A couple of months ago (must have been end of March) i was slightly late for work so i decided to make use of my cars power and try and makee up the time. Espically as it was 3 in the morning and i thought if anyones coming the otherway i'll see the lights so i can slow down and i'd like to class myself as a safishdriver (still hadn't had a speeding ticket which i thought was good most blokes get one).
So i must have been going about 50 in a 30 zone ( i know its bad but it was one of those moments. Right car, on the right time and i needed to get somewhere fast) and i went past a junction where a Volvo was waiting.
As it pulled out i noticed it caught up with me fairly fast and seemed to be sticking with me which i thought was odd. It was just then as i thought perhaps it an unmarked police car it's light came on and low and behold!
So i pulled over and waited for the worse. I said i was late for work even though i knew it wouldn't do any good and admitted to breaking the limit. He then took my details down and gave me a talk about what could happen with me going to fast which i actually took to heart.
I then waited over the coming days for the letter to come throught the post but it never came.I can only assume that the officer decided i learnt my lesson which i have to say i actually have. I'm now much less eager to go for the overtake and take risks as i've decided it's just not worth it. It puts my life and others at risk.
Bu this now sets me thinking how i reckon i've learnt more this way than getting caught by a speed camera. If that had come through i would have been annoyed but would still have carried on driving a fast at times (not all the time mind. Just on those moments). But becuasce he talked i actually learnt more and i'm 100% safer now.
When i know that some people won't learn like i did but perhaps the police should do this sort of thing more. i know it worked for me
