So proud of my wife!!!!
Got home from work before and my wife came to the door and told me she had been pulled on the way home. First thoughts were oh sh*t fixed penalty etc etc...
Got in the door and she told me the story.
The traffic on the motorway had all slowed to 40mph as they went past a traffic cop parked on the hard shoulder
As Nicky drove past she saw him pull out and thought here we go. Lo and behold he came behind her and flashed her to pull over.
He came over to the car looking at the wheels as he did. Nicky got out and he said ive pulled you over because your wheels protrude out of the arches too much. Straight away Nicky said how can they protrude too much when you have vans and wagons with wheels and wheels nuts that protrude a lot further?
The copper couldnt answer the question and said he actually agreed. Nicky told him that she works in the motor trade and has done for 19 years and has checked the legalities on VOSA. She said he was welcome to go away and check it.
She told he he had wasted her time as she was now late to pick our son up from school and she would now struggle to get back onto the motorway as it was now nose to tail.
She proper told him.
Ive learnt not to mess with her when shes in a mood.
The copper got into his car and escorted her back into the inside lane.
I wouldnt mind but the wheels now only stick out by the width of the outer lip only and the full tyre is under the arch
