Vaati   11 #13 Posted September 20, 2013 So they 'fixed' one accident blackspot at the junction on Wilcox/Halifax Road, but the issues still remain that people still apparently speed further down near the Lidl turn off and further down past the shops. The turn off up to Southey Hill.  Hope the guy is okay and that the idiots who caused the accident get locked up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Doom   10 #14 Posted September 20, 2013 white Bentley with a pink soft top roof  Not the one I saw then, that was more a works type van/car.  I actually checked the travel news when I got to my parents because I half expected the driver to cause an accident.  I can only assume he/she was either texting on a mobile phone or under the influence.  I've seen plenty of bad driving in my time, but this is the first time I've ever phoned the police because I was concerned he/she might cause an accident.  Regards  Doom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
bev2 Â Â 10 #15 Posted September 20, 2013 I was once on my way to work and was chased and forced to drive a bit faster all the way down Attercliffe road. As I was turning off near the car wash on Newhall Rd the two cars following me overtook every body and a police car coming in the opposite direction stopped them both. When I got to work I rang 101 and spoke to the officer who stopped them and he said both cars were Asians coming from a wedding. Apparently its a usual occurrence at weddings, the young men drive around in their fast cars. I'm not saying this is what happened today but it needs to stop !

andipep   10 #17 Posted September 20, 2013 Very unlikely, hence why I suggested they probably weren't involved. You weren't driving a white van by any chance, because you seem to be making a big issue out of nothing?  That's me done on this thread....I asked the question and at least somebody answered it without attitude....Thanks andipep.  Regards  Doom  i think you deserve a pat on the back for being concerned enough to report what you saw.
