What the heck ya doin trawling thru posts over a year old and dragging them back up, are you that bored?

In 30years time someone will pull one of your threads and everyone will have a good laugh at your out of date point of view.

Couple of years ago, late for work but ticking along at a relatively mild 108-110. Got to a looong passing lane with a stock truck 'n trailer doing about 80 and a Holden stuck 3" from its bum up ahead (should have been the first warning).

By half way down the lane I was on top of them and the Holden hadn't moved (had been right behind it from before the passing lane, so it's not like they'd just caught up to it too). I indicated, pulled into the passing lane and just before I come up on the Holden the f#cker pulls right out in front of me with no indication. I had to jump on the brakes pretty hard to miss him, he then proceeds to tick past the truckie at 90, clears the truck then runs out the rest of the passing lane at 90 without pulling in!

By now I'm pretty pissed, round the next corner and there's a nice clear straight so I drop it and pop past him doing 115. F#cker starts chasing me at 110 for a couple of K's before flashing me - bloody mufti!

Young gun in the passenger jumps out and starts with the usual "In a bit of a hurry?" so I admit that I was doing what I was doing but I have a polite but firm go at him detailing what his dropkick mate in the pilots seat had been doing. Threw in a bit of "chasing me without lights on seems a little like he was trying to bait me" just for good measure.

Thankfully they were "out of tickets" so I had to be on my way...

$80 is alright i guess but next time look out for coppers

tickets can also depend on the cops mood which sucks that they take anger ut on your bank balance

Rubbish... you only get a ticket if you've been speeding... of course they may just give you a warning if they're in a good mood... but your bank balance taking a hit, nobody but yourself to blame.

Speed kills. Just slow down.

"speed kills" is the best you got when he's doing 65 ?

there's a survey on here asking where/when people speed and 15% replied never so under them in the dictionary it should say "see you" ?
