Trying to park and ending up getting told off by the police

Was it yooooooou?

cryptwalk

I knew someone would see me. The police are to55ers, they pulled me over asked me if I had any docs with me, sure I say and go in the boot to get them. Only to find it's my old Ins note and my MOT has run out! Then they breathalise me cos he could smell last nights booze.

All that crap resulted in me missing the car park and the sad attitude copper whom told me that if the breath test was positive I would get arrested and they would "stamp on my head" shouted at me some more. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] Some have right attitudes!

Many thanks to the MUFC car park dudes who let me into a permit only car park after those to55ers kept me waiting 20 mins while they faffed about.

Next time someone else can drive.

What happened in the end then?

The breath test didnt even register, so what this dude was smelling I dunno. They gave me a producer and I think i'll prolly get a fine for no MOT. It's been in the car for ages I didnt know it had run out.

I should of got the coppers badge number for threatening behaviour but I dint think, I was just crapping myself over the breath test. You dont think that you could be over the next day.

In the end I found a car park attendent and told him of all my woes. He told me to stop as i'll have him in tears, and let me in.

I got to the game just at kick off and we won 2-1.

Yep, hence why I always leave it as long as possible if I have to drive, but the majority of the time try to avoid driving the day after a night out just in case.

Thought it was you mate..

Sheffield Andy? You aware that Tongey lives round the corner from me? Didn't even know he played till he scored two the other week

Copper's badge number should be tracable as he issued you the producer.

Just tell them you had the car booked in for an MOT and you were on your way to the garage when they stopped you (get your story straight with local garage as they do check it up)

I know someone who got stopped for an out of date MOT and they did this - they ended up with a warning letter from Chief Constable (pp'd of course) and no fine. Letter threatened to throw book if caught again in future...

Aye cant get away with nothing. Having said that it's only the second time i've been stopped in 9 months.

Unfortunatly the copper who issued the producer isnt the one who threatened me, it was the traffic t5 policeman who he called to bring the breathaliser.

Again, unfortunatly I was outside Manchester Uniteds ground queing to park so I doubt that will wash. Also he wrote down what I said which was "erm... Sh17 I didnt even notice, I shall get a new one monday" So I guess I'm kind of knackerd.

Get it done on Monday and, if they take you to court, show them the MOT bill which will undoubtedly show that no work was needed as the car was in a condition to pass it MOT straight away - as opposed to the 1000's of cars driving around which have valid MOT certificates but would fail their emmissions test or don't have working brake and headlights [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
