I prefer this one



I was out on a quite empty road for a nice evening drive. The top down, breeze blowing through my hair, and I decided to open her up. As the needle went over 140 MPH, I suddenly saw flashing red and blue lights behind me.
"There's no way they can catch my ALPINA," I thought to myself and opened her up further. The needle hit 150, 160.... then the reality of the situation hit me. "What am I doing?" I thought and pulled over.
The copper came up to me, took my license without a word, and examined it and the car. "It's been a long day, this is the end of my shift, and it's Friday. I don't feel like more paperwork, so if you can give me an excuse for your driving that I haven't heard before, you can go."
I thought for a second and said, "Last week my wife ran off with a cop. I was afraid you were trying to give her back."
"Have a nice weekend," said the officer.

I get back into my car and trundle back home on the motorway, my licence free of penalty points, my mind filled with thoughts of death, my eyes glued to the speedo showing 70mph.
Too stupid.

Driving home on the A3, which is a nice, fast, relatively traffic-free stretch of 3-lane motorway that I drive on every day to work and back.
You were either sat atop your Audi or you're not sure what a motorway is?

I checked my DNS server logs, and I'm pretty sure I didn't get redirected to mumsnet. WTF?

"Two things I can do with you here" he says, and I shut my eyes, waiting for him to lay his strong, manly hands on me. "I can either offer you an education, or give you a punishment, what would you prefer?"
"A punishment, what's that?" I asked, as he pulled out his throbbing truncheon...

True story or not I have been in a very similar scenario allbeit I hit 87 and was also shown the footage as clear as day.

The copper which was an absolute arse with me and made me feel like a complete tt actually went up in my estimations as I'm glad he took that route and let me on my way than give me points.

Just wish we had more police that would offer you a stern talking than hit you with points.

I suppose alot of the time it comes down to the attitude test.

ugh, that is 3mins of my life I will never get back.... and the OP has now deleted the original post too, classy.

Reads like something that should be on BRAKE or Mumsnet.

Precisely.

Obviously the copper was so busy showing catastrophic images he forgot to mention that if the cavalier driver was actually looking where he was going, this too can help avoid rear ending a truck.
