    You could tell if they've been warmed already by whether they are wearing a jacket or not.
    Too many warmings could lead to spontaneous combustion.

    Scumdog. Being bad-mouthed is better than not being spoken of at all.
    Spud. If anything strikes fear into me, it's not your declared life's ambition to give me a ticket. It's the thought of a warming with friction.
    keep it up and I might start being law-abiding.

    True. It is always handy to know whether the rider only has 20 demerits to his name or is likely to step off blazing away at you with a Desert Eagle...

    Of course you have to take a punt that the guy riding owns the bike and is not his mate/stole it whatever...

    It is getting pretty warm in here with all this warming.

    Unfortunately the "stupidoscope" is still under developement so the cops can't always tell the difference between the two types above when they stop and speak to them.

    I have thought that maybe a kind of "warning" ticket could be issued and the details entered on the computer straight away so the next cop that stops a dick-head an hour later knows he has already been warned for whatever he's been doing, unfortunately nobody has picked up and run with it - maybe Lou is right, it's all about revenue gathering?? Not my job to worry about it if it is, my salary doesn't include payment for that kind of worry.
    I'm sure the MOT guys used to have an "Offical Written Warning" thing years ago. Was on paper, like a ticket except it didn't go through into the actual "fine" stage. I remember getting one (from the snake I talked about) for doing a wheelie (OK, on my BSA Bantam, so hardly impressive) . I always believed (possibly incorrectly) that the warning sort of turned into a full ticket if they found you already had a previous warning. Mr Lou Girardin should know ?

    I always thought it was a jolly good idea.

    It was written on a normal offence notice, but we wrote "warning only" after the offence. It was great watching their faces as the ticket was written out, then they read it and beamed with relief. Nasty eh!
    There was no database of warnings though. It would be great to have this now, but;
    A/ Cops would have to give warnings. (Or warmings if you're in Palmy)
    B/ Revenue would drop.

    You're right Ixion - I got one for excessive speed at Ngongotaha many moons ago. He was out of his car at the time so no accurate measure. He saw me well before I saw him and waved me down. Good bollocking, then an official warning. Got off lightly under the circumstances.

    Two of the three walked away with a fine. Not good, there are some nasty cops out there and some nice ones, either way, be careful out there guys.
    But was the fine for some law they broke or just for fun hmmmmm???? You break a law you must be prepared to accept responsibility for breaking said law - You all know the risks so stop crying and pay up!!!

    He let me off on a few things with a warming.
    A warming, eh......so, tell us....what else went on at the roadside....?


    How n.i.c.e.... was this cop?

    FFS !! Enough of these warming jokes. The letter "N" is right next to the letter "M" on the keyboard, so warning and warming are neighbours. All these English words all look the same to us Asians.

    Don't tell me you actually did something that could have been construed as being "nasty". Perhaps you'll remember this next time you're slinging your usual mud at the Police.
    A single reason why you can do something is worth 100 reasons why you can't.
