Busted!

D'oh! I was on my way home the other day from work when I blundered into a Police speed trap and was pulled over. Aaaaarrrrgggghhhhh!!!! There goes my clean licence. 58kph in a 40kph zone is hardly Grand Theft Auto territory but the local plods weren't having any of my excuses/reasoning even if it was on a deserted stretch of road, down an incline and miles from the nearest pedestrian. Curses!



I don't even have the slight satisfaction of whingeing about being singled out for being a foreigner as three Japanese were caught in quick succession right after me. Nor can I go on about them being fascist bully boys, they were actually very polite and well mannered unlike that hollywood movie cop wannabe %&#@* (complete with mirrored sunglasses) who pulled my mate Ben and I over all those years ago on our way to watch ‘Macbeth’ in
Auckland. Oh well, I'll just have to be angry at myself for being so dumb:-(

Rant over!

These lawbreakers always have an excuse. it is always a deserted stretch, no people about etc. I say a crim is a crim whatever. as for that abused foreigner bit!! If it is any consolation they are clamping down on boy racers here too. Sympathy rating zero. Saint Dad
