I was in the Corsa, The 206 is a weekend car. I have a Corsa C 1.3 cdti for the commute. I need it seeing as I drive 450 miles a week, it only costs me £32 in fuel
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Wonder how he would have explained that if he went into the back of you when you had to brake suddenly.
This would have been my reaction.

In all honnesty you wouldnd though ! And they know this hence whilst they do it. The only people that do it are in old bangers and they are trying to escape the police for some reason.
Also have you been involved with a police accident before? Its a joke trying to prove anything.
A friend was going all the way around a island in town, (dual carridge way runs over it), a copper went flying straight over (no blues and two's) and T boned him. After 6 months, the copper was still trying to blame him
It went on for that long, the insurance took the company car back, and then he went and bought himself another car!

Wouldn't I... You that sure on that???
I regulary stamp the brakes if someones up my rear end. And i've been know to stop on quite a few occasions and get out....
My old man stoped on the outside lane on the M25 once cos some chump done the same.
And we got rammed off the road by a major drug dealer too doing the same thing. A Ford Sapphire doesn't quite have the brakes to stop a Bently floored pushing you forwards Have quite a few old bill on that one.
So yes, I would, and no, it doesn't take a banger. Hit from behined = rear persons fault, end of!!!! Police, or no police, they are at fault. If they cannot stop becuase you've needed to hit the brakes, they are too close, end of story. Not a leg to stand on.
*brake, rear impact*
"s'cuse me sir, step out the car, why did you brake so hard"
"didn't you see the dog run out"
"no"
"maybe thats becuase you were sat so close up my backside you didn't have a clear view, can I ask WHY you were so close behined me, driving like that is dangerous, and as police office, i find it rather concerning you would drive like this. What if I had been a nervous driver, what "saftey" aspect was you thinking of when sat 1m from my rear bumper" Now excuse me while I call your superiour officer to file a formal complaint, and get relevent insurance details."
So yes, don't ever sit on my arse, because you will get an irrate Damien come hunting!!!!

I Dont doubt you would hit the brakes to give them a warning, just dont think someone would go to the extent of slamming on - emergency stop style knowing someone is going to smash your back doors in. You wouldnt like that on your VXR would you 
But ive seen how you m25'ers drive so i guess its each to their own.

I have got out to a copper for following to close and i ened up having a seat in their car 
But i undestand what sporty boy says! But im fortunate/young/nieve enough to have had this problem yet
Totaly depends on the mood. SOme days nothing bothers me. I can nearly have an accident for some bints sake. Slam on avoid and then carry on like nothing happens. Then sometimes ill go mad and still chunter to my self 30 minutes later

This stupid c*nt-twat of a traffic officer was behind me on Sunday in an undercover Vectra, I sussed it straight away as they have the GSi slatted grille on the SRi's and you can see the cut outs for the lights. Anyway, there he is sitting a centimetre off my bumper, moving out to the middle of the road in a 30mph limit trying to get me to put my foot down.
They are a disgusting bunch of human beings that are a law to themselves.
This happened to me, cuntlips was snaking around behind me like he was racing just WAITING for me to bite.
Entrapment is it not?
Dispicalble human beings. I hope they do that to some fucking nutbar who gets out and knifes them up.

get a camera with a date function that can be added to the picture, and take a few pics from different distances. if possible maybe two cameras incase they argue it has been set up to be an earlier date. most cameras will have the time and date in the picture properties/details anyways.

If an under cover car is driving like that then just report the car and the time and they will check back on the video footage and then possible take it further.

AS long as you want it to be.
Carl - Once upon a time, there was a corsa forum. Things written on it were few and far between. Some came to brag, some came to chat. Those that came to brag didn't hang around long, a few attention posts, and tehy were off. Those that came to chat hung around. Those that did hang around would be a little silly to lie their ass off online, as lies always get found out.
So the moral is, to creat good chat, tell the truth.
PS, this was mid 80's. Although I do recall quite a few other times hes stopped to have a "polite" word with the guy sat up his ass.
How do you think we got rammed by a Bently owning drug dealer... Up ass, fine brake hard, bently keeps on coming, nearly spins us around, we get to hard should. (or so he tried to undertake first nearly ramming a tiny R5 with dad and little baby girl in the car first (unknow until he also pulled over as a witness).
Luckily, this was the one time we didn't have the jetski on a trailor on the back as we'd jsut bought a double ski trailor and a friend was towing them and he was in front of us.
All lies, im saying all this to get internet credibility from the younger generation

"I regulary stamp the brakes if someones up my rear end"
If you stamp on the brakes when someone is tailgating you, that would result in a crash, surely? Yet you do this regular?
