The new 'happy slapping'

[Paul@125power]

This morning on the BBC news there was a report of what is called the new craze since happy slapping.

The news reports that chavs are having drag races in the streets and doing burn outs and doughnuts in car parks while others are recording on their mobile phones and then posting it on the internet as well as other stunts like driving fast towards bind summits in order to take off and see who can get the highest.

This looks to be causing a big up roar. But, why has it taken the police and government this long to get a wiff of this happening when it has been happening for years?

Any one else see it? Discuss?

Its only bad if they do it when there are other road users around, who they could crash into.


If its an abandoned car-park etc then i really dont see a problem.
(will be just the NIMBY's shouting off again)



But if its on teh public road with other motorists drving about, then the video eveidence should be used to ban them for life.

Where my parents live there's the local KFC/McD/etc. on one of the shopping estates on the edge of town. All the local chav cars meet there. Going past I've seen many illegal happening, even illegal plates on the cars. However, the police seem to ignore it.

One local told me a reason for ignoring it was that as long as they know they're in one place then they can contain it. Try and break it up and it'll just disperse and they'll waste time finding them again. I think they use the same reasoning for not clearing up where all the drug users hang out

There's nothing new about joyriding.

This is just some wank attempt by the papers to repackage it as some new phenomenon.

The useless bastards.

Why stop Darwinism? One time they'll jump accross a crest onto a corner with a lampost on it. Better they die through their own stupidity than kill someone else. And before someone says we often do stupid things...yes we do, we speed, we corner, i lie down on the bike, stand up, pull wheelies. But i'll never do it near other cars, or bystanders, i doubt they are that considerate.

the local metro link car park 11pm> is used for that , cops park nearby (on some dog tooth lines obviously) to watch , as long as they don't stray onto the road they don't give a damn.

as lon as they keep it in a abandoned car park among themselves then i dont care cause there always at that over here. its when they endanger others lives i give a shit, epecially mine.

one thing crossed my mind there quite horrifying. what if the chavs where to push bikers off their bikes!

cause i have always suspected they had that in mind here and dread driving past them . there you driving away humming to yourself in yuor lid and chavs runs from side of road and bang your off your bike on the ground injured with damage to your bike and humilated.

i hope i havent said that to loud now.
