3 points got in my first year of driving, not my fault tho, on the m4, there was road works but didnt see any signs was doing 70 mph and got stopped and told it was 50mph, i tried to argue it that there were no saying so but apparently there were, but since then no points, bin stopped a few times for silly things like having my fog lights on.


:angry: That drives me insane![/quote]

My pet hate on the roads, people who on the first sight of fog stick on their tail fog lights!!

If you cannot see the headlights of the car behind in your rear view mirror stick them on (in dense fog) then put the rear fog light on, if you can see their headlights then they can see your tail lights (without the need for rear fog light being put on).

They are a hazard, and they give me a headache!!!!!

Got stopped by Maidenhead doing 110 on the motorway - followed and video'd by an unmarked Omega  Sad

Went to court and they fined me £250 (which I think was the maximum then) and gave me 9 points.

The next 3 years were a bloody nightmare - as someone above said sticking to the speed limit for 3 years is nigh on impossible !

Got 0 points

Have been stopped many times, including whilst en route to the fire station for a call, followed me into the yard  :shock:

Got pulled over one night, and got asked how much i had to drink:

Tans: 5 pints
Plod: 5 pints? Would you mind taking a breath test?
Me: No

Took the test and it came up negative, the copper said how can you have 5 pints and not be over the limit? Easy tans said, he said what you been drinking, I said coke. He said to my why didnt you say coke? I said you never asked.

Got a fucking bollocking for that one, the old bill went ape  Cool

I was talking to a copper the other day about police only out to get speeders and drink-drivers, of course he tried to defend this but we all know this is true.
He told me he is always up for a bit of a laugh and will sometimes let speeders off if they come up with an original comment which amuses him.

This happened the other week when he stopped this guy doing 55 in a 40.
The copper startd to write out the ticket and asked if the driver had anything to say.
The driver replied: 'Stop Hitting Me Officer'
The copper laughed and said 'On your way son, now behave yourself and dont let me catch you again'

Zero for me, although corrupt Thai coppers are much of the reason for that. And for about 2 years I didn't even have a licence to put points onto.

I tried that one...I got stopped on the M4 at about 3am coming home from Newbury about 7 or 8 years ago.

Cops had followed me from Nerbury (J13) and pulled me just before Membury. When I saw the flashing blues I tossed the reefer out of the window and said to my mate "Oh, what a cunt." and pulled over.

Stanard procedure, breath test etc, all fine. They asked why I had slowed down after averaging over 90 mph for about 15 miles, I replied that I was debating whether to come off at services for fuel or if I could make it back to Bath on what I had in the tank.

The copper was writing the ticket...

COPPER - "What did you say when you saw the lights come on?"
BO - "You don't want to know"
COPPER - "Go on, try us"
BO - "OK, I said Oh, what a cunt"
COPPER - "Oh, you didn't say Damn I was caught by Thames Valleys finest?"
BO - "No, I definately called you a cunt"

I then proceeded to tell them they should be doing the lorry I just overtook that had foglights on as it was a perfectly clear evening, they said we would of if you weren't speeding.

I still got the ticket  Sad
