Quoted message said:OK, so Critical Mass kicked off tonight like usual in Melbourne.
After about 45 mins, a pack of about 40 of us were heading through Kensington, and all of a sudden
this guy in a grey Peugeot overtakes everyone really aggressively, damn near hitting one guy
before almost

and he slowed to a stop.

Quoted message said:Right now, he would be in a cell somewhere, sobering up.
From the CM newsgroup:
Dear Massers, I am asking for some help from you people. Last night some of you may have noticed a
certain driver in Epsom Road decide the mass was travelling too slow and overtake it. This driver is
facing CRIMINAL charges for this action. The relevant police member is saying that the drivers
actions were beyond dangerous.
But it is the usual story:-
"Your worship my name is Senior Constable 1 and I say this driver's actions nearly killed people"
"Come on Senior, you said that about the last driver that nearly killed someone"
"But your worship this time I really mean it."
"Okay Senior who else can corroborate what you say about this driver?"
"Well your worship that's the beauty of this case. This time I have a witness. My fellow collegue
Senior Constable 2 witnessed everything. In fact he was even a bit closer to the driver as he passed
us and heard the driver yell out: 'I've always wanted to drive so dangerously that I might kill
someone. Here is my perfect opportunity, people on bikes, hah hah.'"
(this story is fictitional. Any similarity to any real event or person is purely coincidental).
I would appreciate if any person affected or not by the Peugeot's actions last night, could you
contact my office on 9247 5517 (Particularly those riders who were close to the car when it came
to a stop) and leave your name and contact phone number. Senior Constable Carl BONI is dealing
with the matter, although all members in the office know about the incident. Or you could forward
your details over the internet to my personal email address [email hidden]'.
Thanks for your assistance.
