If you have just robbed my grandma at gunpoint and shot up a load of smack he wouldn't have even stopped you.

My mate got caught the other day being a tw@ in his Lotus Sunbeam dangerous driving & no tax. He got let off, lucky git, he lost his producer document within 1 hour of getting it, so went to the station anyway with his docs & luckily for him the woman was that stopped him was there, she just said 'ah forget it, go and buy some tax', another officer said to him, 'I think I'd buy her a christmas card if I were you'.

Funnier still he actually had the tax from another of his cars in the Lotus, which he ate on being stopped. He said it tasted horrible.

Bizarre!!!!

I did once own a lovely beige Fiesta 950 popular plus! While trying to test it's terminal velocity one night I managed to get up to the hair-raising speed of 70mph! The next thing I know there are flashing blue lights behind me, and a very irate gabba has a right go at me for nearly running him over!

Aparently he was stood in the road trying to flag me down by waving a torch at me, and I missed hitting him by quite a small distance. Luckily as he was on his own he could only shout at me http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif I also managed to persuade him I was only doing 50. This was in a 30 zone btw - I think he actually took pity in me for driving such a nasty car http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif

I won't make that mistake next time... I'll make sure I hit him http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/wink.gif

This is a classic:
I got pulled coming back from a fancy dress party once, back in my hooligan days when I had an X reg fiesta. I was doing 40 in a 30, Id had a couple of pints over what I should have done, Id just necked a pill, me zorst was blowing and was carrying 6 people in my poor fezzy. Oh, and I had enough **** in my pockets to get me sent down for at least a five stretch.
Blues go on, I get out of car dressed as Ace Ventura. Copper immediately starts laughing, but then sees superman, 3 catwomen and a hawaian dancer in the car, and starts pissing himself. Asks me where my tax disc is and I after searching for 3 minutes find it on the floor of the car. I then stand and chat to officer while one of the catwomen, not knowing the window was open, sits and slags the old bill in general http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/eek.gif ]
He gets out the breath test - I think "its all over - not another christmas in chokey!" http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/frown.gif and then he suddenly gets called away on an emergency call ........... whew!
I proceed to nearest house of a catwoman, roll enormous joint and say little prayer

I got pulled doing 125mph on the M63 in my Humber Sceptre estate (Holbay engined).
So plod asks me how fast I was going.
"Er, about 85-90." says I.

"Well we were doing 105 and losing ground to you."

"No way mate, in this ?" I protest.

"They've got twin carbs you know." he helpfully informs me. "They'll do 100!"

"Er yes, so I believe." I reply, doing my best to draw his attention away from the 2 new K+N boxes on the passenger seat. Of course, he meant twin Strombergs, and didn't get to hear my Webber 40's burbling away as I had switched off.

The ticket read "Excess 70mph". £20 fine, 3 points, lucky escape.

It must be something to do with me buying air filters, as I got pulled on the way home from Demon tweeks after buying a new filter for my mates' XR3i. Had been doing 130mph (Holbay cam, co-incedentaly) but slowed just in time to spot him hiding behind an artic'. Sat me in his Range Rover, radioed in, only to find the car had been stolen! (It had, and had been returned) I didn't know the owners real name, or his adress, and the guy who was with me (not the owner) was in the 'scort trying to think of explainations for the dimps in the ashtray!

So they let us go, saying "Pick up speed and join the traffic carefully." except the hard shoulder ends in about 50yds, so I floor it, and am doing 70 in about 8seconds. Plod followed me for another 5 miles at exactly 70mph before getting bored of playing hide'n seek. (You can't hide a Range Rover easily)

Lucky he didn't catch us doing 130mph down the A49 then!!

Me and a mate were out in his boyed up ashtray, twin 40's big zorst etc. Unfortunately we did not know te area very well and didn't realise we were that close to the local cop shop. Anyway he decides to pull off this really dodgy cut in move on this car and at roundabout and then procede off up the dual cabbageway at about a ton ten. How were we to know that it was a CID car?

This car catches us up a bit later and starts flashing it's lights at us (no blues just normal lights). So my mate says 'looks like that bloke wants a word' and expecting a fight we try to lose him by taking the next left then left again. We pull back out onto the Dual cabbage way behind about 3 patrol cars blues going and looking rather confused. They eventually stopped us (surrounded by about every local copper) and pulled my mate out of the motor and gives him a roasting. Turns out that they couldn't even identify the car due to the mods. The coppers where looking for a green escort when we were in a blue astray! Needless to say we got of scott free, never seen him look so nervous though.

Nice.

Just remembered another, such great memories.

This one happended shortly after they changed the law so that you could get done for wreckless driving on private property....

My mate wanted to get his motor sorted after it had failed it's MOT so we took it down to our club lockup which just so happens to have a large area of carpark around it. So happy that we had got there OK without getting stopped by the cozzers he does a celebratery tailslide around the car park right up next to the local bobby's car who just happened to be visiting(after complaints of high revving and tyre smoke from the last session). I wondered into the garage as this copper came racing out at 500 mph shouting 'who's car is that?'. dunno I replied as I carried on walking.
Luckily he just got a telling off.

Screaming down the a24 Horsham bypass on my mates CBR900 Fireblade about 5 years ago. No Insurance, and I was still on a provisional. Get to the roundabout at the end and nearly fall off as a Gavver on a BMW motorbike pulls up alongside me and signals me to pull over. I get off, bricking it. He strolls over giving it his best 'You're ****@d' look. He then announces the following "I own one of these fine machines, and its good to see somebody riding it properly. But just don't bloody do it at 2 o'clock on a Wednesday afternoon. Now take your gloves off and hold your hands out in front of you parallel to each other and now more than 8 inches apart." Fully expecting him to slap the cuffs on me, I place my hands out as requested. He slaps both wrists and then sez "Consider yourself warned, now piss off and go and annoy someone else."

Earlier in the year I was behind a Vetra estate, who was poodling along at about 20-25mph. We pull on to the long prom at new brighton, and I go past, just hitting boost in 2nd as we where level. I powered down the prom up to about 120mph, at which point I took my foot out as it was getting quite bumpy (30 limit). Get a bit further down the prom, and this car comes steaming up behind me, and puts a blue light on the dash http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/frown.gif

2 Uniformed police get out, and quizzed me about my speed, they said I was doing at least 60 - phew. They proceded to give me a 20 minute lecture about people being about (it was 11:30pm, and unlit http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/rolleyes.gif ), and let me go without even a producer!!! http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif

My guess is they didnt have proof, and they where uniformed officers in an umarked car helping out cid or something cos the light was one plugged in to the ciggy lighter.

Im just thankful it wasnt a proper unmarked car with all the gubbins!!!

Needless to say I dont do that sort of speed there anymore - couldnt belive how bumpy the road got at 120 http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif

Also... (What am I - a Police magnet?)

Back during my Uni days, I was the proud (and somewhat naive) owner of a shiny red Nova SR, complete with hoooooge sub box and a large noisy zorst. Needless to say I thought it was the fastest thing on 4 wheels.

While driving through Chelmsford town center late one night I decided to wheelspin away from the roundabout by the station, and what should be coming down the road I am wheelspinning up but a very large Senator 3.0 traffic car http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/redface.gif

Oops thinks I, I'd better make a run for it before they try and stop me... So off I go down the road at top speed (all of 60mph!), mananging to blat round the corners before they could see where I went.

Unfortunatley I think they just opened their window and listened for the zorst! As I hid in the Uni car park, smugly thinking they'd never find me, they calmly pull up next to me and get out.

"That's a nice car" says PC gimp, "Yes" says I, "I take good care of it!". He then has a good look at the absolutely immaculate, freshly waxed bodywork and the brand new tyres, but can't find anything to do me for.

I then proceeded to recieve a right b*llocking, but as they never pointed any recording type implements at me I got off scott free! http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif I don't think I'd like to try out-running a 3.0 Senator every day though, once is enough http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/wink.gif

Top this then, on A14 near Copdock interchange at about 155mph I get pulled over for doing an average speed over 0.7mile of 136mph. I went to court and got NO ban, NO points, just £100 fine+ £35 court costs.

[turbo pete]

I reckon I can top that.

Got done doing 67 in a 40. Late at night, good visibility,not built up.

Went to court. Proved that there weren't enough signs and those that were in existence were smashed and damaged. Non compliance with the law meant that in the eyes of the law there was no speed limit at all. Could have done 200mph and they still would have failed to cahrge me with exceeding a 40 mph limit. You see there has to be a limit set in accordance with law and there wasn't. Haha. Lets hear a big hoot for loopholes and technicalities.
