i got done for speeding last night for the first time ever
personally i think i should be congratulated for MANAGING to get up to a speed that is sufficient to constitute speeding in central london, but anyway. i didn't notice the blues and twos at first, until he pulled up beside me at the next set of traffic lights and made me wind down the window... doom.

he gave me a lecture about how it was a 30mph zone not a 60mph zone (my car is quick off the mark and i was in a hurry to get home but it's not that fucking quick) and said "you'd feel very sorry if a cyclist or pedestrian had got in front of you, wouldn't you?" i was on the a4 in the fast lane, and frankly it would have served the tosser right if they had hurdled the barrier to get in front of me, but needless to say i was very fluttery-eyelashed and penitent and he let me off. phew.

Fucks sake
that's so shit. He should have made you get out of your car, given you a stern lecture, a massive fine and then go to a police station to produce all your documents.

i don't think i was ACTUALLY speeding
i just took off and got up to 40mph very very quickly.

and pfffft, whilst he was doing that, another 15 people would have been raped/stabbed/murdered somewhere. he made the right decision and i didn't even have to suck him off.

Yes but 40mph
is still 10mph over the limit...
Not that I want you to get a ticket, obviously, but y'know... be careful eh?

yeah
i am not 100% convinced he was right on that, i was just not dumb enough to argue the point with him. it's a dual carriageway and i'm pretty convinced it was a 40 zone. i will be checking next time!

Were there street lights?
Were there any signs saying "40"? If not it was a 30 zone.

it's the a4
between earls court and hammersmith. it's definitely a 40mph zone by the time you get to the flyover; i am just not sure where it starts. but it's a massive socking great dual carriageway; i wouldn't zoom off at high speeds on a side street!

Bollocks, you'd be all "I pay my taxes for this" whilst knocking back half a bottle of tequila
and sucking off some city boy while you chase down a single mother crossing at the lights.

I don't care about rapists, stabbers or murderers.
They've never impacted my life, but people who drive to quickly in built up areas really piss me off. Especially the cunts on motorbikes who go up and down my road.

You've just reminded me.
There's been a copper with a hand held speed gun on my stretch of road a couple of times this week. I'd better be careful.

So when you say you got done for speeding.
You mean you were stopped, but not done?

Someone complimented me on my driving the other day.
They'd left a note in a yellow bag and stuck to the window that read, 'parking fine'.

So that was nice.
