had this email at work telling us about gang crime and what they do



Warning - We have received a warning from the London Ambulance Service of activities in their area. Whilst the below behaviour is not common place in our area I have spoken with Greater Manchester Police and their risk assessment of the action is to circulate it as a potential'

The London Ambulance service have units closely associated with the Police based in South London who are basically Fighting Gang Crimes. The 'street gangs' in London (particularly South London at present, but it is sure to spread) have initiation tasks which new gang members have to carry out to be admitted to the 'gang'. The latest craze is to drive around, deliberately with no lights on their cars. The first person who 'flashes' them, points at them or sounds their horn at them, has to be followed by that new gang member in their car, who then has to fire a shot into that vehicle with no regard as to who is inside.

Our official instruction is that if we see a vehicle with no lights on, we are NOT to 'flash' it etc. and the advice to friends and family is that you should ignore any vehicles you see without lights. I would ask that you pass this info on to all your family, friends and colleagues and who knows, it may save a life.

thort it might be a good idea to post up here

Urban legend

Did you hear about Richard Gere and a rodent?

Shame it isn't go shoot any car you see with a rear fog light on with no fog. The roads would soon clear.

Or shoot anyone who doesn't use their indicators, particularly on roundabouts. No more german cars on the roads.

Or anyone who reverses into a supermarket parking space knowing they need to get a trolley load of groceries into the boot.

The list is endless :x

Yep - Urban legend.

Gerry - are you my twin ?

Fog lights really irritate me too. I just cant see the point of rear fog lights unless the purpose is to totally blind or hypnotise the driver behind so that he cant see your brake lights.

Indicators... hmm they should be shot too.

Supermarkets - I avoid these

Oh there's plenty more where they came from, how about:

The ones that sit in the middle lane on motorways at 60 with nothing in the inside lane?

Sitting in the outside lane of a dual carriageway because they'll be turning right at the third roundabout that's five miles ahead.

No headlights in thick mist. This particularly seems to apply to silver/grey coloured cars, to maximise the camouflage, so you don't see them till the very last moment.

Grumpy old men have nothing on me

The one that gets me most is those that poodle along at 50mph on a country lane then when they come into a village... stay at 50mph. wtf is that all about ?

having been back down in essex for the past few months, one thing has become apparent the people down here have not got a clue about driving, i'm certainly not the best driver in the world, but compared to this lot i maybe :?

This can be quite funny if travelling in a convoy
