Dizzy Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Good grief.. this woman led the police on a 27 mile chase through Essex. She was finally stopped, banned for 12 months and given a £100 fine. Scarey ! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/8810859/Pensioner-led-police-on-27-mile-chase-at-10mph.html What do you think about it ?

observer Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 This Gov are reviewing sentencing policies - and for "causing injury through dangerous driving" the sentence is to be increased from around 2 years prison to a whopping 5 years - wow!

Dizzy Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I think you may have missed my point a little Obs But good to hear that you say they are at least increasing the sentence though so that's a start I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as she wasn't exceeding the limit. Ooops, she already had , too much alcohol in her blood. Easy to criticise without walking in her shoes. She obviously had problems that the majority of us don't understand. Dizzy, you are doing an obs. :roll: :roll: :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inky pete Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 She's going to have to re-take her test once she's served her ban before she can get her licence back. No way is she ever going to pass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I don't know Peter ask Obs I read it and she clearly did not know what she was doing and yet they let her carry on FOR 27 MILES from initially spoting her and then knowing that she had gone on the wrong side of the road towards oncoming traffic amongst everything else and she seemed completely unaware. She could have hurt herself or someone else. My actual point was that I couldn't understand how or why the poice had tailed the elderly woman (who was only doing between 10 and 20 mph) for a whopping 27 miles, set up a rolling road block and everything else before finally managing to pull her over. For goodness sake I don't know why I bother sometimes. In fact forget it, I wont. There you go ... sorted. Happy posting Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter T Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 A trucker driving down the motorway watching a DVD or blimping drivers in mini skirts etc, suddenly sees this dizzy bird driving towards him. He can either, ignore it and think to himself what a funny old world and I shouldn't have had that curry, OR, he can get on the old CB, and tell his mates, "You'll NEVER believe what I have just seen"!!!! Comprendez??? and if you do, see if you can find any of obs' peons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
