Thread: Check your speedos.

I didnt follow that advice.
Got pulled up on the way home. Doing 60 in a 50. Coppa asked if I knew how fast I was doing, told him "nope, wasnt even looking". Just a bit quick at this time of the year he said and expect a $30 ticket in the mail.

Incidentally, he was packing his pistol, I didnt think cops were armed all the time but I guess they now are.

So in fact the ONE cop you met was ‘packing his pistol’.

From that you deduce THEY are armed all the time?

This forum is riddled with such assumptions...

(The cop you met may well have been returning from an incident the required him to be armed, jus’ sayin’)

Well, actually yes, he was sitting on a popular side road on the other side of the road with his radar on facing me waiting for people like me to come along. It is a favorite hangout for them and I should have been on the lookout.

Still, as long as the $30 I give goes towards a box of bullets for the cop to get some practice in and not Potato for her holiday extravaganza, then I dont mind donating.

So who is making assumptions? Hmmm, maybe a bit quick on the trigger there without knowing that facts ah.

I got a ticket for 104km/h in a 100 area earlier this year, along with a lecture about how "we are looking to change the attitudes of people like you...", and "there is no requirement for a tolerance around speed"

Sure changed my attitude. Probably not in the intended direction.
