Derek FKS 85 Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 I'm at he point of throwing a large boulder under the next Impreza I hear doing mental speeds down Craigentinny Avenue. Some nutters are doing around 70mph down past my house in a 30 limit. I have 2 young daughters and if one of them runs out on the road I will never see them grow up. 1 because they will be killed instantly and 2 because I will be in jail for murder, and I would. WHO EVER IT IS WILL YOU BLOODY WELL GROW UP.
ScoobyAndy Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 wuite right mate, theres no need for ANY driver no matter WHO they are and WHAT they drive to be doing speeds like that. whats it going to take to slow them down??
st3ph3n Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 Setup a webcam, get their plates and record them speeding then let the boys in blue see it. Speeding in a built up area is utterly indefensible.
Gumball Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 whats the point? these morons are giving subaru drivers a bad name. fair enough, i hear that some people give it big licks in the countryside B roads where its a national speed limit... but anything more than 30 in a 30 etc etc is lunacy.
darryll Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 police always on that rd aswell been pulled 4 times there myself not for speeding but for scooby noise police says cant u stick to main roads to stop complaints hmmmmmmm.
RS Grant Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 Speedin in built up area isnt on IMO.... book should be thrown at people convicted of doing so. Cheers, Grant
billyboy Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 Arse$$lse.Get the reggy numbers and get the cops to deal with it.After all they are giving us a bad name.
Derek FKS 85 Posted July 31, 2005 Author Posted July 31, 2005 Trouble is my lounge is at the back and by the time I get out the front they have gone. I'll have them though. They woke my 3 year old last night at 2 in the morning. Next step's the 10" boulder to take the sump out. Watch me. This is really p1$$1ng me off now.
frank c Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 Totally agree Derek, It's the same down Musselburgh High Street, here them flying down the street till all hours in the morning.... As usual nothing will happen until somebody gets hurt.. Frank
CAZ1562 Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 Sympathy for ya Derek, IIRC this isn't the first time you've had this sort of hassle.
dougster Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 Speak to your local councillor who will take up the matter with the police.
Derek FKS 85 Posted July 31, 2005 Author Posted July 31, 2005 I am going to speak to my councillor, I would like a speed camera at each end of the road. I may be wrong but is that not what they are for? Or is there no chance of making any money from them there? I'm going to get the neighbours together too and petition for speed bumps. 2' high ones that rip out sumps!
imprezapete Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 << Totally agree Derek, It's the same down Musselburgh High Street, here them flying down the street till all hours in the morning.... As usual nothing will happen until somebody gets hurt.. Frank >> Know what you mean, I see loads at night if I'm getting Optimax at the shell station before heading home Stoneybank. Saw a few doing a stupid trick where they bypass the lights by coming into the station and out the exit.
jasonb Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 Everyone has a bit of fun in there cars but its not on in a built up area
chesney Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 Get a big rag doll and chuck it in front of them next time. That'll scare the sh1t out them and maybe make them realise how easily it could have been a kid running out onto the road. I know for a fact if anyone hit my kid due to reckless driving they'd be beaten to a pulp. Try get their numbers and report them. I had some muppet try to run me off the road a few months ago and went to the Poilce to report them and as I had a witness I could have got them done for dangerous driving. Was an extreme case and it had to be done and completely unprovoked too, guy was a full on headcase. Just asked for him to be given a warning and logged on the Police records.
JamesF Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 I know what you mean Derek. I stay on Loaning Road and I hear Scooby's flying along Craigentinny Road all night. I've got those very speed humps in my street and it certainly put a stop to cars flying up and down my street, although I really hate them.
Derek FKS 85 Posted August 2, 2005 Author Posted August 2, 2005 I'm going to get the neighbours to sign a petition to have speed bumps fitted. I hate them too but someone is going to be killed.
willie Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 Good on you Derek. I am no fan of speed cameras but the number of cars that put the foot down in dalry road past the shell garage every night is scary. Some of them are scoobs but a lot of them are novas and the like. Mr Plod wants to sit in the forcourt at the shell garage I am sure he would do good business.
JamesF Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 that's a bit of a main thoroughfair into town so most of the Livicruise brigade will come in through that road.
