got caught by the old bill tonight on my way back from a friends house, a bmw was right on me bum and a open A48m, so me being me booted it, bmw staying up the side of me, i see some lights coming up fast behind me, i slow down and bmw shoots off.
Next thing police car shoots off down the road and up the slip road following the bmw. i thought dam that was close, carried on and came off at my junction, police waiting on the roundabout, they follow me then 5 police cars block me in.
130mph recorded and dangerous driving charge.

im such an idiot

Sorry to hear that mate..

Its easily done i suppose..

Did they catch the BMW driver??

skylight · 26 Oct 2006, 11:43 AM

ive heard the coppers are using dummy cars - (a black evo 8 included) for tempting people then doing them... The evo apparently lures people into giving it some - around the corner coppa is awaiting!

Hope all works out Lee - keep us informed.

Ive told myself im nmot going to worry, will get a solicter to plead guilty but to lay it on thick that it was a moment of madness, if i lose my license i lose my job, my rented house blah blah and hopefully get a very short ban.
But in th emean time i have 6-7 weeks before the summons come so hey ho.

Oh and yes they did get the beemer, and that 1 series was dam quick, i had to drop into 5th. wonder what engine he had

Tidgy · 26 Oct 2006, 12:06 PM

possibly you could argue that the only reason you did it was cos of the bmw tailgating and it scared you etc etc

UK300 Lee · 26 Oct 2006, 12:42 PM

UK300 Lee · 26 Oct 2006, 02:04 PM

i dont mind the police, if you dont break the law there is no problem, i knew i was breaking the law as soon as it said 71mph, so might fault entirly. If you take th e risk expect to get caught.
I have an application at the moment to join south wales police, i think i might get rejected.......

Tidgy · 26 Oct 2006, 02:07 PM

true mate, but people try to get out of more serious stuff, also say that it would mean loosing your job, you've learnt your lesson wont do it again. at least worth a try
