he was doing you no favours,it has to be proved thay you were speeding,proved of any careless driving,also never admit you were speeding etc,ive been caught a few times speeding in lets say areas and times when hardly anyone is about,apart from police,ive twice been clocked at over 120mph and was never done for it,ive been caught at over 100mph on a carridgeway and was never convicted for it..its all about knowing what to say and when to say it..last week i whip past a standard police car on a dual carridgeway,i speed past him at 115mph,knowing he was 1 man crewed and no equipment to prove i was speeding. he of course stopped me and stated i was speeding,my simple reply was i wasnt and that he was wrong unless he could prove otherwise,i also had the cheek to ask when the last time his speedo had been calibrated!! he simply smiled and told me to go on my way....lol,8 years as a former special constable has given me an insight into these things..........p.s. dont punish safe speeders,punish twockers!!!! nuff said

8 years as a special constable and you think that just because you know the tricks of the trade you can take the p1ss. Rather than being so smug you should be utterly ashamed at your pathetic, petty, childish behaviour. You're dangerous and the sooner you are off the road the better. I hope they catch you soon and throw the entire library at you.
The sooner the law gets one over on you and you get that ban Mr Micrared it won't come a day too soon...

As for Pimmo, it's always good if you can get off 'there and then' with a ticking off following a one off brief lapse. If you have learnt your lesson then it was a good experience. He definatley did you a favour because regardless of the pepipoo warriors out there, even just the hassle of challenging such an issue would have been a burden...
Hope the clutch is OK?

MP - you may know what to say, but your 8 years as a special should also have taught you that the police car does not need to have a calibrated speedo or anything else for that matter. It can come down to whether he thinks that you were speeding and then it is simply your word against his in court. Admittedly, this is going to be a PITA for him, but if he did decide to take it to court - who do you think they would believe? ....
MP, if you ever did overtake a police car at 115mph (and then waited for it to pull you over??
) then I'm sure he could have very easily charged you for speeding. As you appear to be spouting nothing but rubbish, I guess this story isn't true

un fookin believeable the bit i liked was :
"proceed to accelerate to 50mph in a 30 " but "He then asks me the speed limit, to which I reply 30mph and his reply why where you doing 50? I said I didn’t notice I was, which in all fairness I didn’t. "
make your mind up mate !!

all of the traffic coppers round here don't have any sort of video in them, even the new ones so you can have a bit of fun but at the same time don't push them or they will just take your car off you now with there new powers (the section 59)

Today on my way home from my MOT (passed by the way) I pulled out in front of a marked Police Land Rover and then proceed to accelerate to 50mph in a 30! Now, the 30 is actually along the prom in New Brighton Wallasey, which is open spaces and no children… however I still feel I did wrong. Having just got my car back and having not noticed said Police car I was trying to deal with my clutch issue by trying different levels of power.
Of course said Police man follows and pulls me over. He then asks me the speed limit, to which I reply 30mph and his reply why where you doing 50? I said I didn’t notice I was, which in all fairness I didn’t.
He said so, you know the speed limit and did you see me? I said yes, which again to be fair I did notice him my brain was just turned off. So he said I’ve got two choices, I either know the speed limited saw him and admit to speeding and taking the **** out of him, or I didn’t notice my speed which is careless driving 9 points and £60 fine.
I pondered for a moment and tried not to cry. I then said I guess I didn’t notice the speed. He said ok, 9 points, £60 fine and Speeding ticket on top of that for speeding. Fair enough, I said. Let’s be honest I made a mistake and I deserved it. He walks around my car and notices my tax is out of date… been in storage until today with MOT. He came back to me and asked why., I explained.
He leant into the car and very calmly, but very scarily told me that if he ever sees me again… and then he left.
No ticket, not producer… nothing.
I can honestly say that although I was unbelievably lucky, I wont be speeding for a long time. I think the guilt and the stupidity I feel is gonna work better than the fine.
So I hold my hands up and await the slating.
