Good result. And yes, I've had that "I had to do 50 to catch you!" outraged spluttering by Constable McRighteous.

Why only half their legal fees in compo? Half an injustice is still an injustice.

They admitted nudging the 70 limit upwards, therefore many kittens need counselling. Hence, only 1/2 costs back.

Half costs is fairly standard no? I've no idea why, it always seems rather insulting to me. Yes you're innocent so we'll cover a bit of the cost and none of the massive fcking ballache of proving your innocence against no evidence on a malicious charge. Off you trot now, and be grateful about it.

I've successfully argued my innocence like this multiple times.
I did however once get stung with a FPN (I think) for a smaller than normal plate. Wondering how they could 'prove' that if I disputed that and went to court. Don't remember them taking any pictures, but again they could have had in car dash camera running.

It's rather silly, isn't it? They're barely overtaking the traffic - I'd have executed them for lane hogging, rather than speeding.

Just another red mist tacheboi wanting a chase. There's only one dangerouse rider on that road.

94 mph for 6 seconds? Woopdy fuckin do! I wipe in a circular motion.

"I had to go ***mph just to catch you". Well then you shouldnt have caught me then you hypocritical prick! I hate this do as we say, not as we do attitude from the police. They should teach by example.

So what is the best excuse to give to a traffic cop these days?

[Ste]

Something to do with how you don't have a wiper for your visor therefore it's not your fault.

That and the way your posts smell like spam.

It's an old thread, but the last time I got nicked for speeding was 20yrs ago this month. Going West on the Talgarth Road and up onto the elevated section of M4 over Chiswick. It used to be 60 limit, reduced to 50, then 40. Almost empty of traffic 40mph seems artificially low, and the Renault Espace in front was doing the same speed as me and 100yds ahead. We were doing 50 - 55 and it still felt slow.

I'd spotted a white car way back at the start of the elevated, but too far away to determine what it was. Down off the elevated and just before the 70 I found out - right on my tail with a quick blast on the siren. Espace driver thought it was for him, and he dived onto the hard shoulder, but cleared off when he saw his luck.

The donut eaters declared I must have been doing 70, as they had to do that to catch me. I politely pointed out that they would have had to do 70 to catch me at all. Their VASCAR showed I averaged just over 50. Day before my birthday too - they wished me happy returns.

Vegans. Well if that winds your clock that's fine, but when I get grief about my violence to living animals by eating a bit of meat now and then, or some tasty cheese, or dunking a Digestive, I'm inclined to put the straight throughs on.

Nothing like the smell of a few rashers in the pan, or a bit of roast chicken.

Wonder what roast remainer tastes like . . . a bit like Hitler on toast maybe. . . I didn't say that did I?
