Shazbat Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 About an hour ago, I came up behind a black, M-reg, low-slung car (Toyota MR2/Celica size/type - not sure) which came off Effingham Road and up Bernard Road going in the direction of Hyde Park. I had to pull up as although I wasn't going fast off the roundabout, it was doing 20mph if that, crawling past Nunnery and up the hill. It drifted into the lane to turn right down into town, so I carried on past it on the inside as I was going straight on. It then changed lanes and fell in behind me, and proceeded to flash its lights incessantly all the way to Duke Street. I took the filter lane up the hill and when it came up behind me I could see two baseball caps low down in their seats. It followed me up Duke Street to where it joins City Road, still flashing its lights. By this time I was getting worried, so did a hasty right down Stafford Road, then Fitzwalter and finally Claywood before whizzing straight across Granville and down Norfolk Park Road. fortunately they got held up on Stafford Road by a car moving which had kindly given way to me, but when he he was still flashing his lights behind me. When I got home I got my lights checked and there was nothing wrong with them or the rear of my car to prompt anyone to try and signal that there was anything wrong. It may sound melodramatic but it was quite scary, as by passing this car, which in essence I was forced to do, the occupants knew I was a lone female driver. Admittedly all I had on me was my mobile phone but beware if you're in the area and especially if you're female Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
never wrong Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I think you should report this one especially after the two baseball caps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 have you reported this to the police as if they are planning a quick mobile grab or car jacking they should be made aware so they can keep a lokkout for the vehicle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shazbat Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 Can only remember part of the number plate and was too busy concentrating on getting the hell away from them tbh. If I hadn't have lost them I had my phone ready for the Police ... It's one of those dilemmas, is it me and am I making a fuss about nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDSFLK Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I don't think you would have been making a fuss about nothing. Anyway, even if you was - so what? I'm sure if necessary, the police would rather you told them and it was a 'false alarm' than them not have been told and then have a bad situation to deal with.

Meaks Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Sounds like car jackers to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I'm sure the police would rather know than not know about this car and its occupants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkerSWFC Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Sounds like car jackers to me... And to me too, id report it to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parcher Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Sounds weird to me too. And scary. It happened to me once when I was on a moped, of all things. When I escaped into the drive for my block of flats, the van which had trailed me for a couple of miles, pulled in beside me and the occupants all climbed out. Then I got an earwigging for not pulling over - it turned out that my main headlight was out and these were a bunch of coppers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X5X5 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I would report this aswell...... Think about all the other young girls/ women, they might not be as wise as you and they might stop.. with different consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
