Motoring Offence

rossy

Ok. I'm hoping someone can help me. So a good few years ago 2004 I was in court for a driving offence, and got done for driving with out care and attention. So I got a fine. And two or three years later I was in court and got banned for a driving offence for two years.

So Sunday morning, yesterday I was up early as I didn't sleep that night and was in a bad mood. So I came to the T junction at the main road. And a car passed, I drove up close behind them and got bored so pulled a hand brake turn behind them and then headed in the opposite direction and pulled another one and then drove off in the direction I came. So I was stopped in the village and he came back and turns out he was a garda. He took my details and said he will be in touch.

So my question is what will happen. As I have previous offences. I know what I done was wrong. Me and him were the only two on the road. So what were the chances of meeting a garda.

You ask two questions.

The second one, the probability of meeting a garda is more of a mathematics question and belongs in the Maths forum.

It's up to the garda discretion what he'll do next. Some just take details and leave it at that. If he decides to chase it up, your past certainly won't help the situation....

All you can do is wait and see what happens

Nib

5 year driving ban, hopefully.

RayM

Have you ever considered public transport? Sounds like driving isn't really for you.

GreeBo

I'd expect a ban.

You will be invited to the court. This is what will happen.

How do you know he was an off duty copper? Does he know you personally? I wouldn't have given him any personal info for an event that happened behind him. It would be different if you pulled a stunt in front of him. Tell him to take a fcukin hike. If it goes further tell the judge a back brake locked up and you needed new brake pads!!

He flashed his badge. They are not foolish enough to believe that. I wish they were.

What were you actually thinking?

Were you going to run this car off the road or looking for some reaction as you could then have a fight.

Maybe you should have learnt from your past motoring problems.

Why would you go off driving in a bad mood next time go for a walk to clear the head.

Hopefully you will learn and try and actually behave on the road.

cml387

It might have been at the Garda's discretion until he ran a pulse check, and discovered your past history.

slimjimmc

Tailgating and 2 handbrake turns. Looks like a summons is on the way for dangerous driving, considering there was other traffic around. It may be mitigated in court but your previous bad history won't work in your favour.

Dangerous driving.

53.— (1) A person shall not drive a vehicle in a public place in a manner (including speed) which having regard to all the circumstances of the case (including the condition of the vehicle, the nature, condition and use of the place and the amount of traffic which then actually is or might reasonably be expected then to be in it) is or is likely to be dangerous to the public.

ForstalDave

you could be lucky but if he looks at your history i doubt it and sorry to say you deserve what you get dangerous driving is dangerous driving next time learn not to do stupid things just cause your having a bad day

Jack_Reacher9

OP Do you think you should be banned? I would consider myself a fairly good driver and have even had a go around various tracks to de-stress; but i would never consider doing a manouvre like that on any road. Especially considering you were in a reckless frame of mind - if it was early in the morning you could have hit a whole host of people on the way home or going to work, school etc.

I'd say man up and accept the punishment and learn this time that your actions have consequences.

I have had to swallow that pill a few times, just learn from it.

I sense alot of Bus W*nker in your future OP.

So doing handbrake turns on completely empty road with no other traffic, hardly can be considered dangerous driving then. Am I right?

That's a bit like the tree falling in the woods. If no one observed your handbrake turns, was an offence committed?

Jack_Reacher9

At the very least if he's on the road with the copper it isn't empty and as such he poses a threat by driving like that.

It wasn't, but to answer your question it may or may not, but the definition considers many factors including the "amount of traffic which then actually is or might reasonably be expected then to be in it".

Not to mention that the phrasing "with regard to.... the nature, condition and use of the place " preclude's cinio's point of view on this.
Seems that one of the law knowitalls of the forum doesn't actually knowitall!

jca

What did the copper actually say to you? I presume he was driving his own private car? Years ago while driving from Limerick to Waterford two guys in a car got offended because we overtook them (I wasn't driving). They kept tailgating us and flashing their lights, we kept driving faster to get away from them but their car was a lot faster than our car and they got in front and kept slowing to a crawl and generally acting the maggot. When we got to the usual congestion in Waterford the two jokers got out of their car and flashed the badge accusing us of dangerous driving blah blah, we told them to fcuk off... Never heard another thing...

So you've been driving for at least ten years,have previous convictions and are still acting the maggot? As a mother of three children who regularly walk,cycle and drive on the roads I would ask you to cop the F--k on and go do some push ups or something if you're in a bad mood. A bad mood? Give me a break.

nuckeythompson

just avoid the summons, plain and simpe and you can avoid them legally too if your smart about it

As a mother of 36 I agree with 12 times the authority. Won't someone think of the children.

Tzardine

The book is going to be thrown so hard at you that I suggest you run head first into the nearest library just to get used to what it is going to feel like.

What a complete numpty. People like you are a danger to others and should not be allowed a sharp pencil never mind a car.

Awesome post history.

I can't work out whether this is trolling or just some little knacker who thinks he can do what he wants on the road. do you by any chance drive a 2002 A4 1.9tdi with a body kit on it?

Again, post history. The one about the fake licences is the best.

Hey OP, how's your insurance these days?
