Got stopped for speeding yesterday.

gillywibble · 03-07-2008, 14:38

Unmarked Volvo pulled me for 53 in a 40. The first thing he said was 'Do you live in Pickford Green?' which I thought was strange. 'No, Eastern Green' I replied.

After he informed me of my speed he said 'What speed were you doing the other night?'

'What do you mean?' I replied. 'Well' he said, 'you overtook an off duty colleague on his motorcycle doing 110 mph on the same stretch of road. We knew it was you from the Briskoda stickers on the back of your car.'

'Be more careful in future, off you go'.

Oops

Sounds like you had a lucky escape!,
My Mate Adam (red octy vrs) who came to Prague with us, got pulled this morning by an unmarked Volvo, for alleged Dangerous Driving. But after a quick chat was let off and told to be on his way.

Lucky lucky boy!!

postmanpat · 03-07-2008, 14:56

So what speed were you doing if the off duty copper was doing 110 on his motorbike

Result for you there Jon

This is what I like about real Policemen

They are human, just like us.

No, nothing at all.

Even if they were do you think it would be possible to bring a successful prosecution from evidence on an internet forum?

Reads like an admission of guilt to me. Besides, I thought over a ton was an instant ban? Especially if, as it seems, it was in a 40 limit.

Makefish · 03-07-2008, 17:12

So the rozzers will just look up 'GillyWibble' in the phone book and it's case closed?

Must have been similar to be able to read the small stickers!

Good to see there are some decent coppers out there.

Also an admission of guilt from the off-duty copper then, who was doing 110??

And it would appear from the conversation transcribed above that Mr Gillywibble never confirmed or denied the accusation

"What? A skoda can go over 110mph?"

agreed, they are way better than a scamera van, they can take into account how you were driving, conditions, car ect, not just the figure of "speed"

lucky there gilly

its not like you to speed!
