WTF :shock:
I got £1500 and 6 points and it was at night and the Police said I was doing nothing wrong other than driving too fast and they said the I was doing over 115mph....but that was the last speed they recorded.

Tartan Rob...yours was sometime ago iirc? So, as I said before, is this indicative of a change in attitude somewhere?

I got clocked by the cops a few months back comming out of Chester, just caught them in my mirror on the off ramp, I was doing over 150 Again about a mile down the road another cop car waiting at the side of the road for me, as soon as I seen him I pulled over and stoped up behind him, jumped out of the car and started ranting about 'how someone tried to carjack me' back the road at the round-a-bout comming onto the road just before the cops clocked me doing the speed.

After five minutes discribing the people they drove infront of me until I got to where I was going, about 30 miles :D

Top result.....

I heard of someone from my town who said his wife was rushed to hospital and was in labour. The Police duly escorted him at very high speed to the hospital and then wanted some proof, needless to say he could not provide it and got done for speeding fine and perverting the course of justice....

Be it on your own head and wish I had thought of that..!

One other point, I was not aware but at night if they are in an unmarked car or you are in an un-light area, you do not have to stop, you can drive to a police station before stopping, that may buy you time and make the car jacking story more believable..?
