Speeding bride

[vifferman]

Hahahaha, nice one! Mrs B got a speed camera fine through the post and I really took the mickey about her lack of self-control as she's always harping on about me. However, when she looked at the date, it coincided with a day I borrowed her car. Never been allowed to forget that one

That's... ironic. Or summat.
Karen's had only two speeding tickets. The first was a speed camera ticket back in about 1998, when she had to travel from Tauranga to D'Auckland for work. She was trundling along the Southern Motorway, at the same speed as the other cars, and got pinged. A few weeks after that ticket turned up in the mail, addressed to me (as registered owner).
"Ha ha! Now it's your turn!"
"Um... dear: look at the time. It's the time you travel to work, and on the route you take."
"Oh."
But I've allowed her to forget it, and she's been (mostly) kind about my last three tickets, especially the first of them, when she was on the back of the FahrtSturm when we were pulled up.

Karen's had only tow speeding tickets.

Is that when you forget you have a trailer on the back and get pinged for driving at the same speed as the other traffic?

Wise man Ian. Discretion is something we all have to learn if we want a shag sometime within the next year Our wives never seem to be troubled by dredging up the past though.

Mr Random... you're right on the money there. A few years back, I got pinged for doing 105 km/hr towing a trailer on SH1 near Marton. This was when towing was restricted to 80 clicks. I have absolutely no objection to being pinged - guilty as charged. However, I was pretty bloody disappointed when after the booking, he told me to stick to 100 and I'd be fine! The other thing which was disappointing was that he was driving an unmarked Nissan 200SX Turbo and I'd watched him closing in my mirror. He must have been doing well over 160 by the rate he was closing. I just thought he was a boy racer

Oh dear.
Another example of when the act of issuing a ticket (supposedly for enforcing road safety) is less safe than the 'crime'.

Well what did I say..........My fookin fault, she gave me a kiss goodbye and even though I didn't ask for one,this peck on the cheek forced her to be late and therefore speed and I should pay the fine.
It was said toungue in cheek but my chances of sminky pinky tonight are not good. down the pub then.
