HI Folks,
Yesterday I was traveling on Erindale heading south when a bogan in a V8 Ute (complete with pig dog) pulled out and I was almost forced into the median strip. I gave him a toot and a finger.
Then he didn't like that so he decided to try and run me over from behind. I then zig zaged through a few cars then he tried to sideswipe me again from the side trying to force me into the gutter.
I then nailed it and got away.
As I had missed my turnoff I turned around and went back. Then I saw him pulled over on the side of the road by the Police.
Thank fuck I thought so I pulled over and told them what happened.
The cops we saw him almost hit you and he will get a fine for failing to give way.
I asked about the rest, and they said well we never saw that we thought you were just racing! So despite my protests and willingness to give a statement on what happened they only charged him with failing to give way!
What ever happened to confiscating the car for road rage or hooning? They even admitted they had to do high speed to catch up with him (I had to do 200+ to get away from him) and yet they wont ping him for anything.
Why is it cops are so keen to charge us for speeding based on visual only and charge us for section 60 based on 2 bike accelerating hard side by side, yet they wont even touch this guy.
It is worth trying to take this further with Senior SGT?
(P.S I was given a warning for the finger and made to feel like its was my fault for someone trying to use their car to run me off the road.).
