Chased By The Cops....

[3Dfx]

I booted the car outta town earlier (about 5:30pm) after dropping a DVD off at blockbuster, and got onto the main road with this car constantly behind me no matter what speed I did... So I got to the junction and blasted away from it.... down to sum traffic lights and the hurtled up a hill with this car still chasing me, I thought it was a Boy Racer wanting a race... anywayz I've now left this car abit behind on a 40mph limit road (im doing 80Mph)... I get to my subburb and slow down to 30mph with the traffic and this car closes in on me and....

BLUE LIGHTS

... wooops....

... I pull over at a safe bit of road... I press the window down and he says "So how fast u reckon u were going"... I reply with "dunno.. 50.. 60..70...??"

He asks if I have my documents... I didnt... he then escorted me to his car... Skoda Fabia vRS...

I get it... and blag blag blag.... saying im in a rush... its Xmas etc etc... every excuse I know... he says... "I have you on video.. you were flying along... good video I must say" ... Im like.. "uhm thanx???" ... he says... "U have a fast car... why try and prove its fast... is it a 8 or 16v? I say 16v... hes like... well even an 8v wouldve left this thing like u did back there...I have 2 options... one I can give u a fixed penalty and 3 points... OR I can give U a f*cking serious b0ll0cking and let u away with a warning"

... my response... "I'd take the latter if I could choose" ... he says... very well... just keep it down yea?.... he done a check on my car... called in the police radio woman gave em my reg... came back as "VW Golf GTI 16v ... colour Black" then he said if its dodgy etc etc.. and summet about insurance... all came back clear.. like I knew it would.. and he said "Merry Christmas, keep your speed down"

....

I then fell outta the car.... changed my keks and got back into the car.... and drove home at a steady 20Mph LOL....

phew...

And thats why speed cameras are no replacement for real traffic police. Discretion, and a chance to check your documents. I'm surprised he didn't also breathalize you, but he could probably tell you were sober from your behavoir. Drink driving, driving without a licence/insurance/MOT are all far more serious offenses than speeding, yet so many fewer people are caught.

And Traffic cops have a bad name...

Heheh - lucky escape M8 ... bet you'll be more careful next time

Nice car BTW

Heheh - lucky escape M8 ... bet you'll be more careful next time

If he had give me some points i think 6 points "COULD'VE" been given and that'd be me banned for 1yr and have to do my test again..only been driving 1yr 6months...

Nice car BTW

'ta

[Hammy]

he he lucky you m8

[3Dfx]

Yes very lucky.

Good job he was young and liked the car... heh heh... if it was a Nova, I'd now have 3-6 points LMAO!!!

[DR]

You were lucky yes, next time don't be a fool and speed out of town. There is a time and a place for speed, and to be honest if you had got the points you deserved them.

Sorry dude, you were lucky but will this teach you to slow down? /I doubt it.

[3Dfx]

I dont speed often.. I was in a rush to get back for dinner....

[Angus]

I'm sure he was as well - hence the lack of points.

[3Dfx]

He tried to keep with me... I shouldda took the shortcut... he'd have never cought me

And thats the *xact reason why you should have got points. He would have caught you - he had your plate.

[3Dfx]

I do know... and I *was* joking... u CANNOT outrun the Police...

[DR]

So don't brag about attempting to on my forums. End of discussion.

[gobbo]

Little note, i doubt a Golf GTi could outrun a Octavia vRS. Plus as David said, he had your plate.

Sounds to me like someone needs to mature slightly, and doesn't belong on the roads until they do so. I'm not being high and mighty or anything, but whether you're in a rush or not, or whether you think it's a boy racer wanting to race - you don't drive at 80mph on a 40mph road. Or is there some unwritten rule that the risk of your dinner getting cold makes it okay?

[Knoxville]

With theo on this, 80mph on a 40 is just beyond stupid imo.

as a side note though, people can outrun the police, they just never get away with it
