Evan Forums Junkie Location: Newcastle Registered: June 2004	Caught drifting Mon, 21 June 2004 13:59 Picture this.. One sexy AE86, a tricked RX7, and a black silvia enjoying a quiet, wet night of Drift in one of many industrial areas in Newcastle... Then imagine being in an almost full lock handbrake drift coming around a 90 degree corner and seeing the ol'flashing red and blue pointed straight at you. (I don't wish having a mild heart attack mid drift upon anyone) As we all got pulled over to the side the realisation kicked in that i wasn't going to be parking my car in the garage tonight. The police, as expected, greeted us with stern and fearsome tones telling us to exit the cars. The cops were in a police rescue truck which seemed strange to us, but i guess they were the closer unit and the first to arrive. As we stood together waiting for our licences to be checked and coping the usual and expected abuse that included talk of impounding, and a fine to the amount of $1500, i realised i left my jacket in the car. I asked the officer if i could go and get my jacket and made sure i said sir at the end. He agreed and i slowly ventured back to 86. I grabbed the keys from the ignition, and as i returned i handed them to the officer. The look on his face seemed to be one of shock. He must have expected us to be a bunch of youngsters with a mouth full of lip, and yet we were quiet and excepted that we were caught fair and square. After this i watched them inspect our cars and then have a conversation between them selves. They came back after the other police who showed up to check our cars left. Their gruff looks and attitudes had dissapeared and then we got the unexpected, "we were young once to" understanding talk. I was a bit thrown buy this sudden change of heart. I ended up agreeing to all the reasons why we shouldn't be doing this here, even though they were absolutly silly, just so i looked like i had learned the error of my ways. Remembering, of course to finish each "sorry" with "sir". Trying to hold my tongue about the fact that we picked a place that was quiet and waited till late before heading out. There seemed to be an understanding of one another felt by the police only, mind you. Any way, they eventually left us to breathe again after asuming we learnt our lesson, and more importantly to drive our cars home. It ended up being that we got a warning and we haven't heard from them since. I guess it was our quiet and cooperative attidudes that swayed the cops from being assholes to nice guys. Shit, i won't drift there again. Not for a while anyway. [Report message to a moderator]
