plods with Radar guns

[richardofengland]

I went through local village 30 mph and the other side there were no signes to increase speed limit, albeit its quite a big road, poorly lit. At the last second I saw two plods. high viz jackets holding a radar gun. At the time it could have been anyone standing there as it was so dark. I know I was probably going a bit over the limit but is there no rules about warnings - right annoyed I am

With yourself I hope. You might have been below nabbing speed. If the coppers were hard to spot I'd expect a kiddie to be too.

No warnings needed.

If you can't spot:



Could you spot:



I suggest you slow down and keep your eyes open, because "hooides" are worth an extra 20 points!

You get a group bonus too

You can't hit children from a distance.
Laser guns can hit you from a distance.

I presume (like you did with the above post) it would have been dark, kids shouldnt be out in the dark, especially if its so dark you cant see a police officer in high viz jacket.

ironically i bet it was another 36mph in a 30, if so, big deal, almost every driver in the world has strayed 6mph over the limit at some time or another before now without noticing it becuase their attention was on the road, other road users and people/pets near the road and the perception of all those potential accidents meaning they are being safe but just slipped a few harmless miles over the limit.





we would care less what other people think if we realise how little they do.

I think I'd spot a bright yellow Evo coming

My point is that we shouldnt complain when the Police are doing their job. Yes, it could easily have been me doing 36mph (or whatever). Its the local councils with their extending of restricted limits that need shooting. Most villages in rural Oxfordshire are like this, 30mph goes on for 1/2 mile after the last house.
