Leptons

[pthelazyjourno]

I absolutely fking hate that word with a passion.

Everybody knows you're speeding, everybody knows what you mean, the relevant authorities wouldn't be fooled in an accident, just don't!!

Bloody leptons indeed.

Carry on, as you were.

leptons

[LocoCoco]

I don't think PH'ers who've just been in an accident refer to their speed in leptons to avoid a speeding charge, that would be silly.

It's a curiously satisfying word though isn't it. Leptons. Like the tea. Lep-tons. Lept-ons. Great word.

[scotty_d]

Yes but to incriminate ones self is far more silly , sorry but I am all for Leptons .Pink elephants could have worked just so happened the first guy quite like leptons

[crostonian]

Never understood why phers constantly quote a suburb of Huddersfield when discussing speed.

Git!

[james_gt3rs]

I've only ever read it on the internet. I would cringe if I heard someone say it!

[f1nn]

Its use belongs in the "things that automatically make you think knob thread"

When I first saw it used, it seemed to be speed/100, but now it seems the mph is just substituted by lepton.

I can't help but think of Chris Barrie as Rimmer saying it in on overly nasal way.

Anyway, whatever.

It should be in the swear filter. So cringeworthy, and you can just imagine it being followed up with a big wink and, "If you know what I mean".

Surely everything posted is hearsay?
I'm not sure what the legal position of a speeding charge based solely on a forum post would be?

Let's find out.

I did 63mph this morning.

There have been a number of cases of people being arrested for criminal offences after posting about them on a social networking site. I see no reason that a forum like PH would be any different.

Of course whether the Police would bother, is another matter entirely. If someone was involved in a fatal accident and had a history of posting on here that they broke the speed limit, I suppose it would be taken as circumstantial evidence.

[anonymous-user]

I can't see it makes any difference in a legal sense. If someone could prove 'association' or something I am pretty sure you'd still be in trouble.

Whilst we are at it can we add...

'Talk to me' to any new filter, it makes people sound like they have just come out of prison and are trying to put their lives back together.

Have a look for 10PenceShort's posting on his experience of exactly that followed by a spell at her majesties pleasure.

Isn't it more relevant to sentencing than proving guilt for a particular offence?

If it was on the M1 then uncuff yourself.

I averaged almost 1 lepton the other day, covering 100km in just over an hour...
