Should Not Have Done That!

How many of you have thought that after an overtaking maneuver?

[chas2008]

yep, every now again when you get a bit complacent , sort of wakes you up ..

[Old_Geezer]

Once or twice when I was younger. Been a very long time since I recall one though. I suppose mainly because I use motorways so have less risk when overtaking as I might on fast A roads.

How about after an AB posting? :c)

Once after dropping a cog and flooring it to get past three slow wagons all doing about 60 k. Absolutely no oncoming traffic but just as I pulled back in again I saw the copper hiding in the stinging nettles with his hairdryer. The look on his face was like his birthday and Christmas coming together and he jumped in the squad car like a rat up a drainpipe.

Six or seven k down the road when he caught me up he wasn't in a very good mood and told me I would be getting a ticket in the post for doing 139km/h in an 80 zone. One k extra he said and it would be a court case for dangerous driving. But I got nothing through the post, they must have lost this internally.

Spikey, you weren't driving a black Pontiac Trans-Am at the time were you.

Quite recently up in the north york moors on the A171. Brilliant road - you can see ahead for miles. Overtook about 6 cars. Hadn't had the car long and didn't realise just how fast I would be going when I got past them all. I thought 'that was a bit silly'.

Last week - when a Woman indicated Left & turned right when I was passing alongside on the motorbike pictured, 30MPH I may add.
3 days in Hospital, lost top of index finger, multiple bruises, Bike written off,
most of the protective equipment written off, my camera is also dead,
apart from that I don't think twice about it.

No Sigma, just a black Opel Vectra 2.0 DTI. The coppers there can't find their arse with both hands. Got a letter a few weeks after that offence with the crest on the envelope but it was for an offence detected by a mobile camera and the car in the picture was a Ford Focus. The registration plate was clear, you could see it wasn't mine but the cheap & nasty text recognition software clearly couldn't read. That is the sort of slapdash, British-Leyland-esque "it'll do" mentality that was the likely reason I got off scott free for driving like my hair was on fire.
