Aunty Jayne gets caught speeding

[Jayneflakes]

Blasting about today in the sunshine, a tad over the speed limit while over taking on the motorway and a white car appears very quickly in my mirrors. A white car with a blue light on the top and a very blue and yellow side.

For a restricted bike she don't half go, but Mr Plod was not hugely impressed and I got a telling off and that stern look that says "We are not cross, just disappointed!"

Ten minutes later and I had left the motorway and was on a nice piece of road with my friend on the pillion seat. She saw the devious git before I did, but the toad was standing on the transition point of a 40 into a 30 and had the speed gun trained on me. I was throttling off and was dropping speed, but still flashed through six MPH over the limit and dropping.

Luckily the chap holding the speed gun was talking to his mate and looking away from me as I dashed passed and through a speed camera. It seems a bit mean doing a speed check point just before a speed camera!

Two occasions I was caught and both times I got away with it with little more that a telling off. I must have a lucky face...

You're a very naughty girl, and should be soundly spanked but you'd probably enjoy it too much

It's always nice to meet the first plod of spring.

I got caught out by a high roofed Transit mini-bus full of the buggers yesterday. I'd been into town to drop some new Versys brackets off at the powder coaters and came via the village bypass which has a wonderful 180 degree left hander as a slip road into the village. At the top is a roundabout which is one side of the bridge over the bypass with another r/bout the other side which I basically turn right at. My usual thing is to cane it over the bridge then launch into the second r/bout in true street racer stylee, hanging off the seat, knee almost down kinda thing (I know I should know better at my age and with panniers and box on, but wgaf).

So I do the usual through the glorious left slip road at about 80, brake and throw it through the 1st exit off the first r/bout, bang the throttle over the bridge and hit the brakes hard for the r/bout, and just as I've committed myself to a proper good position on the bike and tipped into the r/bout on a perfect entry line I see a sodding great Transit with all the advertising up the sides and it's full of lawmen sitting in the little driveway straight over the r/bout, it had been hidden on my approach by all the chevron signs on the r/bout. Too late to change anything so I carried on as I was but decided not to do the slight dip of the clutch as I crested the exit to get maximum wheelie down the hill into the village. As I pulled myself back into the seat I shot a glance over my left shoulder to see one plod hanging out of the side door giving me the full "Nice one matey" clapping and another giving the thumbs up from next to him.

Nice to know my efforts were appreciated

*Sings badly* Bad girl bad girl what you gonna do what you gonna do when they come for you

Very lucky - isn't their new legislation now where you can go over on a 70 by 16mph and not get points but just a 150 quid fine and speed awareness course, with similar rules in place for 30/40s?

Not had chance to look as been moving home!

It`s only a matter of time before the points and fines arrive and the Insurance companies are ready to hammer you this year without factoring those in as well . Got caught myself last year in September after 22 years of riding with a clean licence , it takes a but a moment to get caught

Great story there and lucky you.
I've never got off with a warning.
I must have a 'let's teach this bar steward a lesson' face.

I saw that on the front page of a newspaper too, but it wasn't a very reputable newspaper! Look at the ACPO website and see if guidelines have changed.
