IIRC from the one thats pulled people over its a blue volvo.

But there are always marked and unmarked cars on the M20 at some point. Primarily because of the number of accidents that happen on the motorway . The lottery is just about when and where they are.

End of day, simplest way is just not to go over the ton on the M20. It worked for me - went flying past a marked car at 90 and not an issue. However the R6 that passed me doing way over the ton was pulled up a mile further on no doubt having an interesting discussion with Mr Plod.

Big downhill stretch at Wrotham? Sounds like you were near to Junction 4 near West Malling and Leybourne - accidents there are very common. Traffic tends to build up at the bottom of that hill because it starts to queue to get into / through Maidstone. In this instance, I don't think there's anything reasonable about 109 mph.

An average of 109? Feck me, you must have hit 120 or so at some point then. That's 50mph over the limit. Did you not expect to get caught doing something like that?

Doing 90ish, touching 100 occasionally - maybe some coppers will forget about it, but 120 and you're asking for a tug.

Not knowing that stretch I guess you must know what you are talking about but Hall did say, prior to speeding, he wasn't overtaking as traffic was heavy and he does not filter so it must have been fairly clear to maintain that speed? You weren't all over the lanes too were you Mr Hall? Naughty naughty You need the number for BigApe's policeman

Sorry, a very severe slap to be received then James. Could be a little pay back after you goading everyone due to your day off yesterday.

My years in the Sister's of Charity convent taught me not to flaunt your advantages before others.

I will pray for you.

Clear or not, you never know what's around the corner or at the bottom of the hill!

Never mind - a valuable lesson anyway.
