if someone writes your number plate down and rings the police to tell them they think you were speeding, can the police do anything, as there is no proof?
i wasnt speeding, i was just on the redline in first, doing 30 between 2 junctions, couldnt be bothered to change gear
but some bloke looked at my car, wrote the plate down and got his phone out as if to ring the police
i dont think there is anything they can do even if i was speeding, as they could not prove it, it would just be his judgement, and he was old, so he would be wrong...

nope you right, you cant be done as there isnt a proof - ie: his word against yours.
However, if other people rang in then it could be different...but they didnt, so i wouldnt worry about it mate

just hope they dont do a spot check if they come round, as one of my tyres may be illegal, and my headlight bulbs are, i only have one brake light, and my back number plate is so dirty, you cant read it
fuckin do-gooders though, obviously got nothing better to do, it pisses me off as much as the wankers who sit under bridges with flourescent jackets and a clipboard writing down your numberplate if you are speeding

yeah, but its not like they are police, they are just old gits with nothing better to do. makes them feel big knowing that if they give the police a list, something gets done
just cos they are jealous of us young'uns in cars that we drive in the week, not just on a sunday

has it passed an MoT with that exhaust?, cos if it has, you could have just sat there revving it so the old fucker went even more deaf
actually thinking about it, he probably was deaf, so he cant have heard it, he must just have been upset cos the one on his volvo is tiny
