Ooops!

Apparently the guy was really nice about it but as the old man was
caught "bang to rights" he wasn't in a position to do the old "next
time... I'll nick you Granddad" routine.

PS: Any advice for him?

ex-pupil?

 

Why wasn't he done for assault, rather than under the RTA? FFS.

 

Well.... when I got nicked for a similar speed, a long time ago, the RAC
fronted for a free brief - not to get me off, but to try and stop a ban,
or get the ban period shortened.

It worked - I got one month off the road.

These days they take a dimmer view, so my guess is two months and £400,
if he's lucky.

We should open a book on this, really.

Don't you mean on the hard shoulder of the M25?

Yup. I got banned at around this time of year and came out into the
sunlight at around April. I was still one of the most miserable six
months[1] in recent memory mind...

Really? How's that work then? I /really/ don't want to have to buy MCN.
Just seeing the fucking thing on the stands at garage forecourts wells
up a feeling of anger inside me.

[1] Not just for me but for everyone around me.

 

Why do you hate MCN that much? I know there's a lot of bullshit in it
but I often buy it to read the race reports and it's not all bad.

In all honesty it's probably a mixture of peer pressure, buying the
thing and having not much to do with it other than look at the pictures
and knowing it will be a waste of money.

I last bought it when I was despatching so that was probably a year or
so ago. It took me about 10-15 minutes to read from cover to cover and
with the exception of the "snippet" bits at the sides of the pages,
there was nothing in it that held any interest for me whatsoever.

 

Now this makes my blood boil.

He shouldn't be driving again and should have got a custodial sentence.

I really hope he gets the crap beaten out of him.

It serves a purpose if you want to look at what's available in both
the new and used markets but once you've got past that aspect and the
race reports it's not really up to much. I still can't see how a few
crap reports and a heavy dose of guesswork can make someone actually
feel angry.

 

I'd agree with disappointed.

 

I did the same this afternoon in his honor.

 

Bugger. Commiserations.
