Haverfordwest: Boy racer arrested for dangerous roundabout drift

Caught on camera: Dangerous stunt on Cardigan roundabout
RESIDENTS of Hermitage Grove, in Haverfordwest, were left unimpressed this week ends at the antics of a boy racer drifting around the A40 Cardigan roundabout, which back on to their homes.
The noisy and inconsiderate driver, put himself and others in danger according to one neighbour, who posted a dramatic video of the incident on Facebook.
“He did it at 9pm on Saturday night, and at 12.38pm on Sunday morning. At 9pm the road was still quite busy.
“I find it disgusting that some people have found this funny [on Facebook].
“I have been told who the driver is, and I understand the incident has been reported to the police.
“Im not saying the control of the car wasn’t good, but it should be done off-road. That road can be used for emergencies to the hospital. The driver could cause accidents, kill himself or others.”
On Thursday, (Nov 5), Pembrokeshire Roads Policing Unit announced on Twitter: “A 20yr old male has been arrested and a vehicle seized in connection with a video posted on @PembsHerald this week.”
The police added: “Enquiries are ongoing.”

Disqualified fisherman caught driving BMW
Court hears driver had ‘made dreadful decision’
A PEMBROKESHIRE fisherman has appeared before magistrates after being caught driving while disqualified.
David Morgan, 42, was stopped by police on December 29 while driving a BMW on the A413 at Penally.
Officers established that Morgan was uninsured and already serving a 16-month driving ban following a drug-driving conviction.
His solicitor Mike Kelleher told the court that Morgan had driven after receiving distressing news about a close family member.
“He went out to clear his head and made a dreadful decision,” he said.
Mr Kelleher added that Morgan’s son is confined to a wheelchair and his wife does not drive, meaning a further ban would cause hardship.
Magistrates chose not to impose a further disqualification. Morgan was fined £500 and ordered to pay a £200 surcharge and £85 costs. His licence was endorsed with six penalty points.

Whoever snitches on the driver needs to be found and their life made hell horrible little cretins. Can’t stand people that are not team players sad little person that’s reported this. In the words of Jeremy Clarkson “take them out and execute them infront of their family”

Look at it this way old man. Drifting is a sport, one that costs alot of money to fund. With not many tracks around the country that allow this “sport” the youngsters of today (some idiots some sensible).. use the roads as a training area. this has been for the last 10 years and nothing will change. What you have done is lost a boys licence that actually had some quality car control. now he will probably end up like you. with a boring life.

Lmao the roads may have been busy at 9 but evidently they’re empty at half 12 in the morning.
You’d have to be deaf and blind to come into a collision with this vehicle, you can hear the exhaust note echoing so it’s clearly extremely loud, combined with the screeching tyres, it works in the same way a siren does on emergency services.
Clearly the driver is skilled. Nobody is at harm. If you can drift a roundabout, you can exit the drift and move out if the way in due time if required.
The only real case she has Is that she would need sleep for work or something…but that’s not the case as she’s a full time slummy mummy with nothing better to do.

Being the owner of a R33 nissan skyline, I often get accused of being a boy racer, the difference between me and them is simple. I recognise that roads are for driving. Its as simple as that, I want to go for a skid, I go to a track day, and don’t use my shitbox “drift” car on public highways endangering people who could get in my way, because as in control as the kid maybe, you have to recognize that the majority of regular drivers are crap and they are more likely to plow into you because they don’t know how to react.. Keep drifting where it belongs, on the track. All the other “racers” on here praising the lad, need to grow up.

So anyone who’s not into Motorsport is not a team player and should have their life made hell. I’m amazed by some of the moronic comments on here, everyone’s entitled to a quiet nights sleep and for the public roads to be used sensibly.
And before any of you idiots want to accuse me of being some boring cretin I get my petrol Highs doing a real mans Motorsport – rallying!! And if that means travelling the country to get to events well that’s the cost of this kind of sport

Lovely bit of drifting sad thing is these car guys have nowhere where they’re allowed to meet up and do they’re own thing due to the councils , police and other whinging old gits why not allow them to use an area away from housing to have a bit of fun in peace but of course that would be the easy option

@ Mr Octane:
Dude, I live soaked in adrenaline, but I’ve seen a lot of people not come home after racing in controlled conditions on a track, let alone a public road early in the night.
so yeah, just saying, people die racing, people also die on public roads because they think they’re good drivers. So as much as we all like racing around and following rallies, these people complaining aren’t wrong.
Also, my sex life is fucking bangin’

Snitches, 10/10 drift even the police and the courts will deduct points from his license because of that execution may even receive an MBE. Better than turning a blind eye to the greater dangers of night clubs and bars that seem to be ignored.

All I hear is annoying twats prrrraping up and down the hill behind me, It used to be everytime I hear that I knew the guy was doing like 80 over a hump bridge before hitting a tight bunch of corners at like 3am when I lived in Gelli.
Something that again you shouldn’t do, but at least needs more than basic rear wheel spin control.
nowadays, in town, I know it’s some twat with a slammed car that has probably never been on a track going back and forth on the road at 30 echoing all over the place at least 10 times a night, keeping everyone up.
Yeah I’d snitch on that cockwomble for being 10/10 annoying as fuck, much like the loud twats that come out of the clubs and pubs.

This fool is the type of clown that gives good drift drivers a bad name…….he plays around on public roads in his high powered car.irrespective of what skill he/she may have.wtf you driving like a tool on a public road.if your serious enough about your sport keep it on the track..and as for the comments about whinging about noise..next time you see a shift worker or hospital or emergency sevice waorkers looking knackered, it might just be that clowns like this keep them awake as they work shifts……this clown carries on its just a matter of time before he/she gets too cocky and ends up in an A&E bed if he/she is lucky enough to survive.and obviously doesnt give a crap about the LEGAL drivers on the road otherwise he/she wouldnt drive like a knob on a busy roundabout……..hope he/she gets what he deserves and gets taken off the road before he/she seriously injures or worse kills someone else, he/she obviosuly doesnt care about him/herself so why should we? moron.keep it on the track.otherwise your just another boy racer who cant grow up…..

@ Omar:
Like to see him/her come out of a drift in a hurry if theres an emergency vehicle incoming onto the roundabout…..the fool wont be able to hear the sirens due to the screaming of his/her own car.he WILL NOT have the time to correct his angle, reduce his speed and get off the roundabout in a safe method he drops his speed in a hurry he will lose it. he so much as taps his brakes he will lose it.he slams his brakes on he will lose it…………….but then who am i obviously someone who doesnt know how to drive as people think their Ayrton Senna’s……and i lay odds he would scream like a baby f he has to get cut of out the car……WHEN he has an accident…if your serious about your spot, you willd find a track doesnt matter where it is like other real drivers they go to track days…….

I worked for the local paper for 25 years and at least once a year, often around christmas time there would be a photo of a mangled car and another grieving family preparing themselves for a funeral. It was nearly always a boy in his twenties driving what he thought to be his pride and joy hatchback “racer”. And do you know what – seconds before the engine block came through the dash board into his chest – he was still convinced he was invincible and totally in control of the car. I knew two personally having coached them in sport. They were great lads who probably thought they “were in control” but actually the adrenaline of speed was in control of them.
