He obviously did, you said that your Fiesta would not go up the hill at a lower speed, when it obviously would.

So why did he tell you off you speeding in the first place?
It couldn't have been a lucky guess.

If he did, surely he could have pulled me over, and given me a ticket?

edit - should have*

I never said that I would make it to the top, I said that I wouldn't need to drive it illegally.

So you'd just park it at the bottom of the hill and walk home? Have fun doing that on a single track lane where you'd be illegally causing an obstruction.

Meanwhile in the real world...

Off topic but the straight down that way is fantastic.

I'm always wary in some parts due to people coming the other way, coming down even in 1st gear the car still accelerates rapidly and I have to brake heavily just to maintain 20mph. If I still had stock brakes on the car I'd probably be boiling them daily.

I did, I wanted to go home

Well, go home a bit slower.

Well thank your lucky stars that he wasn't one of those nasty coppers with attitude then.:)

We don't really care, maybe he will next time.
Now I'm starting to side with the police with their "attitude" though.
Sorry op.

The attitude was started before I returned it FYI.

Nope, 'cos all hills that are steep up, are also steep down..

A friend who was pulled over was annoyed at the way the policeman was speaking down to him. He asked the policeman if it was an offence if he called him a !!!! the policeman replied that he would arrest him under the law blah blah blah. He then asked the policeman what he would do if he thought he was a !!!! The policeman replied he could do nothing as it was not an offence to think something to which my friend replied "in that case I think your a !!!!

His car was given a very thorough going over by a rather irate policeman.

I would not recommend this but it gave him a great story to tell...

As suggested earlier, get some driver training if you cannot drive uphill within the speed limits.:)
