Default We followed a Drunk Driver.....

As the title suggests...we were heading back after a fantastic night out from Swedish House Mafia concert (which was unreal...) to the Brewery for a few before lock out.

We finally decided to head home at the early hours of 2am...driving west on Windsor Rd from Rouse Hill (locals will know the road). Usually this road is haunted with cops hiding to frequently setting up RBT's, but not tonight.

Driving back we approach a slower driving Prado, all over the road, almost hit a car traveling next to him...for those that don't know, Winsdor Rd is dual way all the way to Windsor.

This got out attention first, we followed this car with caution, every time he swerved off the road a little, we flashed our lights and this got the drivers attention enough for a little. We were getting very concerned, very quickly and called Hawkesbury LAC Police direct and informed them of the vehicle, number plates etc...we got told, they will send someone out...were still following cautiously out of our way now to make sure this person gets picked up...nothing yet...

We made it to Windsor and went over the Hawkesbury River, following the driver in awe that no police had yet caught up to us...

On the horizon we see red and blue flashing lights (this road has no turn offs as were approaching Putty Rd...), we thought "FINALLY" the cops are setting up a to get this drunk driver who by now has spent more time off the road than on the road...

We turn a bend and see the HWP had another car pulled over, turned his lights off and drove straight past us...to say I was ****ed was an understatement...we called Windsor LAC again and told them the HWP car just drove past us...we demanded they tell the car to turn around and catch up..."yeah we will" said the police...

Nothing...we entered Wilberforce and started turning off onto side streets still following this clearly drunk driver...out of amazement a P plater behind us, over took us and the "drunk driver" over double lines, almost hitting the swerving Prado in front....

We had had enough and pulled back before we end up in a collision with this idiot on the road...we were on some very quiet rural back roads and our safety became paramount so we reluctantly turned around headed home...

I am just amazed that people still take these risks these days and beyond astonished that the Police appeared to do very little to get this guy off the roads...

To be honest I am few up and at the point where I don't want to drive around the Hawkesbury's rural roads late at night....

Had to vent I guess, sorry for the long winded story...
