Hooning About


Saturday night / Sunday morning, and the hoons are at play. Judging by the different engine notes, there are three or four different vehicles out there on the B2150/A3(M) intersection.

They started around 00:25 and as I write this it is 01:19 and they are still out there. We get a little respite, and then they come back again.

They have no consideration for anyone with their high engine revs, loud exhausts popping and banging, and the squealing tyres.

I don’t believe they have a single brain cell to share between them.

I won’t call 999 as it isn’t an emergency situation, I tried calling 101, but it is not much use when you are placed in a queue. And then, even if the police were to deploy a car, the hoons would scatter.

I wish this country had hoon laws like they have in Australia. Give the police the power to confiscate cars used in an antisocial manner.

Lunatic Driver


Yesterday I was driving down the A3(M), sitting in the outside lane bringing up the rear of a small convoy, doing just under 70mph when this tosser in a green Ford Focus came hurtling up behind me. He then proceeded to tailgate me trying to push me to go faster. He did this despite the fact that it was quite obvious  there was no where for me to go. But still he pushed.

There is a saying that if you cannot see the wheels of the car behind you then it is too close. Well this idiot was so close to my rear that I could not see his head lamps or even the leading edge of the bonnet.

At his first opportunity he “undertook”, then cut back in front and brake tested me. He then gesticulated at me, using both hands off the steering wheel.  Further along the road he did the same thing to another motorist, then to another. This was a man in a hurry and one who couldn’t care less about his or other folks safety. As it happens we were following the same route and we, my wife, granddaughter and I, watched as he forced his way past various cars as we all headed down the Eastern Road.

I  can only assume that he was late for the Pompey match but this idiot has no place on our roads

So, if you see a green Ford Focus X235 AMP, BEWARE !!!
