This I’m afraid is becoming a major road safety problem. I am informed that locally in Portsmouth, the boy racer’s have formed a ‘Get it Sideways’ club, and are actively going from one roundabout to another, getting there mates to block all accesses on to the roundabout, while the others perform there dangerous stunts in front of their audience. Just last night they evidently performed their dangerous act on some 6 different roundabouts between Portsmouth & Fareham.

While I am a big fan of Top Gear and similar programmes, I do think Mr Clarkson & Mr Nidel have a lot to answer for not adding a safety warning that this should not be tried on the public highway, but I guess they would automatically assume that no one would be so down right irresponsible.

I don’t know at this stage if the local Traffic Police are aware of the situation, but when you read this thread Bob, I’m sure you’ll make them aware!!!!!!! lol

Default Anti-Social Driving Law

The new anti-social driving strategy has been in place since january 1st 2003 when the police were given new powers to seize vehicles under sections 59 and 60 of the Police reform Act 2002. This is the process of implementing the new law. If anything is incorrect please let me know!

If a driver is deemed to be driving in an anti-social manner and is stopped in doing so by the police the driver will be given a first warning if deemed appropriate. If the driver is stopped a second time for anti-social driving the car may be impounded with a fee to release the car. If the driver is caught for a third time the police have the power to seize the car and crush it.

Vehicles can be seized if the police deem that anti-social driving has taken place. Any person that fails to comply with an order to stop driving in an anti-social manner is liable on summary conviction to pay a fine.
