BBQ biker fined today

[Toaster]

Guess he copped a bit of heat and got his butt fried by the local bacon and a grilling in court to boot.

[Suntoucher]

The bit about the Judge's comment which got me was, 'I've even seen bits of wood sticking out of cars!'

That's a good funny. I transport all manner of wood and things around in my lil MX5. On one occasion I transported a 300ltre aluminium fuel tank strapped on behind the seats (hood down) and shat myself for the entire 30K drive knowing some cop would find fault. All I could envisage was some cop stopping me and demanding I leave my tank on the road-side, then getting some huge value ticket for some offence made up on the spur of the moment. But the fact was, the can 1500X 600X 500 weighing about 30Kgs, was strapped down totally.

I imagined a cop going on about what would happen if I slammed into a solid object. The can would break its restraints, fly off into the distance and probably kill a concerned mother of five, with four of who she was concerned about going with her.

Me asserting, 'But I have zero intention of hitting anything,' would have been met with the usual...'Ah, but you never know what's just around the corner.'

'But I don't give a fuck for what might be around the corner on account of I drive at a speed to deal with that.'

'Do you really? Ha ha. Here's the ticket. $400 for an insecure load. By the way. Leave it on the roadside. Have a nice day.'

As it happened I didn't see a cop during the entire journey. :--))

So the old judge ain't seen anything yet.

Let total safety in all respects prevail. Do not get out of bed.

She'd get done for being tanked while minding children.
