Finally...some police that arn't that bad!

[Matthie]

Last night my friend and I got pulled over by some police going through a nearby town after going the back roads to it. It was about 11.30pm, the roads were empty and we both love *not racing along * pitch black roads (because that would be dangerous)

We were going through this town at about 50mph in a 40mph when the dreaded blue lights appeared behind us so we pulled over in an industrial estate.

When we got off they never really told us a reason why they stopped us untill we asked and it was beacuse they didn't think I had an L plate on the back of my bike (which I do). I think they were just abit bored and fancied pulling someone tbh (they said they were happy with our speed).

But they checked over our bikes and had a laugh about me having no mirrors (long story but not my fault). They did all the reg checks and licence / person checks. Turned out that they were both bikers themselves so offered some advice about the rear lights on my friends bike ect ect.

After this they breifly mentioned (with a smile) that they know that our bikes are probally modified/derestricted but they won't do anything about it but traffic coppers will and off they went.

Shame they didn't notice that my friend's bike has no MOT (due to it failing because of leaking front forks which are being replaced this week) and no tax because he has no MOT. We also both have carbon fibre race cans but this probally comes under what they said about modified/derestricted.

So some decent coppers at last who actually let the little petty things go

Cheers,

M

They done a reg check, and didn't notice that the bike had no tax or MOT.

Dont really see what your trying to get at there

Major speeding?

I stick to 30 limits such as town centres etc
Everything else is use your common sense as far as im concerned

I got pulled for having a broken back light on a country dual carriageway at about 12am. Din't actually realise it was out until I was stopped. After a bit of me trying to unscrew my rear light to have a look at the bulb he got bored and said he wasnt going to make me walk home. Told me to be careful and buggered off. Sound chap i thought

Noo, anything above 10mph is where the fun starts

its nice to see some smaller bike riders who are not the typical ped boi's! Planning on doing your A2 test?

seems there was just a bit of misunderstanding

All they will have done is check them against the stolen bikes data and obviously came up as being legit.

Some Police are top people, I got pulled over doing over 50mph in a 20mph zone (the road is huge and open but in the daytime school children walk past to to get to a nearby school) because the road was empty and it was past midnight, the copper let me off after making sure I was insured and telling me the traffic cops wouldn't be so pleasant.

Seriously, riding with no MOT is not a laugh.

I was taken off my bike by a copper on his way to work a couple of months ago, only to find that my MOT had expired a week earlier, I had completely forgot. The bike was a write off and the insurance company was involved, what followed was weeks of absolute torment, would I get prosocuted, would the insurance pay out?

Luckily I managed to sort it thanks to a mate at a MOT station, but if I wasn't so lucky it would be goodbye bike, and therefore my only way to work. My job lost, with a 5 month old baby and a mortgage.

Just don't risk it.

If they let you ride off without an MOT then that's more than the petty things. Imagine you'd gone round the corner and your mate crashes into a spanking new BMW. Now he has to pay out of his own pocket.
