Essex boys and girls...

This is a warning. Be careful as this is no longer fun and games. Here is a Newspaper article...

Dont risk it anymore. Just keep it to the track to avoid losing your license.

A spokesperson for the police said this was a new phenomenon similar to 'boy-racing'.

"Operation Cruiser" sounds like a cheezy film or a trance song

NIcad7 · 05-06-2008, 22:27

similar to boy racing, yeh frick off please ms spokestard...

You're all a bunch of southern chavs!

And they handle stolen goods and injure eachother behind road blocks.

Watch out for 4-wheel-skidding-off-course, that's a great passtime for those who like smashing wheels.

Mate of mine got caught in essex last year in his cossie. Now banned from driving.
Thing is, if you are one of the few to get caught. When it comes to court they are likely to give you the maximum penalty as a deterrent for others.

topi · 05-06-2008, 22:35

I don't see a problem here tbh.

Theres huge groups of people driving dangerously, you can't have one law for people at are able to drift proper and another law for useless pricks- so we have to stick to the laws that keep the pricks from killing people. Seems reasonable to me.
I wouldn't wanna drive anywhere if the police said 'meh street drifting is fine', because dickheads will crash into my car.

"Police target boy drifters"

Sex change time!

**SteveC200** · 05-06-2008, 22:39

Fantastic, drifting = boy racing and cruising.

Corey_XR4I · 05-06-2008, 22:41

lol at roop, Topi aint found his balls yet and has long hair so may just get away anyhow

insane 200 · 05-06-2008, 22:41

that whole article is utter horse shit.

'Drifting' is a dangerous driving technique in which the driver sharply turns his car sideways.

The writer of the article clearly needs to re invent drift bible so we can all take note.

understand the whole dangerous thing, but people cruisers endanger themselves being there.

The sole reason why i lifestyle on my own

Bolf · 05-06-2008, 22:42

frick sake , more bad publicity.

topi · 05-06-2008, 22:42

Are they wrong though?

Massive groups of young lads, most of them in crap cars, nearly crashing and being dickheads - Not much different from cruises.
As far as the local law is concerned, that's what drifting is. Because that's what they've been told it is by the people that do it.

I can't wait to get my Boy Race licence and enter pro-am BBRC in 2009 and EBRC in 2010!

I don't condone streeto (honestly) but what a ridiculous statement!

FlikstRR · 05-06-2008, 22:46

'Skidding', is caused when braking too hard, over-accelerating or when all four wheels drift or slide off course.

thats where ive been goin wrong in DBC,... doh

You entered the Danger Bikes Championships as well Phil?

Baba · 05-06-2008, 22:48

Yeah all 4 wheels locked up sliding doing 8 laps using some miraculous jet power

Sliding off course? As in over the kerbs and railings etc?

I would love to meet the idiot that wrote that article.

topi · 05-06-2008, 22:49

I think people are missing the point.

Yes the police say some stupid stuff, because they don't care about drifting - but it's there job to stop people getting dead!
They aren't the bad people, the dumbprickss that show off infront of other dumbpricks and get noticed are the bad people.

Answers simple:
If you don't want articles like this to happen, stop being dickheads and either -
a) Stick to the track
b) Find proper roads that are empty and don't tell people that you go drifting there

jamespa28 · 05-06-2008, 22:50

I don't think they're wrong though!

I don't want some cock in his new 200sx or whatever running over my dogs and cats or crashing into my mum cos they're too idle to get to a track day!

Dangerous driving is dangerous driving full stop, I'm no angel but I genuinely disagre with drifting on the streests!

The only sad part is it labels drifting as a sport as a bad thing with bad people! When two people race vectra's on the m6, they don't call it "Touring car racing" do they
