Was thinking similar mate. I'm heading down to preston on saturday to look at a mk5 gti with/for my wife and although it's a totally different area if something like this happened it could really screw up the journey as I'm on a tight schedule. The "organisers" of these things don't seem to be firing on all cylinders when trying to plan ahead. Selfish pricks, some would say.

More than likely get kicked out of a carpark, plus I feel for you, but if it's the weekend, then not much they can do. Most people work all week and wanna enjoy the weekend

@@NewHandle_ Totally agree with people wanting to let loose and play with their toys at the weekend. Just can't agree with using a motorway service station for a meet though, backing everyone out onto a 70mph zone is just asking for trouble. Can't blame the police at all for putting a stop to this one, but using the armed response unit was definitely overkill!

just go there at a different time then

@@JackScooter17 mate that’s not how it works 😂

Someone with common sense these comments are daft

Why are you here? Clearly on the wrong side of KZfaq if you're complaining.

@Jay W not really, just considerate of others.

@@jayw9833 That makes no sense. If the car community doesn't want to be challenged about what they're doing, then they must be doing something wrong.

What a stupid comment

People are breaking the law. I mean there's evidence in this video alone. It doesn't matter whether you agree with the laws or not, doesn't even matter if the officers themselves agree or not. Their job is to enforce the laws. If people didn't break laws at car meets, the police wouldn't need to attend. If you want to blame someone, blame the nobs doing burnouts or drifting on public roads. Also it's not like traffic officers are interchangeable with serious crime detectives or armed drug enforcement units. If they weren't at this meet they wouldn't be off catching murderers and drug lords

Damn you are whiny. These are crimes

@@shia_labeouf That's mostly true, but everything you said is negated by the fact that there is a police drone in the air. Legally, the police can take videos of crimes being committed using the drone, and as long as they get the license plates of the vehicles, it can work the same as a speed camera. They don't need to be there. They could literally just sit in their cars and film the whole thing, sending out letters to all the offenders after the fact or have cars stationed around the area, looking for the specific worst offenders that might potentially have fake plates. This would actually generate them more revenue. As for your final point, there are armed police officers attending this meet which invalidates your argument.

@@shia_labeouf stopping people from entering a public area is not enforcing the law they just act like this cuz their the only ones with guns stupid pigs

Who cares about EV bays. Block them out at all costs 😂

What do you expect from wankers

As an EV owner, why don't they fine the ICE drivers using the Ionity bays.

Are you so stupid you don't see the irony? We all know people turning up in "tricked up cars" are there for the meet. No doubt parking in bay after bay after bay for which is intended for customers, not for "car fans" to stand around and gawp at each other's heavily modified (and no doubt many of which don't have mods declared) cars. If you watch it they actually allowed people in stock cars in.... I doubt anyone actually going to "Get food" or "shopping" or whatever was denied access. The irony is "car meets" take up far more spaces in retail parks and service stations..... never understood the attraction to a car met. I drive a 3 litre BMW, I like cars, I like driving them fast, sure.... But would I go and stand in a car park to gawp and go "Wow, look at that 500 quid clio that they've spent 3 grand on bodykits, spoilers, fancy wheels and a glittery paintjob on"? No. SOME of the cars at car meets are genuinely nice. Half of them are just utter shitboxes owned by chavs who spend all their money on mods and no money on maintenance. Mate of mine was into the car meet scene, spent all his money buying a classic mini (A registered mini) from the 60s I think he said it was. He spent thousands doing it up, thousands on all if it's electrical wiring issues, he probably spent in excess of £15k in the 2-3 years he owned it. Last I saw it he advertised it for sale for £10k and he was struggling to sell it.

No. Because you can't just have fun. I mean who do you think you are, a human?!

No

There used to be. The problem was people turning up reving engines pop's and bangs then the loud music. If people just turned up respectful and park the cars look at each others car's and chatted their be no problem. But people driving like fools and reving engines is what killed it. You can see people in this video doing the same things. They are the people to blame

@@chriscollins550 What's so bad about reving an engine?

There are plenty of places to go... 🤷🏽‍♂️

no it was the fact everyone was there yes there was reving but that’s not enough to shutdown the road they just abused there power by denying people who literally did nothing and are just arriving

@@ethanlollie cry more

@@ethanlollie Can tell by just the way you type that you're not all there

It’s cobham services mate they’re being a pain keeping truckers up with their stupid pop and bang maps while they’re taking legally mandated breaks and blocking EV charging bays, I hate EV’s as much as the next man but that’s Cobham Services off the m25 it’s hardly some car park. Grow up.

I need to use it more! Were you the 2nd owner?

One of the most well behaved meets I’ve been to aswell

Yet again pigs with so called authority spoiling what is a more or less legal avent freaking out issuing fking orders as usual. Ten or fifteen years ago you would not have had this, there would probably be a patrol car parked up at either end incase hooligans are too happy with the throttle. Why the fk did they need armed police there with fking dogs? Resources that we are all help pay for used and abused

They obviously do, you just watch car meet videos instead of police catching "real criminal" videos :D

they definitely do mate, it’s kind of a big problem when every single vehicle on the m25 can’t stop for fuel or charge at that service station including hgv drivers needing rest after driving for a full day.

Your Aldi frozen meals won’t arrive if these idiots block off the trucks

You have to take a 45 minute break every 4.5 hours. If you don't you can be fined. After 9 hours of driving you have to take a 3 hour break then can drive another 9 hours but after that you MUST take an 11 hour break at a minimum. You should stop at 9 hours for a minimum of 9.

I don’t think it that why the police came tho I personally thought too many people came

complaining about this is like when people complained about street racing< we built dragstrips but people moved near them and complained they shut the strips and we went on the streets again. The only reason they do this is because the police refuse to give permission on the lots they used to have

i doubt it will be accurate

I will put money on it that it will be a load of track suit wearing TURDS thinking they're the next Lewis Hamilton whilst driving some shit box 1ltr playing up for the camera.

Remember folks: If it doesn't agree with your perspective, it's "biased".

They get told that the car parks are off limits, shopping malls are off limits, where should they meet?

No. Everyone loves them so I shall continue.

At the beginning of this video I loved Chloe’s side boob but ain’t going to keep on about it 👍🏼

The average UK policeman is extremely low IQ and cant be trusted with a tazer let alone a gun.

Because they don't have many units with guns, so why are they sending them to a car meet rather than to break up people with knives or guns.

"not tonight not not tonight, your not on the list"

its DOWN not DAN, but yeah

@@BuffaloDoctor It's a joke. Gotta say it in a cockney accent.

yeah but armed police and a dog its just a car meet ffs

@@2jzwithabigsingle882police aren’t gonna stand at the roadside and watch cars using up 2 spaces each revving away while every vehicle on the m25 can’t get fuel, charge, and lorry drivers can’t get any rest if they’ve been driving all day. that’s sort of a problem that needs dealing with

@@2jzwithabigsingle882 if you read the laws you’d know one of the human rights is the right to protest, the problem going on right now is the people blocking roads claim they are doing it as a protest and police officers get in a lot of hot water for removing that human right from someone, clearly in this situation this wasn’t the case, they just blocked the road for the fun of it.

@@2jzwithabigsingle882 I’ll be honest i don’t agree with it either because although it’s technically a “peaceful protest” because they don’t use violence to spread their message they clearly inconvenience loads of people. But because it’s a peaceful protest technically if police officers remove them they’re taking away that human right and they get in a lot of trouble, it’s just a bit of a grey area in the law

You just need to join all the little groups and ask around.

@@Redmist.65 yeah I'm in a fair few but these seem pretty extra, any suggestions?? South Wales kinda way

Yes, that's because you're seeing a zoomed video, whereas I was stood too far away to note if it was a gun or a holstered taser.

@@AdamC3046 wasnt having a go bud , was laughing at way you said it 😉

I was thinking the same (not just because I have a Subaru). The police were just making assumptions based on your vehicle, and I bet they wouldn’t give an opportunity to explain, without threatening arrest/ fine etc. 🙄

You're right, the US is so much better with everyone having guns....when was your last school shooting? Ours was 1996.

whats funny is you actually think youll be allowed to still drive a car in a couple of years haha

They already do...

Or you could all club together, buy a piece of land and fund your own hobby? A fisherman doesn't get all his gear provided free of charge, does he? Does someone who does archery get a bow and arrow, and somewhere to shoot free of charge? What about paintballing.... could one just stroll into a forest with a paintball gun and start shooting it as dog walkers pass by? I find it absolutely hilarious that "car meet guys" seem to have a sense of entitlement that someone should just "give them" a piece of land so they can destroy it. If most of you can afford relatively new cars either on finance or paid outright, and afford to modify them, then i'm sure you can all club together and buy some land to use for "car meets". Ultimately it's called "self entitlement" and car meet people seem to have it in an abundance. I like cars... I drive a BMW 335D with a 3 litre engine, 308BHP and 0-60 in about 4.6 seconds but I don't "expect" someone to hand me something free of charge so I can enjoy the car and I most certainly would not stand around in a car park gazing at other's cars and listening to an exhaust go "pop" or spitting flames out of it.

@@thefiestaguy8831 does it not occur to you that if people did do that they'd get fucked over by council planning law?

No you wouldn't.... that's the whole point of it. They literally allow racetracks to be built so I'm sure a car park here or there wouldn't be a major issue. Car meet people are just too tight fisted and would rather spend money on a Halfords special exhaust. Don't know what it is with car people but they act so entitled as if someone should fund their hobby despite the fact they clearly have the money to fund it themselves since they spend so much on their clapped out motors. @@Kav.​

It's NOT public parking in the sense you think it is. it's a service station, that land is owned by either a private company or a collection of private companies. Technically speaking that slip road is also a "road" so the police can control access to it. I have no doubt the landowners don't want a bunch of men with extremely loud cars taking up all the spaces so that customer's can't use them. Where I am there is a regular car meet where a bunch of idiots (yes - they are) literally turn a 3 lane roundabout into a 1 lane roundabout, all of the 5 exits are covered with parked cars and on one of the approach roads which is also 3 lanes they literally park for several hundred metres in lanes 1 and 2. Where does it say in the highway code - "Park your car in a lane of traffic and block it completely if you feel like it, so you can stand around and watch other people drift around roundabouts"?

It's not all about speed
