It's all getting a bit much isn't it.

[Green X]

I do 28 day stints away on the mines so my Car sits around allot, anyway my Grandfather who is 80 had a bit of ruining around to do a few days ago and thought he would give My XR6 Turbo a bit of a drive and a wash for me since I was away.

get's pulled up by the cops for speeding. some young copper hiding behind a pole who properly just thought he nabbed a 24Yo Smart A$% I.E> ME LOL.

Politely he tells the officer that he is sorry and that this is his grandsons car he had never really driven it before, as it was quite a bit faster/ powerful than his own car's (Classic Merc and a Honda) and that it had caught him out, also that this was his first speeding/ fine in 60 years of driving!!

Police officers response, So What, not my problem mate! (With attitude)


Now ya wonder why the police have a image problem ( if i had been in the passenger seat, there would have been a show some respect to ya elders ( with a few F's in the mix aswell)

Now I'm sure everyone has a differing opinion on stuff like this, but i feel simply, a be more careful in the future sir and a official warning would have been more appropriate to such a seasoned driver.

He son in Law who has been a cop for 35 years simply said, back in the day there would have been commonsense used and a fine more than likely would NOT have been issued, and more or less the Guys in Traffic are a bunch of Insert bad words hear.

It's coming up more and more and i have experienced it my-self, Got sprung for a random inspection on my Gun safe a few months ago when i did a Rifle addition, the older officer 40 or so, I spoke to politely gave him all the information and he was friendly and easy going even had a bit of a laghf with him, the younger officer acted like he was trying to catch me out on anything he could like i was a potential criminal!
