Been to court...
« on: 22 December 2003, 15:14 »
As some of you may remember I was due in court today. Well, I went and got 4 week ban for doing 110mph on a dual carriageway. At least that meqans there won't be so much salt getting under my car whilst it's off the road  ::)
08.03.10 - 3, maybe 4 weeks, and I want my golf back on the road!

i bloke came into work today and he stopped for the police and told them he was doing 120 testing a motorbike before he bought it. told the cops the lads name and where he was etc. then they followed him back to the lad and just said it wasn't very clever doing 120 even though it was almost midnight on a A road.

my dad got caught doing 115 and got 5 points and ?300 fine. making his total 11 points...

It is wrong - but much as I love the idea of a Germany having roads with no speed limits - they are ffing dangerous and i wouldnt want to see them here.

I was on an Autobahn earlier this year, doing 90 late at night - the speed at which M3s approach you is terrifying. I am a hardened driver but when some guy is breathing down your neck at 150, it aint funny.

As someone else said in our group - these guys are going so fast they start flashing you at least a half a mile behind you. And at 140 versus your 90 they will cover that distance in 30 seconds.

Oh, and Autobahns arent always 3 lane motorways. So even if your doing 90 you spend half your time in the fast lane passing lorries with various rep mobiles up your ar*e trying to get past regardless of your speed.

Regards,
Tin
