What can they do?

[fraggie]

was going down to the village at lunch 2day was going slow for a left hand turn, guy had just crossed, so i go to go round the corner, dumped the clutch a bit too quick and wheelspan around it, the guy who had crossed the road apparent (as told by my passengers) looked very shocked.

Anyway me m8 was going down there later and apparently the guy was still there with a police car and he was talkin to a copper.

I accidentally spin the wheels, go nowhere near him, so surely they cant do nething

[Lowe]

Spinning the wheels is enough to get pulled. His word against yours though so don't worry about it. Do it in front of a copper though and you're asking to be pulled.

I had something like this with an old lady once. Admittadly it must of made her jump but calling the police was way ott. Makes you feel guilty though

guarentee me college will prob be told about it so do i admit it and say it was an accident or i lie and say it never happened ?

Just deny being there or it happening, it's more hassle for them to investigate it than say anything.

And stop being such a boy wannabe racer oh also stop being so paranoid, they aint all after u

Or stop living in the middle of no-where where people actually do stuff like that, peeps do burn outs regularly round here so it wouldn't even get noticed a quick bit of wheelspin.

Tbh just blame it on a bit of water or summit on the road, or you drove through a puddle or summit (if it rained like it did down here )

Old grandads sometimes spin a wheel for an odd second if they let the clutch up abit sharp, easy thing to do, and as you were going round a corner, sure trigs done that on many an occasion

I purposefully spin the wheels going round corners to enduce a bit of front end happyness tbh

Chances are they wont even know it was you so dont worry about it, even if they do say something say u cant remember or whatever...

What can they do?

Not alot - your word against his.

word of old geezer wiv moustache vs 17 yr old who has driven for all of about 5 months

Your college shouldn't get onto your back unless u go to a fee-paying one surely? Your there by choice, and what u do off campus is ur choice

Either way they wont do anything to you mate not like points or anything. Someone reversed into our car on a car park, a witness gave us their details but the police would do nothing as it was private property...

Besides they are too busy catching people with no widscreen wash fluid

Come to think of it had you run the old guy down then you would be sure to escape any police attention at all as that would make you a real criminal

Thats very cynical but kinda true

[5lab]

you can just say your used to a less powerful car with a higher clutch bite hense the accidental wheelspin

[fraggie]

was accidentally all around the corner and most of the way up the straight :/

Theres a good reason why they do people for having no windscreen washer fluid. If they pull someone over who has no ID on them, they need an excuse to take them to the station. Having no windscreen washer fluid is a classic, and it means they can check they've been given correct details (which in those situations they normally aren't) and prosecute for no insurance/licence (which the driver normally doesn't have).
