... he should now do the IAMRoadsmart course and test. This will give the smart alec some perspective
When I was still at school and living on Wilford Lane in Bridgford I remember my dad coming home really downcast one day. The reason – after 40 years of careful driving, he’d been given a speeding ticket for driving at 25mph on the Embankment!
As someone who once got fined on consecutive days for doing 35mph in a 30mph area, my advice to AH is to stop whingeing and take your medicine.
Here, according to t’internet, are the most popular excuses when motorists are caught speeding:
Claimed they were speeding in an emergency
Claimed to have been out of the country when the offence happened
Claimed they no longer owned the car
Claimed they weren’t driving the car
Ignored the fine and hoped the whole thing would go away
Brilliant 60YAP, I had a clapped out Lambretta (but not for long) before eventually progressing to cars, and for a while had a 1974 Ford Capri, yellow with black vinyl roof and white mag wheels. Blew the engine up then scrapped it. Oh what I would give to have that car back now, I'd certainly take more care of it than I did back then!
Not surprised you had your racks nicked while in Stabbo!
Wasn't the Warren arms was it 60 ?
I came from Beeston...I progressed from a Vespa scooter to a Three-Wheeled Bond Mini, soft top I would have you know...The bloody thing was a mare to start, had to kick start it by lifting the bonnet...Turned it over going around Priory Island...write off unfortunately
