Nope. Copper chased me down the M11 for over 3 miles apparently. ::) ;D
Once stopped he read me the riot act. The blood drained from my face and my life flashed before my eyes etc.
I had recently lost my job of 20 years which was 5 minutes from home, and felt lucky to have found another job 17 miles from home;
So, as far as I was concerned I had just blown that and was going to be back on the scrapheap, possibly for evermore.
Once the copper calmed down a bit I told him this, but also that there was no one to blame but myself, so I had to take it on the chin.
I shall never forget what he said after that  - "Look mate, I ride bikes myself and understand the temptations, but you cant go riding at that speed on public roads. This country is shit enough to live in these days, without having your livelyhood taken away from you. If you promise me you will learn a lesson and slow down, I will call it 95 and you get 3 points and £60. Are you happy with that ?"
I was so happy I nearly burst into tears. ::)
I kept my promise for as long as I could, then when I started to weaken, I sold the bike and havent had another one since.
I had a good run of about thirty years, and just about survived. It was time to grow up a bit and quit while I was ahead.  :)

Been there.

Done that....

From the opposite side of your divide.

Not surprised by Broocie. The copper was experienced, wise and confident enough to use his judgement and trust his instincts.  ;)

I'm quite surprised, in these days of modern technology, that everything from the traffic car isn't recorded/relayed so the decision is taken out of the coppers' hands. Some folk might argue that whether you go to court or not depends upon who stops you and whether they've had a good day or not.
Then again, when you go in front of the beak, your sentence depends on who is sitting, so.... :-\

clocked doing 36mph in a 30 zone.

Snap!

I got back from work last night, a letter in my name was waiting for me. I open the letter and my heart sank, 36mph in 30 zone. :( Then I realised it was the Wife's car. Semi-relief. Still as she said, she can't complain, it's her first speeding ticket.

SWMBO & I both attended the awareness course on the same day both got nicked by the same camera ! Could of made better use of the time & £180 so lessons learnt, hate paying fines or interest cash is better in our account.

When I returned from a period living abroad I didn't realise that they had converted the red light cameras on traffic lights to so called 'speed on green', and one day I got 2 tickets in the post from 2 consecutive days where I'd nipped through the lights before they changed.   :-\

I got a speeding course for one and 3 points and £60 for the other.  :(

I don't know what's more stupid - doing it, or posting it online

Doing it may or may not be stupid, depending on circumstances. Posting it on youtube is utterly moronic.

Nothing surprises me now total idiot, take it to a track if that's what you want to do as for posting your disregard for the law online that really beggars belief.
