Modern times

Just read in local paper that gangs of mostly asian young men are staging car cashes together with accomplice passengers and witnesses.Some disconnect brake lights and brake sharply or enter a roundabout and brake for no reason once over the line.
I always carry a heavy steering lock bar just in case I have to "stag" an attack on me should I be involved in such a situation.

Witnesses will not be a problem.

this happened to my friend a few months back, she was sitting in a traffic jam at a roundabout when an asian man infront got out of his car claiming she had just gone into the back of him and made a scrath on his car. The fact was that the scrath was on a kind of 'lip' on the car where it really could not have been caused by a car hitting the rear and therefore he was lying. thankfully her insurance company ignored his claim due to the nature of this stuff happening recently.

Have known about this for some time. Followed a packed car of asians last week which was being driven oddly. I dropped well back as we approached r/bout to be sure. Probably quite innocent but best to be on guard.

This happened to me in Liverpool, a few years back, I was overtaken by two men in an old Orion, this alerted me as it was in a residential/30 MPH area and I was already doing 30, after a couple of minutes the driver slammed on his brakes, with nothing in front of him.

I had a feeling this was going to happen so I was ready for it and stopped without hitting their car.

They just drove off.

This has been happening round our way for years and it's not 'the asians' - it's just scumbags, they're everywhere.....I am a bit concerned that the implication in this thread is that it's only 'the asians' who do this (not sure what the contributors mean by 'asians'
