Car Forum / UK Car Forums / Driving (UK group) / April 2004What would I have gotten away with?
Last night whilst driving home with one of my friends, I noticed that we were being followed by a Mondeo Estate. The bloke followed us on a rather serpentine route back to the main road, and we then turned up a cul de sac (bugger) which he eventually followed us up. The bloke got out of his car and came up to the window and asked us we were "sh.tting ourselves", and got out of our way after being told to f.ck off. We reported to the police as being drunk, as he didn't seem completely all there. If I and my friend had jumped out and twatted him one, or if I'd driven into his car to get out of the cul de sac, would we have have been in the shite for it, given that he'd obviously been following us? > Last night whilst driving home with one of my friends, I noticed that we > were being followed by a Mondeo Estate.

In these days of car-jacking, if someone is following me home, I don't actually go home (which is on a cul-de-sac) but go on a circuitous route to see if he's really following. Hasn't happened so far, but I guess if he was still following I'd drive to a police station! - Michael >> Last night whilst driving home with one of my friends, I noticed >> that we were being followed by a Mondeo Estate.

I mistook the turning I was taking and ended up in a cul de sac, which was nice. The other plan was to drive out towards the farm, only a truly dedicated nutter could keep up with me on that road ;). >>> Last night whilst driving home with one of my friends, I noticed >>> that we were being followed by a Mondeo Estate.

Couldn't you just turn around once he had got out of his car? > The other plan was to drive > out towards the farm, only a truly dedicated nutter could keep up > with me on that road ;). Hee hee, I guess there wasn't much other traffic around. If there was it would be quiet easy to lose them at a roundabout or junction. There certainly are some weird people about! >>> In these days of car-jacking, if someone is following me home, I >>> don't actually go home (which is on a cul-de-sac) but go on a [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Erratum!

I was already facing the right way to get out of the cul de sac, but it was double parked all the way up. >> The other plan was to drive >> out towards the farm, only a truly dedicated nutter could keep up [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > was it would be quiet easy to lose them at a roundabout or junction. > There certainly are some weird people about! There are. It was almost midnight, so practically bugger all traffic about. > >> Last night whilst driving home with one of my friends, I noticed > >> that we were being followed by a Mondeo Estate.

Then stay behind him, on the roundabout, until he leaves it. Leave by a different exit. > In these days of car-jacking, if someone is following me home, I don't > actually go home (which is on a cul-de-sac) but go on a circuitous route to > see if he's really following. Yes, I've been followed like that (I don't know why, other than at the time I was in a very glossy, two-days new expensive car). This was pre-mobile phone days so I couldn't call for help. It was late at night and there were few other people around. At first I thought it was paranoia, but I knew the area really well and took a drive off the dual carriageway, around some obscure roads through a country park (still with me), doubled back on myself and went back on the dual carriageway the opposite direction for one junction (still with me) came off did a 360 on the roundabout and back the way I had just been (still with me) and finally drove to the largest police station in the area and turned into their car park at which point the car following buggered off. The problem is that in situations like these you don't know *why* you are being followed nor how many of them there are in the car. SignatureHaving problems understanding usenet?

Get hold of a yellow high-visibility jacket and put it on your rear parcel shelf. >> Last night whilst driving home with one of my friends, I noticed >> that we were being followed by a Mondeo Estate.

I don't think there's a Police force in Britain that uses Kas :). I wasn't especially bothered by it as it was me and a mate in the car, and neither of us are what you'd call small. OTOH, if the bloke did the same thing to a girl driving about on her own, I imagine it'd be bloody frightening. >>> Last night whilst driving home with one of my friends, I noticed >>> that we were being followed by a Mondeo Estate.

It seems to have frightened you two big girls blouses as well FFS. Why didn't you just stop instead of running away. After all there were two of you who are not what you would call small. smicker >> I don't think there's a Police force in Britain that uses Kas :).

It's not especially difficult to end up in court or even prison from what I've heard. I'd no also no idea if it were just the driver in the car or if it was a car full of blokes, as it was night and he had his headlamps on, as it turned out he had a mate in the passenger seat too. >>> I don't think there's a Police force in Britain that uses Kas :).

That is just the opinion of Mike Dean aka Ted A Turner of the dinky car site www.theminorsite.co.uk who lives in Horncastle, Lincs and likes to make remarks about folks while pretending he is Ted Turner LOL. smicker >>>>> It seems to have frightened you two big girls blouses as well FFS. >>>>> Why didn't you just stop instead of running away.

Whilst I obviously knew, I didn't realise it was common knowledge that Ted and Mike were one and the same - well done. I've never understand how to trace people and identify socks - can you give a few pointers on how you've done it in this case - it seems to be a most useful capability?

Yes. The UK legal system only allows citizens self-defence. Your case actually goes someway to prove the validity of that. You don't appear to have been in any physical danger so "getting out and twatting him one" wouldn't be justified. Best thing to do is drive to the nearest police station.
