alistair_learmonth Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 My wife was coming back from Euro Central with my youngest son from Mechanics course. Seems she was doing her usual chatting and noticed a blue S80 unmarked and turns to son and says, "oh, look a car like mine" as she sped past in my Scoob. Needless to say the conceiled blue flashers go on and she gets pulled by lone policeman in unmarked car. He gets out, makes for the passenger side window my wife opens for him to lean in and says, "you know what speed you were doing their madam as you passed me" "No Officer" she replies, sheepishly and slight quiver in voice "It was well past 70 and I would not bet on it being far off a 100" "Oh am so sorry Officer I must have not noticed the speed, I usually drive my S80 Diesel, which isnt as fast as my husbands" "Well Madam, please take more care, you could have faced an automatic ban at the speed you were driving, let this be a warning to you" "Oh thank you Officer, I wont, I will take care to notice my speedometer in future" He leaves window and is heard muttering, "Women, drivers" and "Suburu" and "wots next"
andy Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 He failed to mention then that he couldn't do her because he was on his own. Unlike Engerland, you need two cops in Scotland for corroboration.
david_taylor Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 My mate got caught by a unmarked car in his M3 doing an average of 106mph over 6 miles on the M74. U would think a lenghty ban eh! Not at all. 2 weeks and 180 notes! Over 25 and it appears that you do not get hammered! Not that I or the site condone such actions!
