Very Serious Warning

[JaMiMa]

This has been received from a very trusted source and i would personally take it as a real threat.....

 

 

The following warning has been received from the Department of

Transport

and I urge all to take note and pass on to family and friends.

 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT WARNING FOR DRIVERS

 

The London Ambulance Service have units closely associated

with the

Police squads based in South London who are basically fighting Gang

Crimes. The 'street gangs' in London (particularly South London at

present, but it is sure to spread) have initiation tasks which new gang

members have to carry out to be admitted to the 'gang'

The latest craze is to drive around, deliberately with no

lights on

their cars. The first person who 'flashes' them, points at them or

sounds

their horn at them, has to be followed by that new gang member in their

car, who then has to fire a shot into the vehicle!!! With no regard as

to

who is inside.

 

Our official instruction is that if we see a vehicle with no

lights

on, we are NOT to 'flash' it, etc. and the advice to friends and family

is

that you should ignore any vehicles you see without lights. I would

ask

that you pass this info on to all your family, friends and colleagues

by

phone or e-mail, and who knows, it may save a life.

don't you think something like this would be on the news? people being shot at, at random? In London?....I suspect it's another one of these emails circulated with the intent of gaining many private email addresses...for spammers :mad:

Urban legend.....

 

There's so much of this cr@p doing the rounds that staff in the office that I work in have been instructed to check this sort of message out before circulating them. This one cropped up (again !) a couple of months ago. It's very much a fake and its been arround since the mid eighties..

I saw a similar post and it was the Notts area comcerned.

It was said the Notts Constabulary had issued the warning.

I emailed them about it but heard nothing in return.

I have also seen it posted as urban myth in the States.

I've wondered about several web sites. Any thoughts?

 

One of my favorites (favourites?) is Here. I'm studying it prior to vacationing in the UK next year. I may even be able to pass as a native if I absorb all the information.
