Mustank Hypersonic July 16, 2009 Share July 16, 2009 http://tnp.sg/news/story/0,4136,207877,00.html? i recall very long ago there was this HK show whereby a hk polisman was killed in a roadblock because racerboy did not stop. Frustrated by failed prosecution in court, they decided to use a trailer to roadblock the racerboy. Racerboy crash into trailer. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver_blade Turbocharged July 16, 2009 Share July 16, 2009 Bad move indeed. Lucky none of those who helped died in that operation. I guess the police will have insurance to cover the damages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustank Hypersonic July 16, 2009 Author Share July 16, 2009 racerboys usually drive a very fast sports car.....the only way to protect oneself is to drive a truck like mine......racerboys don like trucks because they are slow and hardy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic July 16, 2009 Share July 16, 2009 (edited) "Mr Kwok accused the police of being rash in carrying out the operation without proper planning, endangering their lives in the process. 'How can they use us as human sandbags?' he said. Mr Kwok, who has been a cabby for more than 30years, said that it would cost about HK$7,000 ($1,320) to repair his taxi. 'But money can always be earned back. Lives taken cannot be returned,' he said. Hong Kong police have apologised for the roadblock fiasco, and said preliminary investigations showed that they had made mistakes when planning and conducting the operation." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I won't be too happy if the police use my car as a road block and I had to sit in it as it got smashed! How dumb can the police commander be! Only the British can think! The UK police will stop chasing a car if the driver is speeding in a residential areas where people are on the streets. Better to let the driver go than an innocent person esp a child gets knocked down. Can always go to the house of the car owner later. British Gen Mike Jackson refused to attack the airport in Serbia where Russian soldiers were stationed as this would have dragged Russia into the fight and possibly start world war 3. He disobeyed the Supreme Nato Commander Gen Wesley Clark. Any other general would have blindly followed orders without realising the consequences. The taxi driver should have simply refused to put his car n body in the way of mad racers. If its a stupid request from anyone, police, Nato commander, bosses etc just refuse! Esp when u can lose limbs or die! Edited July 16, 2009 by Jamesc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustank Hypersonic July 16, 2009 Author Share July 16, 2009 don worry about off topic i am very easy going maybe the major crashes were inflicted on the lowlees which were behind and the teksi lau was in front of the lowlees.....so the lowlees bore the brunt of the damages Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustank Hypersonic July 16, 2009 Author Share July 16, 2009 personally i wouldnt mind as i am confident that my pigkarp has enough damage capacity to take a sports car coming from the rear....only the rear..... but if he says 3 trucks are speeding towards us now, i will tell him he ar..........and get the hell out of here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hub_n_mona 1st Gear July 16, 2009 Share July 16, 2009 HAHA! say yes sir yes sir..when he turn around, speed away.. on the other extreme, it may be a run-away leopard tank (heard top speed 70kmh) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting other ppl's cars and lives at stake to stop such racers are totally not worth it. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
