Seeing an idiot get their just desserts
Discussion
was driving down a 40 limit road last year and in the distance i could see a police speed trap so kept my speed at 40, had a guy right behind swerving and seeming to be extremely annoyed at me doing this speed, he ended up overtaking at some speed and kept accelerating until he at last noticed the police camera van and screeched his brakes, smoke coming from the tyres but was way too late. that made me smile that did

when i was about 15 i went for a weekend away in newquay with my Dad, we were sat outside a pub in the centre of town (think it was called The Central?) and there were some morons that kept racing past the pub in their crap cars with even worse music hoofing out as they repeatedly let all of us sat outside the pub that they thought we were excessevie masturbators (i was 15, they were right)
after about 15 laps one of the cretins in a Suzuki vitara packed with 5 of his mates spots some of his non driving goon mates outside the pub so pulls up to speak to them, they then hammer out some more music, give everyone some more abuse, rev the engine repetitively before setting off at high speed...........in reverse straight into a lampost, the 4 guys in the back fall out onto floor, two looking quite injured, the back of the vitara is smashed. the driver leaves his mates on the floor and speeds off. The cheers of celebration from the people outside the pub were like if England won the world cup, or maybe just scored a goal, or got a corner, anyway people were happy

I know The Central well (live in Kent, but many late-teens holidays to Newquay!); that has put a massive smile on my face after about 15 laps one of the cretins in a Suzuki vitara packed with 5 of his mates spots some of his non driving goon mates outside the pub so pulls up to speak to them, they then hammer out some more music, give everyone some more abuse, rev the engine repetitively before setting off at high speed...........in reverse straight into a lampost, the 4 guys in the back fall out onto floor, two looking quite injured, the back of the vitara is smashed. the driver leaves his mates on the floor and speeds off.

An idiot (me) once rode a motorbike past some girls waiting at a bus stop and was 'checking them out' despite them being uninterested.
The idiot then rode into the back of an Escort and ended up on the road while the girls laughed and the Escort driver leaned over me to ask what I was playing at.

I didn't think he is going to have an accident, but some muppet in a Rover 25, might have been an MG ZR, not sure, leaving our close way to fast for the fresh fall of snow. I was doing ~10mph, he was probably nearer double that, tried to turn off the main road out of the village on a side road, slide into the kerb and smashed an alloy.
I chuckled.

I buckled an alloy by leaning out of the drivers window of my MG ZR looking down to check out how cool my neon ground kit looked lighting up the freshly fallen snow. Saw the corner coming too late and too fast and understeered straight into the curb with a massive bang. Sheer luck there was no parked car to collide with.
My mate, doing the same on the other side of the car, hadn't seen it coming either.
I kind of wish I had it on video.

...how was the wagon driver supposed to avoid "undertaking" plod? Coming to a complete halt on a live motorway at night without there being any apparent reason would be extremely dangerous. Beside which, there was no 'passing except upon the right hand side' involved, as the wagon never once strayed from lane 1. The only thing I think plod might have had reason to pull him for would be the phone use, but I'd imagine it was hands free anyway. As far as can be seen from that video, the trucker is making safe progress within his own lane, and at no time does the Police car appear to request him to stop. So I'm sorry, av185, but I can't see any reason for 'pulling' the truck driver who's dashcam caught the footage. Remedial driving tuition required for you, I'm afraid

I agree, and whilst perfectly possible, there was little reason for Plod to 'pull' the swearing Yorkshireman.....in the circumstances he drove reasonably...but this doesn t prevent it from being funny if he was 'pulled' especially having regard to the excessive level of abuse aimed at the clear knobbishness of the car driver.....
Driving on a DC through the local town in my astra VXR. Speed limit is 40 and i was doing 40. I see a guy in an old 911 wanting to pull out of a side turning onto the DC so i move into lane 2 and flash him to allow him to come out.
For some reason he floors it out of the turning (to catch up with me so he could be level to say i didn't need you to move over?) but overcooks it, goes completely sideways and violently snaps his rear wheel on the central reservation.
I go to the roundabout, do a 180, back down the other side, then 180 at the next so i am now coming back up behind him.
There he is, outside the car looking at his shattered rear wheel. I bibbed as i drove past slowly and he seemed quite angry heh.
i shouldn't lol but it still makes me chuckle.

On an early morning airport run from Devon to London, I decided on the 303 being the better route. I wasn't hanging about at all, but got overtaken by some kid in a Civic Type R. It was a shonky overtake made at pointless speed by a driver with absolutely no talent. I said so much to my passenger and professed that he'd stack it before too long. Lo and behold, we come to a nasty, off camber, downhill, 120° right hander which is partially blocked by... You guessed it, a badly mangled Type R.
Bloke was a total cocksprocket.

Last winter I bought a 4x4 camper van and took the missus off exploring US ski areas. One morning we were on a very long empty straight road in Montana. It was epic blizzard conditions, -10c and 3 inches of snow fallen on a road already ploughed that day. Despite having a long way to drive I felt 35 ish was as fast as was willing to go bearing in mind the terrible vis and exceptionally low grip even with 35" offroad tyres.
I've heard of pimping your ride but 
Back in the nineties I had a somewhat boyed up mk1 Fiesta. I was driving through an estate in my local town having just dropped a mate off when this mk1 Escort comes screaming up behind me and overtakes at about 50.
Just outside town I spot the same car jammed sideways across a dead end lane. I assume matey has attempted a handbrake turn and got stuck. The icing on the cake is that his female passenger is walking away from the car, shaking her head.

Yes, sadly.Anyone actually been right?
Young lad in a tatty, slightly chavved Seat Leon was frequently spotted driving like an utter
. Tearing around town and carrying out suicidal overtakes on the faster roads locally.One morning one of the main roads is closed, I have to take a fairly windy route to work. My boss arrives a little after me, and he has a look on the local news site. Road closed due to a serious crash. Grey Seat Leon. Driver killed.
The guy was a grade A clown behind the wheel, true, but he didn't deserve to die. Just fortunate nobody else was hurt.
I had a right roasting on Boxing Day from PC plod a couple of years for being out and driving in snow in my car- he was an obnoxious little sod and accused me of all sorts of things (putting others in danger, wasting police time, being the wrong "sort" etc etc)
I was in an off road prepped landcruiser with a winch and snow chains and a LOT suitable kit- I could have been stuck in the snow for a week and lived quite happily.
He roared off in his skoda,
I pulled him out of a ditch five minutes later and never said a word

Going back a few years now and me and the OH are bombing back from a friends place near Compiegne and were "making progress" on lovely fast roads. Some French geezer took extreme umbrage at being passed abd proceeded to start trying to race us in his Renault 25 Turbo. He must have got up to some insane speeds as he couldn't get past other vehicles as well so went bonkers on the straights. Nearing the motorway junction at Roye I mistakenly went straight on at a roundabout instead of left. A couple of minutes down the road we did a U turn, went back to the roundabout and went the right way.
You guessed it: a few hundred metres up the road and there was Renault 25 man pulled over at the side of the road surrounded by police and flashing lights. Laugh? Just a bit.

Yeah, if you know the road, you know that bend. It was a righty for him (and me), so I guess he'd given it the beans down the hill and just not had the brakes come crunch time (if you'll excuse the pun).Simon.
I was dreading the local village tearaway getting his licence, and was proved right he ragged his Saxo everywhere, within three months of him passing his test he decided to pick a fight with one of Yorkshire's finest dry stone walls.
His brother didn't learn from this and a year later he decided to fatally head butt a double decker bus, after taking the racing line.

I've had this happen twice in the last two weeks!?
1. Young'ish (20-30 yo) lad in a nice looking Mini Cooper. Cooper S wheels, paintey bits, obviously a much loved car. Blue, white roof special edition I think.
I'm just bimbling along in the Renault and catch him up as he turns off. He tears off down a road I know very well, I give chase but very quickly back off as he starts violently yanking the steering wheel and stabbing the brakes like some kind of mental patient. He didn't manage to break the 40mph limit before he yanked and stabbed his way into some oversteer. To counter this he hit the brakes and froze perorming a lovely 180 degree spin straight over the curb and into a bush. I stopped to see if was ok and left him to it.
I just hope he learned a lesson this time.
SMOOTH you tool. Don't yank it. It ain't ya dick.
2. Teen lad + friends Mk5 Fiesta Tdci
Burgess Hill ring road, Sunday evening, damp and drizzly.
Taking a series of roundabouts on a 40mph A road, I see his lights come up behind me obviously taking the roundabouts fairly quick. At first I just carried on, I've nothing to prove and I'm in my Fiat (all 54Bhp of raw mayhem).
After 2 roundabouts he's caught me and, against my better judgement, I didn't brake for the next roundabout (Seicentos 'do' corners quite well) I exited the roundabout ~35mph. In my rear view I see him exit the roundabout sideways( drift Yo.), no doubt caught out by the mountainous torque of the 1.4 Fiesta or ill advised 'watch this' handbrake tug, unfortunately he lifted off, which speared him into a traffic island.
Dented pride only I think.
I did laugh to myself. A lot.

That was very charitable of you, I'd have left him there. I was in an off road prepped landcruiser with a winch and snow chains and a LOT suitable kit- I could have been stuck in the snow for a week and lived quite happily.

After telling him that if he hadn't been such a cock five minutes previously I'd have rescued him
