Bad Driving

[luke gtr]

Hey Guys, I wouldnt normally post this, and If the mods dont like it they can delete it, but

Driving home from Eastern Creek yesterday, a Maroon R33 GTR with the plates JET 26L was cutting in and out of traffic, driving like an absolute Dickhead, obviously speeding.

Narrowly missed me as he cut me off, as well as many other cars. All while cracking (external) gate.

Now time and a place for everything. This was 6pm along a busy Cowpasture road.

My only hope is that someone that knows the owner, will read this and tell them to pull there head in.

Its no wonder imports are targeted. FFS.

ok, been thinking about this thread.

time for my 2c.

please note: these are my thoughts and opinions only.

I think you could have gone about this slightly different.

instead of describing everything the driver was doing wrong, could have just said driving like a goose.

in regards to speeding how do you know?

did you have a radar on the car?

could have been doing the speed limit whilst everyone else was going slower?

cutting in and out of traffic, to maintain his speed?

ive done this, whilst sitting on the speed limit due to slower cars on the road.

cracking gate, in which gear?

1st or 2nd can crack gate within the speed limit in most areas.

and imports are targeted as they stand out.

this is the reason theres not more name and shame threads for normal cars.

they blend in, and you dont really notice most of the time.

now, im also NOT saying the car was adhereing to the road rules, I wasnt there, and dont know.

but, could there be even a little doubt?

again, just my thoughts.

As some advice - if you see someone being a dickhead on the road and potentially endangering others, no matter what car they drive - pull over and call the police assistance line on 131 444. Let them know the details of what was happening (car type, colour, registration; not too many details eg. BA MK2 Falcon XR6 - just say blue ford falcon) - if an officer sees them soon after, they'll pull them over and give them a bit of an earful.

Like it or not, we're all part of the greater car "community", and there's always muppets. I'm all for name and shame, but these people also need a bit of the powers-that-be smackdown too.

Use the above responsibly though. The police have a pretty full job as it is, and only give them a call if you honestly believe a driver is endangering others with their actions.

SAUNSW (nor any other car club) endorses being an idiot on the roads, and we try very hard to encourage people to use their cars in a responsible manner on the track etc, and get it all out there.

sighhh... but saying that I believe most Skyline drivers are quite well behaved on our streets.. I often see more dickheads in Hondas and rice rocket lancers being complete twats on the road.

Well, that escalated quickly.

There are some valid points in this thread, and I agree I could have worded the the original post differently. (although not sure if the msg would get through)

My sole intention of this thread was the (slim) hope that either the driver in question saw it and thought to himself what he'd done, or someone knew him had a word to him.

In reflection, maybe I would have been better off reporting it to the police, instead of relying on the possibilty that this community, which I consider to be a strong one, having a word to him.

I also understand not every skyline owner is on the forums.

MOST are.

but like every segment, youll always have those who dont think at the time, or just dont care for the rules.

i'm with you , i totally understand your viewpoint - in fact i did something pretty much similar to you last year, in that i was the target of a bad and abusive driver (he was in a V35 skyline) and i posted over in their area, instead, some people laughed at me, some people supported me, but most people said that posting up was pointless, like here.

but i too felt that i needed to say something, in case that person was on the forum, that their behaviour was NOT OK (deliberately blocking me off, verbally abusing me etc).

I hope that the rego matches the owner. Otherwise, the poor owner is probably going to get an ear full. Best just to ring the police and let them handle it.

I drive a Rav4 :sneaky:

Haha well as long as you're not driving like this ay.

OP: Drive like a dickhead they deserve to get called out. Dont care what car they're in. Good post. (although nothing will come of it)

Benji: You've missed the point of the thread...

I'm going to disagree with a lot of people and say: 8/10 skylines I see, spot me and FLOOR it past me.

its almost like "OMG a skyline I must be on boost when next to iiit!!!"

sorry, but the majority of import drivers I see are morons.

They might just be happy to see you and want to get your attention with a wastegate wave to play. Skylines are very communal cars

However, point acknowledged there is an appropriate time and place such as race track or drag strip.

So you've seen me driving then?

There could also be an underlying unknown context, such as his wife was in the backseat and the baby started crowning; or his mate was choking and he was racing to the hospital; or he had just said something really inappropriate to a bike club's Sargent at arms and his driving behaviour was literally for self preservation Best to just call the Police, if it's really dangerous driving.

Are you sure it was a 33 and not a R32 GTR? There was a Marone R32 GTR with those plates on elizabeth drive(this was about a year ago though) that shot past my cousins car a few times at high speed.

Boats don't have speed limits unless 50M or less from the shore...

How's this..

Going to Brisbane about 7pm (PowerCruise Weekend) to work on my 32 the following day..

And everyone was just sitting behind this police car at 110km, not daring to go 1km over to pass him. Haha.

Herd this supra on gate come screaming sideways onto the M1 from the on-ramp, doing well over 110 when he boosted off..

The cop car just sat there, didn't follow him or anything (Probably wouldn't of caught him )

But I was just like wtf..

In his defence maybe he caught the number plate or radioed someone ahead, but I highly doubt it.
