11.44pm on a saturday night down the old Devon expressway known as the A38, Justin here pulls onto the motorway the road is empty takes his golf tdi up to the steady 85-90 mark and sets sail home! Though, as i pull of the A38 onto the roundabout my heart sinks as i see the lovely sight of a Volvo V70 sat in my rear view mirror, i start making my way home, though it is apparent that he is following me! The lights come on i pull over immediatly, i step out of the car he invites me in. I get the usual police blab and then "how fast were you going?" i reply "aroound 80ish" wish in itself wasnt a lie, he then replies "we didnt have our (thingyamajig) on, though we had out camera on and have proof of you driving 90" he then played it back to me, asked me if i wanted to go to court. Now being 18 and have never been pulled over by the police i was sh*tting myself, in retrospect it might have been an almost arguable case in the courts as 1) it was dark and you can only just make out my car and 2) do they not have to be following you for a certain amount of time? But anyway i accepted the fact i was driving those speeds and took the 3points and £60 penalty! They were reasonable enough guys, that said i was just in the wrong place at the wrong time! But oh well, looks like for the next 3years im going to have to drive impecably as another 3points sees me having to re-take my liscense all over again!
Ahhh well i just hope it was some type of fate or something!
