Iv Lost my Cherry!

[darrenmartin]

I finaly got caught speding yesturday it went like this;
Im sure that was a white car parked on the slip road iv just rocketed past. i think ill slow down just for a short while to double che....oh sh1t copper up my butt...... dont panic daz dont panic, he hasnt put his lights on yet so ride to the letter of the law one more check in the mirror and......................... pretty blue lights fill the reflection It was just good timimg by the officer as wouldnt you know theres a lay buy just on the left. oh well here goes....now remember what you were told all those years ago when you passed your test. There were two words that the instructors drummed into us.....HUMBLE PIE, as much as you can eat.
Here are the steps i took in damage limitation;
after pullimg over, switch off the engine
removed my gloves and helmet
aproched the officer and bid him a good afternoon
i treated him with respect as from now on my punishment is in his hands. Long story short, he actualy said to me he apreciated my atitude towards the situation. (at the end of the day im bang to rites) "how fast do you think you were traveling at" he asked. I replied "i would imagine in the mid 80s sir" "and the rest" was his reply. This divice will now display the corect speed.......................98
"i should summons you to court for this offence, however due to the fact that you have a clean licence and your compliant manner im going to deal with it by the road side. £100 3pts RESULT Play nice if you get pulled, i did

I think you were very lucky there Darren, your attitude certainly helped. By the sounds of it, it could have been much worse,

What should have the speed been on that road. £100 revenue Still you where lucky mate and done the right thing. It never pays to start winding them up. It's different if they start but that's IMO

Personally i'm onto 6 points now and it gets one thinking about slowing down for a while I do still have my moments but I think a little more discretionary as to where and when they are.

I'm quite shocked by that £100 as a fixed penalty. I didn't realise a fixed penalty's could get that high without a magistrate's say so

They recently went up from £60.

There are some fair coppers about, I got pulled and was told that he had waited until I had seen him and braked before he took the reading. Hence only 3 points and not a trip to court.

OUTRAGEOUS !

It's people like you hooning around at outrageous speeds that are ruining this once great nation of ours!

How do you expect us law abiding citizens innocently driving along adhering to the speed limit to be able to concentrate on radio 4 & our texting whilst trying to not flick fag ash into our coffee cup balanced between our legs...

Bloody motorbikists the lot of you should be locked up...If I was that copper I would have thrown the book at you, handcuffs, CS gas, a couple of whacks with the baton & a good shoeing in the cells for good measure.

GRRRR!















Nice one Darren, sort of a result despite the fine, just don't get caught again...

[lloydie]

It's a good price to pay for having too much fun ::lol:

[darrenmartin]

One thing i will add is that the Officer dealing with me said "i did hear you before i say you and your bike sounds realy nice and has a realy deep boom." yes officer, i thought to myself, that'll be the twin non legal race cans iv got fitted (baffels removed). Also he never checked over the bike and didnt even mention the small number plate! just goes to show that all coppers arn't b8stard....(just most of em )

[darrenmartin]

nice one Mac

[Saintsman27]

this to all and sundry.....personally I would not commit to publish my terminal

the officer seemed to have stimulated a degree of leniency from him

Why is it you have to eat humble pie with the police to go easy on, its like they get a kick out of making you look like a cnut, they haven't got to do anything.

So what if your speeding down a large bit of road, the only time I would ever book someone for speeding would be if they done it down a residential area or near a school/hospital.

I got lucky once when a lady pulled out on me at traffic lights and I went over the bonnet. The bike cop looked at my bike, commented on the race can and wondered where my tax disc was. I said it must have come off the bike.

He didn't mention it again and asked me to provide license and insurance details within a week.

Following a smash many years ago the attending copper ask me for my details/docs etc while I was been treated at the roadside then came to the hospital and give me a producer, when I explained that I’d probably not be able to get to the police station due to been in traction he suggested I get someone to bring them into the hospital so he could come in and check them (which he did) fortunately everything was in order.
The other thing he was moaning about was not been able to check the tax because the bike had ended up in a tree and I guess pigs don’t climb to well

There's good and bad in all if your sensible and polite you can normally get away with a lighter sentence. I got caught speeding on the A55 in wales, copper asked how fast I was going I said about 80 (I was when they were following me) he say NO when we caught you I said I don't know he said we'll say 99 mph I said ok. I was in a rush to get the ferry I was doing anything up to 120mph so 99 was good. 3 points and £60 it was about 10 yrs ago
