Went past a Talivan yesterday as I was driving through Farnborough.
Its a small stretch of dual carriageway with a limit of 70mph.
Depending on where he got, me and if he got me, I was doing anywhere from 80 - 120.

My Radar and Laser detector didn't go off, and when I drove past it looked like he was pointing at the other carriageway.
Could just be wishful thinking though as if he was pointing at the other carriageway all the traffic would be able to see him before driving past.

Ah well. 2 weeks of sweating ahead. It would be bl**dy typical. The only other 3 points I have are due to come off next month.

The road probably wasn't straight enough for 140mph.

I nearly said that myself
Didn't want to stir up a hornets nest though.

It was straight enough but 140 would not be appropriate for the conditions.
The speed I was doing was, but it was over the legal limit. If I've been caught it's a fair cop.

Wait 14 days before you answer that on a public forum.
