You've earned 20 years of bans & don't know the speed limits Fuzzy? I think I might see where your problem lies... :lol:

Anyone ever pulled over a copper? I HAVE!!!! :cool:

A few years ago now i was out in the car with a couple of mates, in the day time and we were following a police car, and he had his rear fog light on, though it wasn't foggy at all. I remarked to my mates that if that was me he'd pull me for that, to which they agreed. Then i said "f**k it, i'm gonna pull him over" "NO, NO, you can't do that" said the guys. "Watch me"

So then i flashed him to pull over, he got out and asked what the problem was, I told him did he realise his rear fog light was on and it's not foggy? He took it in good spirits and asked if I wanted to breathalise him too"

All i heard on the way home was "I can't believe you just did that, I can't believe you just did that!"

Made me chuckle for the rest of the day anyway winkeye

it wasnt the actual speed i did although that 132mph incident did cost me dear in bans, fines and community service but more to do with my inability to stop when requested . that 20 years worth of bans was gathered within the first 4 or 5 years of me starting my driving career.
fortunately i eventually learned the lesson that you cant beat the system. you might dodge it for a little while but you wont beat it.my only indescretions these days are the odd motorway blast . long live the clean driving licence and 4 years NCB :D

Ive always found that if youre civil to them they are civil back to you.
Ive been tempted to be abit arsey a couple of times though, Once i got pulled in Bolton off two coppers (one of which was about 14 years old) Id been speeding and overtaken a taxi, The fuzz had seen me do it and came after me. When i got out, the 14 year old cop kept on calling me son and sonny, this really wound me up as i was blatentley older than him.............Anyway, i kept my cool and was back on my way after a 5 minute lecture and a breath test.

So the 20 years of bans didn't run consecutively then?
