| Just Call Me Lucky!
Six of us went from Exeter over Dartmoor across to Bude and then between Bude and Barnstaple we were stopped by the police. Three of us had put the hammer down and went past a police car. He didn't follow so we thought we had a lucky escape. As it turned out he radiod to a colleague on a motorcycle. After about 10 miles of very commited riding we come up behind a queue of Sunday drivers, I look in my mirror and it's full of Police Motorcycle! He pulls us over and gives us a lecture.
To be fair he was absolutely right. Did not patronise and was not sarcastic.
He said he had never before had to ride so hard to catch us. Our speed was totally unjustified etc.
You could tell he was a bit angry.
He had clocked Freddie at 110mph as he was third in line. He said we were facing a 12 month ban.
"I don't know what to do" he said. I've got the option to send you on a rider awareness course. We made some contrite and humble noises and he decided to do this.
Phew!
We consider ourselves very lucky indeed.
At the begining he said we would get 3 points and a £60 fine aswell.
After doing all the paperwork he said we would get our licences back once we go on the course. He then said the licences would be exactly as they are now unaltered.
Anyone know if we'll get the points or not?
Either way I feel very lucky.
