Thumbs up Brother got pulled for speeding last night

He set off from his street and accellerated in his Turbo 2000, he was followed by a T6, when asked what speed he thought he was doing my brother said just over 30?! Copper said try again! He was doing 52mph! Also said he went passed so fast he had trouble tracking his speed lol.

Luckily copper was sound and just gave him a talking to and aparently they live near each other which probably helped!.

Not encouraging the speeding part, just thought id mention that not all coppers abuse their authority and can be reasonable!

Did you buy a scooby to do 30mph in? Ill probably be told theres a time and a place for it next, but if thats the case you wouldnt "need" a scooby would you as a vectra is more than adequate!

Only one copper in the car? Presumably not a traffic car.
He couldn't have done anything anyway.

Lum,

Thats bollocks...in Liverpool it is anyway.

All marked Police vehicles now have calibrated speedo's fitted, and the bit about 'was he on his own' is just a fallacy...only needs the speedo and a statement from one cop...end.

Just trying to stop folks making a tw@t of themselves when arguing the toss with Plod.

People that think its OK to speed in 30mph zones need stringing up - oh and a Vectra is a bit slow on the back roads

Probably because he'd just changed into 3rd gear.

Up in Scotland, there's a firth of it, and a road bridge. It's just that the Scot's don't always spell very well.
