    I don't think is was right, but he (owner/passenger) got done as well,
    but to a lesser degree.
    I have always wondered how they could do that.
    The owner of the car is a party to the offence. His dick head mate wouldn't have killed anyone if he hadn't given him the means to do it.

    Who knows if Helen new or not, only the fly on the wall maybe.

    Shouldn't be any double standards though, and all for a poxy game of thugby
    Tok Mrs Ixion for a pootle in the new AlfaToy on the weekend, Tootled along a bit of a straight and asked her how fast she though we were going. She said "oh about 60 or 70 kph". In fact we were doing (uh, twice 70 is 110 , isn't it ?) yes ,a bit over "110" kph . "A bit over twice that, dear" . So people can't always tell.

    (She loved the Alfatoy, BTW, which is a relief. Said she hadn't had so much excitment in ages. Under instructions to buy a radar detector too, in the past whenever I bruited such a purchase she would say "But why do you need one, you don't go over the speed limit on that motorbike, I hope. Oh no dear of course not". But now she says I better get one. Coming up !

    It was THE most pointless thing I have seen for a long time.

    Not arguing about the penalties involved, the guys were lucky. (just wonder how 'quick' the next urgent trip that Teflon Helen takes??)
