Thank you GPS

[rodgerd]

discretion has worked both ways for me lou - obviously cops can pick the wankers, and ticket them for all they can

Well, I've been stopped and given a "slow down, on your way" once in the last year, so it certainly seems to.

Good point Marty, plus if the cop used discretion and decided not to stop you Lou, how would you know he HAS used discretion??????

BTW, I am expecting a flood of 'thank-you' letters from all the greatful motorists I 'flashed' yesterday to let them know they were going a bit faster than the speed limit. - yeah right, like that's going to happen!!!!
Never met anybody yet that says 'I was flashed by a neat sort cop coming the other way when I was speeding', more like 'I was doing X speed and the bastard gave me a ticket' (qu'ell surprise!)

I have been flashed on numerous occasions and have been quite thank full and much prefer that method of telling people to slow down than the "I'll give you a certificate method often used"

when someone told me they were running late i would often say - 'here's a late note from mum then'. no-one seemed to mind, except the overweight mid forties business owners from smallsville who thought they were above all that

Uh oh!

Ah well, I guess he is ment to be setting an example?

Hey, yeah I'm on the piss again!! but it's called "taking the piss

It is also a comment on the defence that is akin to saying "my watch is a Rolex so it is more accurate than your Timex"

Jackrat, I don't care if some rich bugger gets off, Kharma will get him in the end, however GPS ain't super reliable, i.e. if on a steep down hill you could be doing 110 kmh (gps reading) but your TRUE horizontal travel could be 118kmh so in my eyes the "jury is out" when it comes to GPS reading.

Riiiiiiiight,Forgot about that

Riiiiiiiight,Forgot about that

Sorry, led you astray, I should have left out the word "horizontal" after 'TRUE' but I figure you know what I mean
