jeebowhite Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Haha, I presume that's because you don't just want to send Me over the waters inspecting weapons of mass destruction? :-P I can be diplomatic when I try but I tend to not have that diplomacy at home, work, road, or many places in between :-P And Clive, I can swear I have never ever sped, nor have I ever had an undercover car scare the bajeebus outa me :-P ever, honest gov lol.. I still slip up, regularly and thankful in a way I have not been caught but I know every time you speed, you have to be lucky not to be caught, but the police only need to be lucky once!

Stoney871 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I'm trained to be diplomatic and weigh up both sides of any dispute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Can anyone here honestly say they've never ever gone faster than the posted speed?I've never done 66 in a 30 limit. It comes from not being suicidal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I've never done 66 in a 30 limit. It comes from not being suicidal. So you've never exceeded the limit ever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nighthawk Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I've been in an accident going the correct speed and that was scary enough plus my licence means too much to me to risk losing it.

Hyrule Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Don't let the negative comments get you down Mactell, we all already gave you the telling off required, in your original post. The majority of the FOC community supports its members whether they make mistakes or not and we aim to not judge. Best of luck in court and learn from this experience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Well said Ben! Clive, it must sometimes be hard to put that diplomacy into practice! sometimes you must get some true testing of the patience! Mactell, do let us know how it goes on the day, we hope for the best and prepare for the worst! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btmaldon Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I don't visit that often and certainly don't read every thread. But that doesn't invalidate my opinion (or revoke my right to voice an opinion), nor does it mean I'm "rubbing it in" just because somebody else has said it before without my knowledge. Sorry you took it the wrong way. I wasn't invalidating your point of view, just pointing out the lad has already been on the receiving end of those with the same opinion and is already more than aware. Have a nice day wont you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
