medusa   16 #4 Posted September 12, 2016 There were a few similar young lads on off road motorbikes with no lights coming down the road towards me (on my side of the road) last week in Walkley.  I managed to avoid wiping any of them out, but it was mostly due to the new street lights that I saw them in enough time to stop without causing any hazard to anybody else until they had gone past. I didn't think that getting out of the car to remonstrate with them was in my job description that day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Guest sibon   #5 Posted September 12, 2016 I used to get the same sort buzzing my classroom when I worked at Springs in the mid-90s. Balaclarvas, nimble, small motorbikes, a nightmare for the police to catch.  It seems that their anti-social behaviour is spreading to nicer areas now.

I didn't think that getting out of the car to remonstrate with them was in my job description that day.  No me neither - as I drove along crookes road they came down one of the side streets ahead and at one point they were about a foot of my bumper so just pulled in and they drove past and down towards Walkley.

You can get a really good one for about £90. If people like this collide with you, you can bet that a couple of months down the line, they'll have a NWNF company onto you, and this can seriously damage your car insurance.

Guest sibon   #9 Posted September 12, 2016 Was that just the other teachers?  There were some odd ones, so you might be right. I could tell you a few stories:cool:  I was amazed at how lawless the area was. I grew up in sheltered Dinnington, you see:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

There were some tiny kids on the junior track, one looked younger than your son, must have been about 6, on a small bike, he kept stalling it, bless him.
