Driver fined for clutching apple

Discussion in 'UK Motorcycles' started by Steve Parry, Jan 25, 2005.

  1. But they had Aerial photos.
    This smacks of some type of surveillance.
    How come they can get aerial photos of a nurse eating an apple while
    driving but can't find or, most usually don't even look for evidence
    of most other petty or not so petty crimes?

    You realise that Cornish pasties are like French Wine. The good stuff
    stays local, and the shit gets shipped abroad.

    So, lets get this straight.

    She's a 23 year old, blonde Jockanese burd who eats Golden Delicious[1]
    apples and drives a Ford Ka.

    She deserves to die.........on the grounds that she has no taste or
    culture.

    [1] Which, it has to be said, are shite as apples go.

    McCaffrey, a bloke Mr Varnsverry knows quite well.

    Economics innit? It costs zillions of euros a second to fly a
    helicopter when it is working on taxpayers time so what they do is split
    the on air time proportionally between proper police work and catching
    villains. So, for every 10 minutes they spend chasing thieving fucking
    scrotes, they have to spend 2 hours photoing speeding motorists in order
    to pay for the petrol.

    Well I'm not suprised she got fined if she was holding Mr McCaffrey's
    helmet, the minx.

  11. Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Colonel
    Ahem. I'd bet the aerial photos were actually stock shots, used by the
    prosecution to demonstrate road layout.

    It still sounds like complete fucking over-kill, mind.

    In
    But according to the IAM driving something that isn't powered by a BMC B
    series whilst not being in possesion of a fully grown beard is probably a
    "no no"

    I imagine most people are like me - they wait until they're on a straight
    bit before switching on the radio/rear screen etc.

    Should I find myself in the position of eating a sandwich whilst driving, I
    only grab and bite it during low hazard bits of road.

    The aerial photos were taken after the event, twice by the sounds of
    it. Once from a fixed wing plane and then the chopper had a look as
    well[1]. But apparently they were in the area anyway so it didn't
    actually cost anything.
    It would have been cheaper to just shoot her at the scene.

    [1] I'm not joking here either, check the news stories.

    So Woody was Arlo's dad
    And Arlo was Woody's son.

    Ok, I think I've got that bit now.


    But who the **** is Alice?

    If the corner looks exciting I switch the traction control off mid
    corner to see what'll happen. I have to take a hand off the wheel to do
    it, which makes things a bit leery sometimes.
