Perhaps it's a different case:

"Mr Storey had been clocked doing 68.7mph in a 50mph roadworks area of the motorway.

The officer, who has not been named, pulled alongside him to indicate he should slow down and saw him driving one-handed while he ate the chocolate bar."

From May 2000.

Im sure the officer will have learned a lesson which will be don't try and do anyone a favour by looking at a lesser offence, which it looked like he has done on this occassion.
It looks like it has back fired big time,so, a bollocking for doing 68.7mph in a 50mph which is in my boo k more dangerous if their are workers around,than if it was on lets say a national limit,I know it was a long time now but people wonder why the police behave like they do when they come across drivers like this.
I have done this lots of times and it has been ok,but there have been times when it back fires,but I still do it as not all people are like this one hopefully,thats life full of little learning curves.

Is that not supposed to happen then? Have I been reading a different bl**dy book this whole time?! I got if off a Chinese eBayer who swore to me it was the real deal. You'd have to know to be able to tell. I've been meaning to ask why nobody talks about the section on avoidance of Bullocks.

For the record though, His Dudeness was 10-2PPing but I think it was the Heel-Toe Braking (in slippers or possibly clogs) wot lead to his interesting parking skills. Good job someone filmed it. I love documentaries.



think I might go now...

Storey
Kit-Kat
Break

"But on Saturday police gave Mr Storey, 33, from Grantham, Lincolnshire, a break, saying the fine was "inappropriate" and would be quashed."

Hmmm... someone's got shares in Cadburys' no doubt.

Heinous! That would make it a worse offence. It's the very reason for why I only eat Ferrero Rocher when driving; no faffing about, just in yer gob and wrapper out the window. Done.
