Escapism

[Feasty]

So for the 2nd time in my 47 years of being alive, and first time on the bike - I've been pulled.

On a trip out down the motorway and noticed a car up my backside, got past a speed camera and did something I've not done before at that speed, dropped 2 gears and floored it. Was so quick, and a great feeling until I noticed the car gradually catching up with me, then yep you've guessed it - blues n 2's...

Apparently I was clocked around 95 and he had to go a whole lot more to catch me up. Extremely luckily I was left off with a stern word - I'll certainly be more careful in future!

Sounds like incitement.

Whilst it's always scary seeing blue lights behind you, I find it's a lot less worrying as I get older. It's gone from the feeling of "3 more points and I'm totally screwed" to "Whatever they throw at me will be inconvenient but not life changing".

So whilst the desire to do silly things happens less frequently, I can enjoy it more when it happens. Just need to avoid a disqualification, retaking a test would be shit.

I'm amazed that you are all scared of them.

If I'm bang to rights, so be it. If I'm not its an excuse to take the piss.

I admit you have to be clever about it, but I am...

If there’s one thing the police love it’s a smart arse.

It's easy to say about spotting these unmarked cars, but when it's behind you with lights on you're never going to spot dark shapes in the grill in bike mirrors or if they're wearing high viz - truck mirrors maybe!

The car was a black Mondeo with a dog in the back, he was all in black so no high viz and I was told if the video footage went to court I'd be looking at a 12month ban.
