The RAF has a policy of testing hair strands of fast jet pilots regularly for past using. In a different and wholly unrelated matter, fast jet pilots prefer extremely short haircuts.
Unfortunately he got 6 points and a £260 fine, to be fair to the police they wanted him done for dangerous driving but the law only permitted due care and attention. No skid marks on the road from his car indicating that he never saw me until he hit me, he then said I’d already crashed and he couldn’t avoid me (I was waiting in stationary traffic). Luckily the towns cctv caught the whole thing and he quickly changed his story.
FFS that’s pathetic. Should have been jailed for that. But it’s more than the guy who rear ended me got. Police said it wasn’t in the public interest to request his phone records as my injuries were very minor. I think most people would agree that it’s in the public interest to get a muppet off the road if they are on their phone on a dual carriageway. I do a lot of miles in my job and see half a dozen on their phones every day on average.
No idea, I haven’t been pulled by the filth for a miraculously self fixing taillight in a very long time. Favourite was when I was stopped in the early eighties early hours asked many I had to drink told the filth 8……..didn’t see they funny side when after the test was negative told it was Orange juice, went over my car with a fine tooth comb and found fck all wrong the pleb.
But have you ever been caught by sniffer dogs, trying to row a dinghy you’ve wheeled off someones drive across a field? (My mum still has the court transcript 30 years on haha) I was also in a cell the day lady Diana princess of all our hearts died too and one of the idiots came in and told me I had to stand for a minutes silence. Kids eh.
bizarre stops: – I got stopped on the M1 going north in an elderly Lancia by a lovely elderly policeman, I can't even remember why he stopped me, it might even have been to look around the car, because there was nothing of concern from memory in the way he questioned me, but as a closing throw away remark he said and by the way you've got no front numberplate. Well we both walked around the front and there it was clear as can be . I think I might've smiled diplomatically without a word,and he bade me farewell. i've never had the courage to use that James Bond trick since though
People on phones are drink drivers , simple as. I hate them with a passion after what happened to me. The law doesn’t support it enough. I live in a rural area and see tractor drivers on a daily basis on their phones whilst in control of 20 tonnes at least, makes me feel sick and full of dread. Im glad you got through your collision almost unscathed though. X
