yankeedoodle 0 Posted January 19, 2011 Is what I got last night coming home from a mates, I overtook a marked volvo estate doing 60 in a 40 (yes yes what an idiot, should have been paying more attention etc etc)Anyway, he pulled me over and had me in the back of his car for a chat. Got the first ever points on my previously clean license (had it 3 years now)Luckily he said he would let me off the fine for the small number plate, so fair play to him, i appreciated that!Will be going down the station tonight for a slap on the wrist and to hand in my license.Needless to say I've slowed down a little bit Morale of the story kids, dont try racing a police car cos it will end in tears Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peejay 0 Posted January 19, 2011 I guess it's easily done, after all they're not really that obvious are they, I mean it's not as if they've got dayglo stripes all over them, loads of lights (blue and red) and big stickers saying POLICE, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smilinjack 0 Posted January 19, 2011 So it's deffo 3 pts & a £60 FPN? 60 in a 40 puts you close to summons territory. Looks to me like you got off light. Still a total shitter though m8, but we all have to lose our virginity sometime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yankeedoodle 0 Posted January 19, 2011 yes alan, got a fixed penalty notice and the copper said £60 and 3 points. I realise I got off lightly at that speed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eddie 0 Posted January 19, 2011 ouch , its all i can think of at the moment , apart from , the fact you overtook a copper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smilinjack 0 Posted January 19, 2011 Some years ago I overtook a carload of plods, think they may have been trainees or summat, on the M40. I was proper twatting it, about 140,and figured the worst thing I could do was slow down. Spent the next couple of weeks cacking it in case they'd clocked my number. Happily they obviously saw reason, or more likely didn't see my number plate. One of the luckiest days of my life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
