Big P UK300 Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 My first piece of good fortune happened yesterday travelling down to Balloch on the (A82) , while waiting for someone to move in so i could pass them a merc a-class came round the bend towards me flashing it's lights like mad , so everyone moves into the inside lane and slow's to the limit (40) and sure enough just round the next bend were plod with the speed gun out [] On returning back home late last night on the (A82) between c/bank and drumry roundabout's , i was just cruising at 60 , when out of nowhere a traffic beemer appeared parked up on the ccentral reservation so i hit the brakes , but as i went passed they came out after me (all light's blazing) and pulled me ! After a quick walk round the car and a lecture for doing 60mph in a 50 zone they just let me on my way [] Must have been my lucky night , could have ended up wi 6 points but got back home wi my clean licence still intact []
shetland_wrx Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 cant complain at that! ive had no luck with speed guns! at one point i had 11 points! most cleared now, only have 3 left to clear! there due to come off in 2years time! hope i dont get caught again! haha
wrxmania Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 I'd buy a Fiat Cinquecento or a Nissan Serena diesel just to make sure of that one []
shetland_wrx Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 yeah i think so. got a 600cc hornet and my WRX to keep on the right side of the law. did thing about buying a little 50cc scooter to go back and forth to work on just to make sure of that! haha! or i will just take the wifes 1400 golf to work! just about as fast as a scooter! haha

shetland_wrx Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 how the heck can you get caught speedin in shetland mate LOL haha i know. they realy are cracking roads up here. all 60miles of it for the length of the island!! haha! we get alot of new cops up here when they come out of the police college as a first posting and they try to make an impression to there bosses so sometimes you get the odd one that wid screw their own granny over to get brownie points with their superiors! haha!
Big P UK300 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Posted August 14, 2007 Bet all the roads up there are super smooth and empty ! While we have to put up with speed camera's , average speed camera's , and speed bumps that resemble small mountains []

While we have to put up with speed camera's , average speed camera's , and speed bumps that resemble small mountains [] yeah there pretty good. only 1 pro lazer handheld gun on the island and no fixed cameras or that kind of things up here. The traffic car is a diesel vectra! so no T5's, jags etc to chase you! a few lots of speed bumps around schools but thats ok. good twisty roads and realy good surface on them for cars or bikes. especially when youve been driving on the same roads for years, nothing changes apart from how quick you can do them in if you feel the need. just have to watch out for sheep though! alot of them ready to jump out on you! haha!
