If I wasn't supposed to be calling 911 for that, they'd have notified me and dropped the call.  They were more than happy to spend several minutes with me taking the location down.  They also asked for my name and phone number, and nobody has called to reprimand me.  I wasn't on a provincial highway (as stated) and so I don't know if *OPP would have worked.

Secondly, perhaps because of your subpar reading comprehension skills, you might not have noticed I used the words "sliding into".  I did not whip the trailer out.  I was about 1/8th mile ahead when I pinched off the oncoming lane, a bit.  Plenty of time for them to decide to slow down, and if they didn't well, that's their choice.  Concidering I only moved over 1 or 2 feet, it was more sending a message than anything.

Soon as it became apparent that they weren't getting the message, I pulled back in so as not to make the situation worse.

Thirdly, the "authorities" have declared that street racing is like carrying a "loaded gun" :rolleyes: If they aren't just blowing smoke up people's ass, they should be happy to have a 911 call and/or somebody trying to prevent it.

I would have loved to have tailed them until the police showed up, but I couldn't have kept up with the trailer attached.  And heck, considering the "appearance" of the car, I wouldn't want to be assumed to be involved. :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:

I'm siding with P-51 on this one. Quite a number of years ago I shadowed a Crown Vic (not a cop!) as he was obviously drunk and nearly out-of-control from 400/Major Mack all the way to 400/Hwy 9 as I was on the phone to the OPP.

I distinctly remember telling the dispatcher, "PLEASE don't pull over the red Bronco II a couple hundred feet behind the Crown Vic! I'm just keeping tabs!" and she laughed quite a bit.

It was early in the morning and I guess they were short of cars in the area. Once she told me they were jumping on at Hwy 9 I got off there... just to make sure ;)

You've GOT to call these assholes in, because otherwise they'll do f***ed up things like killing family members. :angry:
