I've heard many stories in the past from other drivers saying that they carry lumps of wood to maglite torches and other items which they say they would use to defend themselves.

speaking to a police officer at a footy match about what you can and cant do.

It came across that if you use something to defend yourself with you must have some sort of valid reason for carrying it in the car........ lump of wood is hard to explain. but a torch is a tool of the trade when working nights.

what have you heard about this ?

Scenario 5 scum attack Driver in his cab filth arrest all involved all on bail for 3 months no charges, Licensing Officcer suspends Drivers Hack license our lawyers describe decision as perverse it takes 4 months to get case into Mag Court we win hands down and get 80% of costs. Driver loses 5 months income, its almost impossibble to sue the council for Drivers loss of earnings but we can pursue the Officer through grievance procedures!

The message filth will fit you up at every opportunity so whatever you carry torches whatever RISKY Driver Shields And CCTV with a sound facility [inLondon Boris's sycophants at PCO WONT ALLOW SOUND !!] probably the best answer!!

THAT REPORT IS ENTIRELY ACCURATE AND CAN BE SUBSTANTIATED IT OCCURED IN ST ALBANS HERTFORDSHIRE AND WE ARE STILL PERSUING THE LICENSING OFFICER RESPONSIBLE AND WE WILL NAIL HER!


Do i trust the FILTH most definitely not and as time goes on my opinions are continually affirmed, as you can see on other reports on this site, or maybe you watched the FILFH MURDER AN INNOCENT SUBJECT OF HER MAJESTY ON THE STREETS OF LONDON THIS YEAR OR PERHAPS YOU MIGHT LIKE TO REMEMBER THE GUY WHO GOT 7 BULLETS IN THE NUT ON THE TUBE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO ? and then there was the woman assorted during the demo where they had already murderd someone?

The interesting thing is that other FILTH watched these occurences and made no effort to intervene scum!!
and its all been BROADCAST ON TV LUVERLY LOT???
