Went for a little ride through Scotsman Valley Road this morning. Nice road, apart from all the yuppie housing... Can get a little..errmmm..."spirited" at times shall we say...:whistle:

On the way home there's a car in front - sitting on about 99 - 100km/hr. Debated blasting past it but the little voice told me not to bother. Just as well. Round the next corner is the radar patrol - far enough offline that the RD did not pick it up until I was well in sight.

Not that I would have been going crazy you unnerstand...:innocent: but may have been fast enough to attract attention. (Like 109 shall we say...:rolleyes:). Course the car in front slammed on the brakes and dropped to 80km/hr for good measure.

I gave the nice officer a little wave as I went by.

A little wave to the Officer - always the gentleman.

But the pills seem to be working.......

:eek: No no no! Excuse me for being obscure but every time I have been in a situation where I'm thinking should I or should'nt I, it inevitably ends up should'nt. Like if I'm thinking "can I get away with a fast over take here?" If I have to think about it I've missed the window of opportunity & have not set up the maneuver in enough time to weigh up all the factors. Like putting myself in a situation were I cannot see through a corner & getting a ticket for speeding on exit or having to brake mid turn or or deal with whatever I was traveling to quickly to avoid. I would think about it & probably stay put too. Obeying my wee mantra/subliminal voice. The invisible co-pilot.

Dont you love that little voice in yer head ( I also love the music thats also playin' most of the time)...the ammount of times ive had that 6th sense kick in now means that when i think something "could" happen, i pay it heed.
Its something thats saved my Bacon many times from tickets or full frontals...I wonder if its got somehting to do with age?:scratch:
