If however they are committing offences then they can obviously be dealt with but the Police would have to catch then first and from experience, this is not easy as the officer would have to be there at the time and would have to be able to physically stop them (not as easy as it sounds). If however, their actions are causing a nuisance, they could be given a warning under section 59 of the Police reform act which basically means that their manner of driving has caused some annoyance or distress and they are warned to behave. If they don't, they can have their vehicles seized and disposed of if necessary. This is something that would have to be proved or witnessed by an officer though so again not easy to do but not impossible. Hope this helps<br><b>References : </b><br>UK Copper I'll give you an honest sensible answer instead of inciting criminal damage (tyre slashing) or further offences of causing danger to a vehicle on a road (piano wire across the road etc) or wasting Police time by false reporting of an accident (£80 ticket-able offence) etc etc

They'll drive up in there all to obvious police cars and start nattering to the little b****ers trying to make them see reason!

Keep a diary, and film footage is also useful. I have recently won a case very similar and the culprits have received asbo's. I now have peace and quiet and the street is a uch safer place. It is useful to get your neighbours backing as this will strenghthen your complaint. Good Luck.<br><b>References : </b><br> This is almost certainly a statutory nuisance and you need to contact the enviromental health dept at your local council and possibly the highways dept.

You have the right to request that. Possibly take a petition around to the neighbors requesting the special enforcement and have them sign it. There is little that you can do ... oh! maybe you could request speed bumps to be put in! That works in our neighborhood.<br><b>References : </b><br> A shotgun always seems to do the trick! ;-) Outside of that, there isn't much unless you complain to local police and see if they can set up some enforcement in that area.
