Ive had some lucky scrapes when I was a younger reckless youth (not that long ago!) I know better now, but :
I over took 4 cars in one go toward a blind bend, pulled in AFTER the double whites started, (was straddling middle)
came to an small island, turned right, overtaking on the LEFT on approach and another round the island on the outside, 100 yds, lights, went in the turn right only, to pass 4 more cars going straight on, cut in as they went green, two more on the next straight, then was caught up by a white carlton, (was in the middle of the FIRST four), bluse lights in grill, 4 police in it. was told he was on a high speed training lesson and I was a great aid to there training, but didnt have time to ticket me, and let me go!!!
if I was a cat, I lost a life there!!

S2ooz, I don't normally comment on other peoples antics as I am no angel.
But you really deserved a nicking, and what you described was stupid. Sorry mate, but if you were in a car, it was dangerous to others. Maybe if you were on a bike, atleast it would only be you who got killed.
Lucky you got off, indeed. Be carefull out there !

There are good boys-in-blue out there!
Got stopped in summer with my german regd AudiS4 doing well over 100mph, plod stopped me with his Subaru junk (which to my shame I never saw even if he was in dayglo colours!). Was offered and paid fixed penalty because his "speedo read only 99mph!!" Good on yer, mate!
Also back in 1975 got stopped in Lancashire doing 135mph (again with german reg) and he spoke sternly to me (m-way was empty) and let me continue my race for the ferry! Also good on yer mate!
There are some humans amongst them!

tell me about it, I deserved a good hammering, I learnt a valid lesson. I really didnt consider the risks. I am a changed man now.
Sometimes you are let of just because the check was unreliable i.e below the min distance on a VASCAR check (we do have rules you know) or it could be we have got a call to another job and don't have time to write the ticket. Years ago when I was doing my training to use VASCAR you had to go out and use the device fo 30 hrs after the initial training before you could actually report people for speeding, so durring that time I for one let loads of 'lucky' people off, most coldn't believe it either (certainly made a few friends that month)
