May have been caught speeding.......

Post by Avtar » Mon Aug 16, 2010 11:28 am

Travelling down the A4 to the office this morning everyone in front was travelling rather slowly, so I popped to the outside line to overtake only to realise there was a Police Officer holding a speed gun. By the time I realised I braked and was parrallel to the policemen at this point and I think he was still aiming down the road.

Since I was not pulled up further down the road does this mean I may have gotten away with it?

As Pewters said you should be ok

They normally stop you straight away if holding a gun

agreed with above

agree the Twin Turbo is quick - try driving a little orange 900kg car with the same power. That also attracts the wrong sort of trouble as I found out last week

Was that because it was Orange or was the driver up to no good?
