Sadly they were driving a traffic car at the and they have reported me for no insurance
This happened just as I had come off a roundabout,a bit off boost in second and a quick change to 3rd an 4th and rolling along.
They were coming the other way,on goes the brake lights
I was already out of the car at the shop when they got to me with the how fast were you going line,35mph ish was my reply.Anyway in the car playing good cop bad cop<driver I didnt get a bollocking just got threatened with taking my car off me.It wasnt picked up by the ANPR but it comes back on PNC as no insurance held,they tried to ring my insurance which must have been shut being it was about half seven,took my details,had my mobile number gave me no paperwork and let me on my way Oh and my liciense is registerd at an address from at least 6years ago
I rang the local number when I got in and they can not find record of it,wtf
Anyhoo I didnt get any points and there is still 6months left on my policy,I even checked on askmid when I took the policy out.
Rant over.

so what are you ranting about? being pulled for driving to fast or for them giving you the benefit of the doubt and letting you go on your way even though their computer was telling them you had no insurance and they could have siezed your car?
sounds fair enough to me.

Or the fact that you only got pulled by a couple of birds in uniform rather than tugged

Tugged obviously
Fuzzy I wouldnt consider 5-7 mph faster over the speed limit just as I have pulled off as the worlds biggest crime.Its the fact as I have done probably 4000 miles this year even down to south devon and no one else has batted an eyelid,I just think as she was being pissy imo seeing as no paperwork was handed over.

It's still against the law whether its 3mph, or 100mph

Do you drive ?,if so you have never broken the speed limit 3mph or whatever ?Your speedo is probably that inacurate in the first place
I didnt have the fucking thing sideways around the roundabout and whale off ffs,I give up.

Nowhere in my post did i say I'd never broken the speed limit (and yes, i do drive)
maybe read the posts made before going on the attack?

fuzzy

i drive fast as fuck but when i get caught i dont complain because theyve let me off easy.

TOMMY_RS

i no this is nothing to be proud of, and seen as i coudl get my bike took off me for it,
but i have done 60+ mph through 30 zones many of times.. and no i am nt bragging, i am just sayin think every one has and does speed..

Oranoco

Differemt roads and circumstances makes some places innappropriate to do the limit whilst others can be exceeded quite safely

fuzzy

ive had 20 years worth of driving bans. ive been done for 132 in a 60. i wont preach about speeding. i say you got of lightly when they could have fucked you over. thats a fair result that should be accepted gracefully .

jammy86

You were lucky, plenty of people get their cars taken off them until it is proven they have insurance.

JAmes.

Graham88

20 years!?!?! Jesus christ that sucks

Iain Mac

4000 miles!!! Crikey, you are fairly racking up the driving experience because that's ....





... not a lot!


I picked up my current car 30 September then parked it at the airport for a fortnight while I went on holiday, and it's now got 4500 miles on it.

fuzzy

all fully deserved. in fact id say ive got away lightly as well for some of the shite i did in my youth.

RUPERT THE BIG HAIRY BEAR

seems to be another pointless thread for people to be big headed in

fuzzy

try clicking on another thread or even better go watch the tv then. or perhaps read a book. motoring offences is something i can offer plenty of wisdom in as there wont be many with a worse record than me.
