Ive been stopped numerous times in last 8 years of driving and never been issued points or fixed penalty charge.. somehow ive always been able to get away with a warning or a cop shaking his head at me in disapproval as i slam on the brakes when going past them...
.. one time i was caught on A3, the london traffic cops stopped me for approx **mph over speed limit...
I acted dumb and asked if theyd stopped me cos my sports exhaust was too loud ...i then found myself in 20min conversation with them about TVR's and various other car exhaust sounds that are apparently illegal...we finished the convo and we were all just about to walk off and then they finally remembered why they stopped me and called me back to give me a proper warning. They let me off that time..i was damn lucky!
Another time i was caught by cops in Kingston and i was driving a 52 plate MK4 Astra turbo (that id modded up to 300hp) they said theyd followed me for 2 miles and had trouble keeping up.. but they loved the car so much and were more interested in looking what id done to the car to make it so fast (they were also driving the same year Astra but was diesel model.. and they stil couldnt understand it)
I trully beleive the best way to get out of a fine or points when stopped in our Z cars, is to try to change the subject .. try to make them think of something other than your speed, maybe think up an alternative good reason why they might have stopped u and ask them about it.. and always speak politely, they like to be called 'sir'.. they feel respected i guess.
If anyones got any good methods to avoid tickets pls share! or good stories?
