sneaked into the back of her car, and was hiding on the back seat.

This is seen to be another gang initiation thing, whereby the new member must kidnap / hi-jack a car and woman together !

Scary thought really.

Then the logical side of me woke up...

There is now way on this earth that anybody could sneak in the back of my car if I was paying for fuel at the pump.... you would hear your door slamming or something, surely ?????

Still, it's food for thought, and also a very good reason to make sure that you lock your car at all times !
