AAhhh,,,the Laurel and Hardy syndrome.

True but they were all long standing neighbors and I was the stranger who'd just moved in and could hardly speak the language.

Oh well, lesson learned.

Laurel and Hardy syndrome huh.

Don't feel bad about speaking the language. In small communities any outsider is an outsider. it proably wouldn't have helped

Oh well, lesson learned.

   ..aww.. that's sad ..and a teeny bit funny at the same time

Yeah, King convinced me to let it go in the end.

Felt really sorry for the wife.

But I'd make trouble for the traffic guy anytime, anywhere I can.

Got a letter from the Procurator Fiscal today.

10th of June I go to court.

I was thinking about going just to hear what they are saying about me, but I will plead guilty by letter. Don't what to talk myself into 30 days.

Wow, isnt it more concerning than that? 

[indie180]

In Scotland for minor offenses, you don't need to go to court you can plead guilty by letter. If I were to plead not guilty I would have to go.

Scottish law is different from English law on same things.

Can you do that in England.

Not wise being a smart arse with the fuzz. Be polite, feign ignorance and don't argue. It can make the process shorter and possibly less painful.

That's the Traffic Police for you, even the everyday Police don't like them.

I will get a big fine ?300 -?500  and 3 - 5 penalty points on my license, get 12 and you are banned for a year.

Luckily I don't have any points.

If you plead guilty by post the Fixed penalty comes into effect, a practice Harriet Harman likes to do in her spare time.

I got stopped the other night by a trafic cop. He asked me if I knew why he stopped me and I said that I didnt.
He then wanted me to get out of my car.
When I did I locked the doors. he got a little pissed off then and started nosing into the windows.
I asked if he had a warrant and he said he didnt need one.
I mentioned the ACLU and he let me go.
He was a twerp anyway.

Here where I live, 10 mph over the limit can be as high as 1000 dollars.

I have way too much contact with cops, it's one of the few downsides of a biker's life. Something I've noticed is how much information cops give up...one of the many downsides of their stupidity.

I will just to wait and see, the wheels are in motion now.

He was going to bust me, even if I had kept my mouth shut. The way he jumped out his van and ran over sticking the speed gun in my face, you would have thought he had just caught Jake the Ripper.
