Today I was pulled by police,
No restriction
No Tax (waiting for log book)
Undertaking a line of cars at double the speed limit.
Got off with a lecture
I was bricking myself, let me explain though it's not as bad as it seems, I still haven't got my logbook through from the DVLA once i get it I will get tax. The roads was the A13 it was by Becton it is a 3 lane road (basically a twisty motorway) with a 40 limit, I decided to blast past a line of cars in the middle lane with a police car behind me noob error. After ending up in the outside lane I was doing about 90 and I see blue flashing lights in my mirrors.
I pulled off the A13 and pulled up in safe location, bloke comes over and starts a lecture mostly about how the majority of drivers in Newam are Asians or Africans and have shit heap motors with no tax mot or anything, He didn't really say anything about my riding other than I shouldn't have undertaken the car. He said I needed to calm down and called my bike a beast (TDM900) He didn't even ask my name! I was so releaved. I'm fairly sure the only reason he didn't fuck me was because although I undertook people and was speeding he could see I was riding well if that makes sencepulling over properly etc. I also think the fact the bike is sensible helped alot to. So happy right now. ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.

Never forget getting pulled over for having a mate sat backwards on the pillion seat of my rf.
Riding around bust town centre on a Friday night showing off loads of backfires and one wheel action.
My mate wanted a mcdonalds so we went and got him one from the drive threw still sat backwards had a bit of banter with some van drivers then back to town to show off.
Spotted the blue lights coming down the road pulled in and they lit us up. My mate was still sipping his drink and waving at the cops
Poh-leese showed up from the next county
They had been watching us on cctv for a good 30 mins before coming down.
Wanted to ticket my mate for sitting incorrectly but theres now law stating he couldn't sit the wrong way.
Let us go with a better rider course thingy.

I live in Newham and that policeman is damn right about the cagers here... the standard of driving is utter shit, as a cyclist or motorcyclist you take your life into your own hands when you go out... Example: I get abuse from these cunts every time I stop outside a box junction and wait for traffic ahead to clear so I won't be sitting in it. Also happens when I stop in front of one of those KEEP CLEAR areas. I'm not getting fined for their impatience, fuck them! Yesterday, was waiting to turn right at the end of a one way street, guy in a 4x4 pulls up on my left beside me wanting to do the same (!) and tries to undertake me on the right turn! I sound my horn then he later turns right and makes some sort of gesture, but I think he lost control a bit as he did it, too bad he didn't crash.
It's a daily thing here.  ____________________ CBT February 2008 | A2 June 2008 | Yamaha YBR125 (written off) | Honda CBF125 (current) |

The highway code is guidance and thus has no basis in law, it can only be used to back up law, so if you crashed whilst having a pillion backwards then it could be classed as a contributing factor, but the actual act of having a pillion riding backwards isn't illegal. ____________________ My Flickr |

Back OT, I am always kinda wary on the A13. On the way home (London to Southend direction) i slow down a little when there are cars joining the A13 from the side slip road because i've seen police cars parked up right behing those slip road walls with speed guns... because my bike can achieve over 100mph according to some kids these days
and +1 being cautious with those newham cagers!!  ____________________ www.artridertraining.co.uk |
