Hi,

Was in wales this weekend and was chasing a Rover 75. We overtook some s**t citroen just as i was pulling back in i noticed a cop with a gun facing my way. It's my license if i get anymroe points.

I was doing about 70ish when passing him after breaking but dunno what i was doing before.

oops.......
fingers crossed..........he needs the gun on ya for like 2 seconds or something doesnt he?
i personally would have just ran him over
hehehe just kidding.
good luck!

What was the limit of the road you were on?

It was a 60 zone.

The thought crossed my mind to just run him over.

I'm f****d if thats my license gone

Just the waiting stage now

James

the worst bit buddy.......... if you do get points u can drag them out for about 2 months anyway .....so u wont get it revoked straight away.

I was talking to a Copper I know that works on the mobile cameras and he said, that sometimes if they can see you're slowing down then they won't collar you, also they usually set it to 69mph in a 60 if I remember rightly. So if you're lucky he may have seen you were slowing down and let you off.

also, ur speedo alwas reads faster than ur doing anyway

Yeah i noticed it even worse in the new Polos. I had one for a courtesy car a few weeks ago, 1.2SE I think, the speedo was reading about 88-89 but my Road Angel (GPS accurate) was reading 80.

Errr, no hang on a minute........I was doing 70.......REALLY!!!!!!

Yer i find that on my speedo it reads 80 but my GPS Sat Nav reads 74mph.
