what ever you want to call it
no more stealth mode
Me-4, Bacon-1
they know who I am
GAME OVER
I have always made a point of pretending not to notice the fuzz unless they are right on my tail, this policy has stood me in good steed for years, not necessarily doing a runner, but not stopping either.
Today I was passing a car on the way to work(late again), when the oncoming car lit up like a Christmas tree,, so I check my speed ~125, and look around me, wet road, no oncoming traffic, only two cars behind me (one with flashing lights, one with a smug old lady in it) too far from work to run and hide, so I decided to pull over and get a bollocking, seeing as I wasn't likely to lose my licence, although I was a bit worried about the status of said license, among other things
and encountered the most approachable cop I have ever met! "only" done me for speed, 122 checked 35 demerits, ouch, but there seemed to be some sort of confusion as to the "status" of my and warrant, so he let me off rater than wait for confirmation, so I wouldn't be any later for work than I was already, cool eh.
although this has cost me $170/35pts, I really appreciate the fact that the cop was prepared to overlook all the other infringements that were hanging around me like flies, he could have cost me 1000s and confiscated my bike if he wanted.
I though I was screwed when he noted that I had an extensive prior history of traffic offenses, but when I pointed out that I hadn't been caught for 10 years, he just grinned and said he had been after me for months
Cheers to the mufti for being fair, I am a bit ashamed for getting a ticket, but I am proud of myself for not doing a runner.
I wonder if I could have made it?
2km of straightish highway to hiding place, no traffic to use as blockers, mufti commodore vs CBX400........
I think I did the right thing
