You never grow out of that!
The other night leaving Aldi I was eyeing some bird up and went over the corner of the pavement, of course I had to keep going to make it look intentional. Bang, bang bang bang, poor car...

How the hell do you make that look intentional :beer:

Too right, before speed cameras every thing I had was driven flat out. I was lucky not to be disqualified by the time I was 21.

My first car was an 1100 mk3 escort, managed to get 3 points, but was for overtaking at double white lines.
You try keeping up with a copper on a motorbike in a 1.1 escort without cheating

By not backing up after the front wheel goes up, but carry on risking damage to car to save face

3 points within 3 weeks of my test in my Herald '1200'. Copper was amazed it'd do over 90, so he wrote it up as 70 in a 60...

And the lesson here...?

Look out for speed cameras!

The vans aren't exactly discreet in their size and signage! They sometimes hide behind bushes but rarely is it too late to suddenly slow down, unless your not paying attention (easily done).


I'm surprised though you haven't been absolutely slated on here for speeding and the fact your young.

Not brilliant advice, as most of the speedmeters have a range of about 1,000 meters. By the time you see them, you've been clocked.

Better to look out for signs rather than cameras.

Herald and three points?

It was endorsements and red licences then.

Good old days
How did you manage that??

Been told to 'ease off' a few times, guess I pass the attitude test.

It was already 27 years old by the time I restored it when I was 15.

(and by restored, I also mean 'added 2.0l straight-six Vitesse motor and running gear...)

Nice Mr. Plod didn't believe his speedo. He should have looked under my bonnet, but clearly he didn't know his Triumphs.

Ah under badging huh?
When I had a calibra with 280bhp I struggled to keep up with an E36 316, must have been a 318....
