Bikers' Banter

So did the 4hr 15min course today for doing 8mph over the 40 limit. What a load of bolox and a waste of what little time i have left on this planet.
If all did as they say you should this country would come to a stand still.
I will pay the fine and take the points next time rather than listen to these nobs.

I took the three points and £60 fine when I got caught . The nearest 'naughty boy school' for me , at the time , was over thirty miles away and it meant taking a days' leave from work .
When I spoke to my insurance companies to fess up that I was a danger on the roads , I was told it made no difference to the premium as an SP30 (speeding code) were too common nowadays to affect .

Are you meant to get points for speeding?

Do points mean prizes?

Where do I go to claim mine?

No, the bastards even did me out of my points by going on this stupid course, AND charged me £85 for 4+ hours of torture.

Guy I work with went on one of those recently, he said the man running or ruining the day asks a show of hands of people caught in a 30 mph limit, and going upwards till he gets to 80 mph and one person still hasn't raised their hand, course running man says good grief how fast were you going, the criminal who's hasn't raised their hand says I wasn't caught speeding, he had a dog on his passenger seat, apparently dogs must be strapped in to a seat via a special belt, or in the boot, and a rather over zealous copper had the man go on a driving awareness course , as the dog was a potential distraction, so be aware dog owners

Effing mad. Maybe the dog should have drove and the guy should sit in the passenger seat with his seat belt on.

Reminds me of when I went to East Germany in the 70’s. Little Morris 1100. Russian border guards check mums passport and mine... he looks up... what??? 14 years old and driving??
Mum pointed out the the steering wheel was on her side

Before we moved to Spain, I spent 10 months driving the lhd Rover.
A couple of times, I’d give a girl a lift home. She’d jump out (of the right hand side), when the traffic came to a stop, and walk off.

I loved looking in the mirror and watching the faces of the drivers behind

I enjoyed my time at naughty girl school. It was MUCH nicer then going to work. Even having to pay £80 for it was still better then work.
