Caught speeding oooppps!!!
« on: 26 October 2008, 10:25 »
Yes guys the RS4 has finally got me into a bit ov bother!! :evil: :evil:

Pulled last night by the usual Volvo T5. Alright i was travelling just over 100mph BUT the copper couldnt get a"fix" on me due to other cars and a slight curve in the road.When he did "get a fix" he got me at 91mph  IN A 70 ZONE.

It was a fair cop! and thougt i was gunna get a hard time as only COCKS drive RS4,S!!! :grin: :grin: but he was ok but did say if he had clocked me at 100 or more i WOULD have got a ban! PHEW :cool: :cool:

Anyway 3 points and 60 squid but could have been worse.
Anyway keep it careful guys and i live to fight another day. :grin: :grin:

was it M-way or DC?

I need to slow down when I drive. It's too frikkin easy to go over the speed limit without realising in the GTI. At least in the fezza, you knew from the engine sound you were going too fast.

....Which is why I prefer the large digital speed display and accuracy of the PogoAlert. Sticky Vicky said that she couldn't tell how fast she was going in the electric car she drove at Goodwood because she couldn't hear the engine. A Milltek (or similar) exhaust will mean that you can hear your engine in the GTI.

At least you got good value for your three points and £60 ..... you could have been done by a mobile van at 79 and still got the same  :laugh:

Funny you mention this. Was at a robot and a a4 avant pulled up with s line logos on it. Owner had all the windows down listening to music. So i commented to my mom that its usually the low engine spec vehicles (2 litre or 1.6) with rs4 kit on them. At this point i had not seen the back of the car. The owner must have heard my comments and took offence. With a little grin he floored the car. . . Ya. It was a 3.2 litre quattro. Next thing we see he is being pulled over. Just to be told how awesome his car is by the cop. Proves there are some decent cops arounds still.

Most Traffic cops love cars ... and bikes ... so you have a better chance of getting a warning ..... something Gatso's never, ever do !

I beg to differ about a third of all gatso's dont have any film in but still flash.  :nerd:
It would be nice if a third of all traffic cops gave us a warning.  :grin:
