Would you mention to a neighbour that you dont know very well that his daughters boyfriend drives like a lunatic? daughter is about 18 or 19, he must be a few years older as the car is quite expensive but still a chavy car, the demeanour of him says drug dealer to me but I could be wrong.

Do not have other things to busy yourself with?

Well this is the thing, its no skin off my nose and I don't want to be seen as an interfering old busy body but on the other hand I don't think the dad would be too impressed if he had to scoop his daughter off the road with a shovel.

We're not talking doghnuts in a maccy D's car park here, put it this way, I wouldn't get in a car with him.

I wouldn’t get involved…. Your intentions are honourable but in this day and age you will come across as a busy body. If you are asking here it’s probably you are not that close to your neighbour so I would just leave it and let Darwinist work.

Also if the guy might be involved in drugs/criminal underworld best to leave well alone.

Nope, too many links in the chain from you to your neighbour to his daughter to her boyfriend. You might as well raise concerns about any random 'bad' driver.

If I was friendly with my neighbour, yes.

Fair enough, its what I thought to be fair, no good deed goes unpunished and all that. Looks like the typical scenario of a naive young girl getting with the bad boy.

Perhaps the dad already knows? Unless he lived a very sheltered life, he probably knows what a lad this age is like.

And then there's the question what he will do with that info? It is highly unlikely his daughter will drop the guy on her father's command.

Some lessons are learnt the hard way unfortunately

Depends on how the neighbour 'looks' and whether I thought they would give a toss. Does he drive carefully around their house, but you'd seen him caning it around town and the neighbour doesn't get out much to be able to witness it? If he drives off like a nut then they probably know but don't care.

The family are pretty middle class, he works from home a lot, detached house that sort of thing, I got overtaken by the boyfriend on a blind bend as he obviously doesn't know my car and witnessed other pretty bad shenanigans on the journey home, sure enough as soon as he turned onto the road he was quiet as a mouse.

There's only 1 sensible option. Race him for pinks.

Odds on a shagged (and financed) Golf R or M140?

I'd mind my own and just be thankful it wasn't my daughter he was taking out.

Sounds like there might be more of an impact mentioning to him the manner of his driving will get himself killed.

As other say, just leave it.

Can't be a drug dealer then. Would most definitely be affording the slight premium for an R, if not more if he was...

Unless trying to be a little less obvious, but given your description, he doesn't sound the type to think along those lines.
