I am renowned as a slow n safe driver; I’m confident on the roads but slow. I love to watch fast cars and bikes on the tracks etc but am not keen on flying about on our over-crowded roads – I’d probably die of fright in JL’s car

In my 27-odd years of driving, I’ve never had a speeding notice, parking fine – any kind of motor related ‘hooo-harrrr’. I’ve always been quite proud of that. Now, before you all rush to polish my halo, guess what I have: A Notice of Impending Prosecution

yeah, the fooker arrived in the post yesterday – made my day!!!

I kinda know where it was (I was not on a ‘familiar route’

, I definitely know where I was going and that I was there about that time of day, I can’t for the life of me remember a speed camera or a ‘flash’, plus I’d have laid a tenner on it being a 40 zone...... ho-hum, it got me, zapped square on the speedo – 39 mph, in a 30.

So, I have to reply saying, ‘YES, OK it was ME driving’, (nerdy nerdy, yeah, yeah, you caught me fair n square) – stick 3 points on my driving licence and fine me £60 odd squids, blemish my treasured ‘clean’ license see if I bloody care!!!

Am I bitter about this? – Me?? Nah

/me off to speak to JL for advise on ‘getting over’ speeding fines

Believe it or not: my license was the cleanest ever (points) for almost 28 years - UNTIL a couple of weeks ago. Now I'm the proud owner of 4 points!!
