Anyone had one of these?

[VNA]

Bit fed up with the po-po myself at the moment, They're after me for an "interview" over my crash the other night.

Crash?  Nae luck.  Hope you are OK.

But yeah I remember a few years back the police were doing ride outs out of the town here.  Improve your riding skills, reduce accidents was the idea.  I never went but those who did told me, the rules were 30mph speed limits must be respected - no ifs - no buts - out on the open road no ton up stuff.  You set off, they followed, stop at an agreed cafe or whatever and review riding skills, then back down the road practising what you have leaned and a chat at the end.

So they were pretty cool about folks pressing along country roads as long as they did it safely.

Now I've just had my first ticket and 100 quid fine.  Was I breaking the speed limit, sure, was I riding like a loon, no.  Was I polite and honest - yes, did it do me any good - no.  Straight to ticket, process me as quick as poss and pull the next bike.

It's zero tolerance and KPI's.

Next time I'm minded to pull out the smart phone, start recording and .............


Of course the other thing is I'm pissed I didn't spot em first, and yes they are trying to noise folks up (Dunoon police hitting their KPI's).  Grrrr.
