  |  Don't get complacent about cops/cameras
Got nabbed for 128/80 (km/h) so 48 over, the cop put down the charge as 30 over, as 30 over means i'll likely get a 3 month suspension (unless i pull a minor miracle) and 45+ means i would have lost my wheels for 6 months on the spot. I guess in a way i was lucky i was on my way to work... Anyway the lesson learned is be on your guard even on the way to work, and don't cut traffic too fast as it may bite you in the backside. nb. i was polite, apologetic, said i had a new bike (to me) and had overtaken some cars and forgot the level of umph that my new bike had. Maaaan if only he bumped it down to 28 over, but that'd be like Homer Simpson asking Monty Burns for a raise, not gonna happen. I was just happy he shaved enough off for me to keep riding for a bit and for a shorter holiday. |
