Default speeding

Not me but a mate, my mate rang me last night and he was really panicking, he's been clocked by an unmarked cop car doing 70 in a 30mph zone.
He said he overtook a taxi last night and he notciced that when he overtook the taxi a mondao over took it as well, followed him and then after a bit they blue lighted him. He stopped the car, panicking, they pulled ip beside him and said to him " we just clocked u doing 70 in a 30 zone" cop says u were in a bit of a hurry he said he lnew he was speedin but he wasnt doin 70 he was in a hurry because his girlfriend was in distress so the cop says to him thats what ambulances are for. then they said your on your way to losing your licence and they just drove off without asking him anything or giving him a producer they just drove off. and now he is really panicking-mind u he did say he recognised one off the coppers as somebody he used to play football with.should he be panicking or what? He is worrying that he is gonna get band.

Would have thought if they were going to do anything they would have said so at the time.

they have to read you the "you do not have to say anything" line... once done this means you are being cautioned and probaly will get ya arse spanked.... you will have to sign something to say you agree and you will normally get a hort1 slip...
if notjujst sit back and think about the lucky escape you have just had and take it as a warning that next time you will get fooked over....

hes fine, even if reported he gets a slip filled in if hes been tugged, its only if he never stops that the report turns into a letter asking to attend the police station to discuss the matter,,, or if you live in the sticks they knock on your door at 8pm(ish)

ive had the old bill say that to em a few times,, one time when i wasnt even speeding belive it or not

tell him not to worry about it


dan cossie got a tug for doing a little over 30 and when he got out the car then dragged him to the floor and cuffed him then checked his details and he STILL got away with it,,, though he did fly past a copper comming the other way at 33mph or maybe a little more
