Sitting in the house worrying that I've been a bit daft.
Heard a complete racket outside - cars revving, lots of noise, sounded like shouting, speeding cars.
Went out expecting possible fight. Saw 30 sport type cars and and some guys out of their cars smoking and talking loudly. Cars parked all the way up the road. We live near very winding roads, they were parked right up to and on a bad/tight corner. They were driving at speed (could hear them arriving).
I asked quite frankly what the hell was going on. Got told they were doing nothing illegal and we're waiting on more of the "group" catching up. Got told that I could go home. It wasn't my problem. Cue me telling them I won't be told to go home and that it would be my problem if someone was killed outside my house to deal with the scene.
Told them to move off, refused, said I would phone police. They then shouted to the line of cars and all drove off at speed.
WIBU to call the police and to speak to them? Non emergency police said they would send out officers. My concern was not only the disturbance but the fact that someone could easily be dead. DH says I should just keep put these things. As I've got older I struggle when I see something so blatantly stupid and dangerous. But I am wondering if I've made us now a target. (
