Unhappy Possible 3 points

Coming along the M4 today at a leisurely 75mph, some eejit comes right up my backside so I just sped up a bit to pull in front of the car I was overtaking. looked up on bridge bloody cam van, looked down indicated 79mph on digital display

Pulled in and slowed to 74 and numpty goes flying past.

Checked my Nav GPS and at 79mph I'm doing 78, just below threshold, so i have fingers crossed.

Then get back near home and follow an old Scorpio with blacked out lights, virtually impossible to see his brake lights or indicators, but TBH I probably was more likely to kill someone doing 79

Wouldn't worry too much, I had a buttock clenching 2 weeks for setting the Anglesey speed record but nothing turned up.

think im due at least one over the coming weeks

Was on my way too pick my dad up earlier, there was a bus stopped at the bus stop, normally you can still get 2 cars past when the buses are stopped but their was a van parked on the other side of the road behind the oposite bus stop. I over took the bus and a car pulled out of a junction and started coming towards me, so i put me foot down a bit too get out the way.

Was only on the way home i noticed the parked van was a camera van. . Il only have been doin a few over 30 but doesnt take much does it.

Drove past it a about 3 times previous but hadnt noticed it so chance il be getting more than one NIP.
