Default Nurburgring sticker saves the day! LOL

Me and a mate were just seeing how the car was performing as I have some fueling issues at the moment. I slapped another tenner in it, then we headed to the duel carrageways...

I flew up the first one and it was not running anything like it should. Came off a rounderbout in third and went straight over, hammered it through third and well into fourth and past three cars driving normally...

I thought the middle one was a honda or something, but it was a plain 307 cop car ROFL

Straight on my case..... looked in my mirror and they were in uniform... great!

So I went right round the next rounderbout and back where I'd come from, and he flashed me into a bus stop.

Asked me to get out of the car, which I did. Now a trick which has always stood me in good stead is look a Policeman straight in the eye and be polite, hes just doing his job remember.

"Whats the speed limit on here?"...... "40 mph mate"..

"How fast were you going".... "Well maybe a tiny bit quicker" (Not a ton much )

I could see he was thinking about the long speech, so before he could start I just went "Look, you don't need to tell me, I know thats bad driving, I'll calm it down" he replied saying "I'll not patronise you, I can see you understand..."

Then he saw my Nurburgring sticker (think he liked it LOL), he goes "Your not on the ring now son! If you want to see what your car can do go and take it on the motorway!"

Nice job mate..... so I did ROFL

So not all coppers are bad, its far from the first time I've been delt with a word instead of a penalty. Treat them well and if they are semi-human they will be fine with you!

Copper pulled me the other day after I'd nailed the Cossie without seeing the cop car behind me, I said "sorry, I'll calm it down" and looked all sheepish, he sent me on my way without even a producer
