Out for some law breaking today when i was on the above road and spotted motorcycle plod a corner or two ahead through the bushes (i clocked the hi viz)..slowing down i noticed he had pulled his bike over on the exit from a high speed bend and was climbing off the bike and twatting around with something in the panniers. I pootled past and gave him a friendly wave. A few miles up the road i turned around in the village of Garthorpe and went back...Plod wasnt there..where was he???? cheeky c*nt had wheeled his bike over the road into a farm track and hidden it on the opposite side of the road. He was in the bushes crouching down with an LC25 Lie-O-Scope near to where i'd originally seen him.... I pootled past and gave him a friendly wave. A few miles up the road i turned around in the village of Saxby and went back. I caught him again behind the bushes so i slowed to a crawl, lifted my visor and gave him another friendly wave...he gave me a sheepish smile, lowering his Lie-O-Scope.. I rode off gently (didnt want him snooping around my tax disc, know wot i mean??).. I bimbled up the road, pulled over and waved down half a dozen or so bikes...i was turning around when i saw a 999 (Your mate said your name was Nibs??).. Anyway, my good deed for the day was saving a few lads from getting points, so well done me. I continued towards Stamford for some more law breaking and eventually came back along this route but Dibble had gone..hopefully unable to fulfill his quota for the day..and pissed off to pick on someone else... Slimey fkr..hope his bike got stuck in the field...
A little bit cynical there Funky, that farm track may be a notorious accident blackspot, or he may have been rummaging in the hedge helping a wounded badger.....
Speed trap by me the other day hidden behind bushes I thought they had to be visible .. Obviously not it was like a bloody scene from Smokey and the Bandit Even better there was all this debris in the road so people where more concerned with that and then landed strait in their trap. They didn't want to spend 2 mins getting this big box that had dropped in the middle of the road. Infact it was helping them
They're not all bad. Unbeknown to me I was followed by plod in an unmarked purple BMW 5 Series for about twenty miles a couple of years ago. When the siren and the lights started going behind the front grille, I thought I'd loose my licence. I'd been going more than twice the speed limit in a 60 zone. He asked me if I knew why he'd stopped me and I told him I did, I said it was my first real ride of the year and I'd been a bit "over enthusiastic". He said he wasn't going to do anything as he was a biker himself and "it had been a pleasure to watch someone make safe rapid progress and as you slowed down at roundabouts and given way when necessary, there had been nothing unsafe." He said they only thing he would criticise me for was undertaking a TVR. However, he qualified that by saying that the driver was a bit of a twat and wasn't going to pull over to let me pass but being a twat he might have moved to the inside lane when I did to block my progress and that might have been nasty. He was a really cool guy and was only interested in safety not nicking someone for the pleasure of it. Thanks to him I still have a clean licence.
Not exactly. Encouraging other people not to commit offences is not an offence. Deliberately sabotaging police operations is an offence. There is a difference.
\ hmm..grey area. there was on here a few weeks ago about a driver warning oncoming motorists of a speed trap..he ended up getting fined. fuck em...all of em.
I surprised a burglar in my house the other night. I had to let him finish robbing me in case the police subsequently accused me of perverting the course of justice - by not letting him break the law and then be convicted of the crime at some point. Yeah, right.
I got done several weeks ago on the road to the cafe at Quatford. Sneaky really, unmarked bike, hiding in a lay by round a blind left hand bend. I figured he had zapped me so went back to enquire, as we all know our Italian speedos are not the most accurate. So, very politely asked, to which he replied "It's against the data protection act for you to ask and for me to answer". First I've ever heard of this. Still, he must have felt all warm and glowing inside knowing he had stopped a speed demon (oh, and garnered £85 for a speed awareness course). My crime, 35 mph in a 30, smack on the ACPO guidelines.
This statement appears to have been adopted by every f'ing 1/2 backed tool in the country, from bloody tyre fitters to plod! Should have told him it's your right to know under the Freedom of Information Act...Then stood back and observe the melt down!
