Came in from the A5. They had 3 cars sat in a layby about a mile out of town, but it was a bike cop that pulled me over in Bala itself.

Having a small plate is like having a sign on your back saying "Please pull me". It's a perfect excuse for them to stop you.

I said to my son the guy was doing his job, it's my fault entirely, just an expensive lesson to learn. We just dont think it will happen to us.

"No, for your small numberplate, but now you come to mention it, your exhaust as well"
That little slip of my tongue cost me £60 .
Once he had written the ticket out, he said that I could go, then turned around & said "I will just do a breath test, have you had a drink?" I told him I didn't drink and the breathalyser proved that with a resounding 0.
"Ok on your way, enjoy your day"
Went to put my helmet on again and he stopped me again. "Let me just check your documents". He got on the phone and checked them out to find everything was ok, then said I could go.

WELCOME TO WALES
Hmmmm I'm thinking of a word which starts with 'W' and rhymes with 'Spanker'


Is there any wonder why Coppers give themselves a bad name...

I thought it was reported in the MCN last week that the police were supposed to be laying off pulling riders for numberplates and dark visors or was that more MCN boll#cks
