i was in a bad mood,car was going lovely and was on a nice stretch of dual caridgeway.

i saw lights coming up behind fast so i slowed down to about 80,the car followed me for a bit then blue lights.oh well i thought was nice owning an s.


i stopped,got out and approached the traffic cop.


he said everything alright sir.i said no i am an idiot and was speeding,sorry.


he then said thats a nice car,i am not going to do you for speeding but you must realise that doing those speeds could get you banned etc.

we had a nice chat about the lack of patrol cars on the roads.


funnily i dont feel like i got away with it.but i do feel more concious about speeding now.

 

Lucky git!

Tends to mean that he didn't manage to get a full reading of your speed, unless he used laser from a bridge or side of a road.

This is the thing - Most Coppers are decent people. Its just that they are pressured to hit targets to make up 'Statistics'.

 

I had a similar thing. It basically means that they have no proof. And TBH I think it's just as good a deterrent, if not moreso being pulled over and having a chat.

 

My 3 points came from getting flashed doing 38mph. I thought it was a 40 zone until I saw the camera go off

I admit this isn't as exciting a tale as all your high-speed stories

 

I recently got caught doing an average 89.7mph on a national speed limit single carriageway and got 3 points and a

 

I got stopped doing something similar whilst on the phone too.

They just told me to use my handsfree (it was in the car, I just too lazy to wear it on that day) next time.

 

Got caught doing an average of 99.6, had a nice little chat, 3 points and
