| sorry about what happened but glad you are ok
i bet it has shaken your confidence too
a similar thing happened to me last year - 3 'youths' jumped out in front of my car and tried to get clipped - presumeably because i drive a lotus and they thought they would get compensation (ironic as i am a solicitor!) - i was very annoyed so jumped out of my car to 'reason' with them
as i did so a police car arrived - lady police office r on her own who insisted i got into her car to tell her what was happening
she didnt take notice of the 3 scrotes who nicked my briefcase off my passenger seat and legged it into an estate
police woman and i drive into estate to retrieve my bag and arrest youths
i spot one going into a shop so i apprehend him - he ends up in the police car being questioned
meanwhile more and more scrotes are arriving
they try force the police car open and 'rescue' the lad in the car
the mob (now about 30 strong) then surround the police car and me and start threatening with bats and sticks
at this point the policewoman says "i think we had better leave"! and legs it in her car leaving me with a baying mob about 30 strong
i get back into my car and lock the door and the mob is all over it and trying to turn it over
i set off at speed with a youth attached to my car as i have trapped his fingers in the passenger window as he tried to nick my stereo
this all happened in broad daylight at about 4pm on an estate in batley
i was ok as was the officer
never got my bag back
car was damaged
police didnt do squat presumeably because they would have come in for massive criticism
i will never get out of my car again to an incident and never chase people or succumb to road rage anymore
tbh it really knocked my confidence - i was quite happy to tackle 3 at the time but 3 turned into 30 and it was very very frightening - mobs are just horrendous  |
