well, i cant say i didnt see it happeneing to me one day but the police have finaly snapped me back to reality.
£60 fine and 3 points for doing 44 in a 30 zone.
nice to know my £60 is going to a good cause, i was pulled over in by a brand new undercover s-class merc fuly loaded with video recordering and custome pc build running xp and realtime internet and satnav. 
gotta go into today to pay the fine and show my driving lisence...oh and ask for a copy of the video. ya know.... sentimental value.
still a bit upset but hey, such is life.

i got caught doing 44 in a 30 last year, i was happy of that because i thought i was doing 50mph so when my 30quid and 3 points came i was quite pleased and it does make you slow down in areas knowing that it is so easy to recieve more points and get banned

yea i kinda felt like i just had my legs lopped off, he even took the keys off me.... and then i though id not see the car for abit, he was quite okay really, some cops you get are like hitler, even had a brief chat about the car cause he didnt know what it was.
im still feeling a bit crap and wondering if i should tell dad  though i fear he may kick me arse!
