Alan Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Driving home from work this morning (yeah I was in the car) deserted road, 30 mph limit and I'm doing about 40. A car comes hurtling up behind me so I slow down. suddenly there's these blue flashing lights in me mirrors. I pull up at the side of the road and wind the window down. Officer asks me why he pulled me up so I said I didn't know. He informed me that I was doing 50 mph and he had to get a shift on to catch me up! He asked me my name to check ownership of car,asked me if I'd been drinking (I hadn't), told him I was on me way home from work - he asked me where I worked and I told him. He let me go - no ticket or nothing. Same scenario but with a camera 40 mph in a 30 limit and FLASH fixed penalty fine and three points on your licence! Police good cameras bad! The really funny thing about this is - I took the car in for MOT yesterday and replaced the blown number plate light bulb and a brake light bulb (they hadn't been working for a fortnight) I only did the bulbs because of the MOT!

Smitty Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I'd say that he'd have no camera evidence and couldn't do a thing about it. And ive had a cop pull me over for riding my push bike home @ 1am, wasn't speeding, wasn't doing anything just crusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
