94 in a 70 (Mway)

Decided in my infinite wisdom to undertake and give a 'WTF idiot' stare to a silver Jag XF hogging lane 3 this morning.

After this, and the further two undertakes on dawdling commuters, you can imagine my suprise when that same silver Jag comes tearing up behind with blues and two's on....

Police

Clocked at 94 between two fixed points (he showed me the screen readout) but refused to show me the video. In the end I accepted the 3 points and £60 fixed penatly bribe with good grace.

Ho-hum. That'll teach me for lack of obs.

At least he didn't try for the undertake, that would have taken the piss. The speeding you can't really argue with.

Who's driving without due care?

the person sitting in lane 3, not moving to the left and not aware whats going on around him?

Or the person sitting in lane 2, fully aware of whats going on, and taking the decision to undertake, still fully observing whats goin on around him.

Utterly rediculas law, another of many that needs to be moved forward. All lane overtaking like America ftw.

Paddy made a thread about a unmarked XF in Kent...

And you just know that copper is going to boot it all the way home after his shift, undertaking and cutting folk up like a proper mental.

[/quote]So you allowed yourself to be ring-raped when there was no evidence?[/quote]

What do you think the display is? I think that was a reasonable way of dealing with the offence on behalf of the cop at 94 Mph, could have been much worse if you'd have come up against a jobsworth.

Why would you want to put yourself in a position of danger by undertaking a few cars at motorway speed is beyond me. Everyone knows that car drivers are not the best at looking in their mirrors and finding that you are not liable for the accident isn't going to help you when you end up in intensive care or six foot under.

I got pulled in my Alfa one night for coming up behind some twat in a deserted motorway sitting in the centre lane. I swerved round him/her and cut back into the inside line. A few hundred yards later, blue lights, siren, pull in.

I have no idea where the bastard came from, maybe one of those viewing points at the side of the motorway. Anyway pulled me and threatened me with careless for cutting up said lane hogger. When I said about him sitting in the middle lane, the cop said it wasn't my job to teach others the highway code in an aggressive manner and why didn't I just go past him in the inside lane Shocked

. I was rather suprised at that I must admit.

He let me go with a bollocking, fair enough I suppose but I still feel it shouldn't have been me being pulled.

Oh, and when said lane hogger came past me and I bet he was laughing his cock off.

I got pulled by an un-marked car on the way to see a friend in hospital with TUG off here. I was leading, sitting in a single lane with a gold/beige Volvo estate in front sticking to 30mph, road then splits into two lanes, bus lane on the inside and I stupidly opened it up and went on the inside of the Volvo.... queue blue lights and a bollocking but luckily they were on their way to the same hospital and after explaining we were rushing as a friend had been in an accident, they let me off and said "see you there".

I've actually managed to some how avoid ever getting any points and I've been banned from riding twice in a 10 year period Rolling Eyes

Didn't you notice they where Police when you looked in the car? xD.

Yep, getting a ban is far worse than points, just think it's strange how I've never amassed any points before and I've been pulled over too many times to count.
