How to get off speeding!!
A pensioner drove his brand new Mercedes to 100 mph, looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a police car behind him. He floored it to 140 , then 150, ... then 155, ... Suddenly he thought, "I'm too old for this nonsense !" So he pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the police car to catch up with him.
The officer walked up to him, looked at his watch and said, "Sir, my shift ends in ten minutes. Today is Friday and I'm taking off for the weekend with my family. If you can give me a good reason that I've never heard before, why you were speeding... I'll let you go."
The Man looked very seriously at the police man, and replied :- "Years ago, my wife ran off with a policeman, I thought you were bringing her back." !!!
The Cop left saying, " Have a good day, Sir "...Today is the oldest you've been and the youngest you'll ever be again.

This might be slightly off topic... but worth watching this video from a fellow transit driver:
(skip to 1:40 the earlier stuff is irrelevant)
Stopped for speeding...
This is why you should have a dashcam with GPS. They let him off when he showed them the footage of the cars in front pulling away, the recorded speed and explained the limiter. He said there were no vans behind him but they said they got mixed up with another black transit !!! I wonder how many people just paid up that day?2005 D3 HSE 2011 D4 Landmark 2016 D4 HSE Lux
