Topic: Idiots in cars
1. Author: jake89 Date: Wed 26th Aug 2026. 15:22 There`s been two very high profile chases resulting in deaths recently. Yesterday there was a police chase through Dunfermline involving the car being chased smashing into 4 cars and a bus. I happened to be passing and saw the aftermath. I know joyriding isn`t new, but why does there seem to have been a sudden spate of idiots driving so dangerously? Reply
2. Author: ipswichpar Date: Wed 26th Aug 2026. 15:53 I suspect there is a strong correlation to those youngsters driving around stinking the place out with weed as well. And I expect the high of getting some social media feedback is giving them a hard-on and encouraging this activity. Did you see the footage of one of the guys from Middlesbrough in a car which they had taken into a public park and they were shouting "ram him" at a young guy walking back from school? Absolute dregs of society. Reply

4. Author: twin par Date: Wed 26th Aug 2026. 16:46 God knows what, so called parents they have got. We all did daft things when we’re young,but would never dream of doing the things,on the scale,they call fun now. They are Hell Bent ,on hurting people. Reply

7. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Wed 26th Aug 2026. 19:02 The News should stop giving them air time. Give all the air time to the 2 officers that died and just stop mentioning the 5 morons in he other car. Its also not just kids that are bad drivers - in the last 2 days alone Ive had an old man pull out onto a main Aberdeen city centre roundabout the wrong way in front of me (in a 14t truck) then continue to drive round it the wrong way then today nearly witnessed a 3 car pile up on the M9/M876 slip road as all 3 couldn’t wait to get into the outside lane off the slip….. And thats barely anything of what you see every day out driving for a living. Reply
8. Author: jake89 Date: Wed 26th Aug 2026. 19:41 The difference to me is everyone makes mistakes (some more than others!) but these guys are intentionally going out to cause bother. Seems incredible to me that guys in their late teens and early 20s think it`s "cool". Absolute pleb behaviour. Reply
9. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Wed 26th Aug 2026. 20:56 I’m wondering whether police should give chase through built up areas ? Someone could have been killed. It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Post Edited (Wed 26 Aug 20:57) Reply
10. Author: ipswichpar Date: Wed 26th Aug 2026. 21:08 I`m sure time of day was a factor, unlikely they would have done it at 3pm, I suspect. And if they see the cops, I can`t imagine they would pop down to 20mph once the cops are out of sight. Quite galling that the folk now being arrested and charged, if found guilty, might avoid the "go straight to jail" card because the jails are close to being full. Reply
11. Author: jake89 Date: Wed 26th Aug 2026. 21:13 I`ve never understood why we don`t have the equivalent of chain gangs. For less serious crimes they could have a similar punishment to jail in that you lose your job and life but instead of being in jail you`re on an ankle monitor at home and spend your day litter picking or painting over graffiti.

12. Author: ipswichpar Date: Wed 26th Aug 2026. 21:28 Because they won`t invest in technology that works, or people to monitor it. Reply

Absolute dregs of society. Weed doesn`t make you joy ride FFS.... It`s a bloody tik tok `trend`. Drive dangerously and record it. App needs absolutely banned Reply

How these tech companies make a huge amount of money and couldn’t give a shiny Sh**e about regulating their own platform is madness. I read that when someone was driving like this and posted to TikTok that the message to the user was that is was dangerous and someone could get hurt. Wow! No banning, no decommit of the post. Social media unfortunately allows idiots to show they are idiots and now must be heavily regulated in law. Reply

I said correlation not causation. The point is they are dicks. And will be doing lots of **** that they shouldn`t. At 3am or whatever it was, I`d bet a lot of money on them having something in their system that would have impaired their decision making. Reply

Nice to see that the social media companies are all over this. Reply

The software to detect and release is there... the will is not. Reply
19. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Thu 27th Aug 2026. 18:45 Tech companies make too much off advertising to get banned or regulated proper. Ive said it before and will say it again - social media sites should be the exact same as gambling ones - to use them, personal or a group page, you give ID and get held accountable for your actions on it. Too many folk out there hiding behind anonymous usernames as well and acting the big I am. Reply
