Another Schoolboy?

Speeding survey submission: dateOfOffence: 2001 road: M1 county: Greater London speedLimit: 70 convictedSpeed: 155 detection: Vascar points: 3 fine: £40 ban: none notes: Was following an Audi late at night at about 140mph indicated, came to an S bend sequence and couldn't resist overtaking him at 155mph (actual) flat out in top round the outside of the bend. I then slowed to 100 and soon saw blue flashing lights and sh*t myself. It was my lucky day though because the copper drove a Subaru Impreza and I had an Impreza WRX Type RA, he said "nice car" & asked loads of questions about it, said he had got me at 137 but since it was a virtually empty stretch he would call it 90 and give me 3 points. Top bloke!

Or Perhaps the worlds luckiest man ?!?!

It can happen, it is not guaranteed but it is always worth being up front, and holding your hands up from the start rather than starting of with "can't you catch real criminals......

[PetrolTed]

It wasn't so much that as the Scooby doing 155mph? Possible or not? (oh and the email address was 'dubious'!)

Check out the RA spec Ted. They are import only and restricted to 112mph I believe. Special edition for hill climb/ sprints etc., I thought... It's the cheap stripped out one too.

Hi John, I am well aware that Plod can be nice. I`ve been caught doing about 120 in my little MR2 after being followed for about a mile on a Dual Carriageway, and the guy just told me if I wanted to keep my licence I ought not to drive that way ( I listened to him ! ) I`ve also been 'gunned' at 37 in a 30, and again, shown the reading and told to keep the speed down. Jason - Nil points on me license !!

And how would you know that he did an 'actual' 155 if the copper "got him" at 137? Still it makes fun reading - keep up the good work Ted

Have to say, sounds like a scoolboy, most Scooby owners call them errrr scoobies, not Subaru Impreza WRX type RA, straight out of Autocar. but, a chum of mine has a jap import wrx sti4, and when I had a blast in it, I got up to an indicated 150mph in no time at all, and it still had some more to give....I was most impressed (all on a private test road m'lud) shame they look like a robbers dog and have steering made of bertie bassetts finest!
