Fuck it, you wouldn't believe it.

Was out driving yesterday (yes with 4 wheels, doors and a roof ). Pulled out to pass a retarded country hick chick and got flashed to pull over by an oncoming copper. Once the cop had knocked down the speed from 126 to 113 and given me a small fine, he knocked it down on account of my attitude, i then introduced him to the cop in the car with me. I still got a ticket. Sort of good to know they don't play favourites. I suppose. Pissed me me off while they had a good little catch up - at my expense.

All part of the game i suppose. End of the day it was a fair cop. If your gonna speed, bend over and take it when the time comes. Just thought I'd share.

I feel your pain!!!....I think I'm paying for their Xmas party this year

Bummer mate.....at least it was knocked down a bit...gotta let them have a little revenue

How the hell are you supposed to overtake without speeding FFS

hmmm apparently overtaking is THE DEVIL according to the govt.. like its safer to sloooowly pass someone rather than giving it a quick dose of wahey! and getting it over with ASAP

would be nice if the $$ went towards FIXING THE FARKED UP ROAD SYSTEM rather that just propping up their piss poor budgeting ( hey lets get a $$$ consultant in to review that )

I'm quite happy to accept any gift from a cop...

I figure I donated plenty in my younger days but that was before they had computers so it doesn't show when they check up on your record.

Matt

just take it...as you said fair cop

Well spoken Matt, you sped you got booked you copped it on the chin. We are speed, we all have got booked, I guess some now how to take it better than others.

It is a double edged sword when overtaking, you want to do it quickly as possible but you are not meant to break the speed limit in doing so. Unfortunately we don't teach/ promote/ instruct the right road etiquette to start with. If you are clearly holding someone up, pull to the side and let them go, the attitude is I am doing the legal limit or not breaking any law so why should I move, because it is called being considerate!

Nick

That was generous of him dropping it from 126 to 113, saved you one point (3 instead of 4) and a few $. Considering doing 112 is only 1 point, isn't is amazing how many people are booked at 113

Yup not too bad all things considered.

Lucky you weren't on a bike, would have been doing more than 126

Why wasn't the cop in your car smacking you for speeding to begin with?

Cause they are all corrupt, unless on camera or voice record.

The gospel according to the law is if you need to speed you don't need to overtake.

Yes but as we all know...the law is an ass.
UK and US you are allowed a certain.....liberty... so as to overtake as quickly as possible.
Common fucken sense, that's why we don't have it here
Which leads me to my next post in joke thread.......................
