Double bugger.......

Brisbanites may know this one.

Coming home from work on Friday through Bardon on Stuartholme drive.

Its a 50k limit & I use it most days so I know to be riding my brakes on the downhill section because it's a favorite haunt for Police Radar.

So anyway.... I've got some idiot client on the hands free & me freaking brain is somewhere else till the kindly blue clad officer stands out in the road with his laser & directs me to the end of a goodly line of $$$$$ for the gumment coffers.

Yeah......It was a top way to start the long week-end.

63 in a 50 so there goes another $150 & here comes 3 big points.

What really sent me into a deep depressive mood was that I had driven about 400K that day, through all kinds of city & rural areas (Including school zones) not once exceeding the limit by more than a couple of K's. I really do consider myself a bloody careful driver these days & the thought that I can't blame anyone else.........Specially when I had to tell the SWMBO that I'd just frittered away her Mothers Day gift...........

Talk about Dark & Stormy..........

Geez I hate that...............

Would be the only place they'd catch a spazda exceeding the speed limit....on a downhill stretch!

I hope Mrs Claude didn't hurt you too much

I think we'd all agree that Mobile phones definitely take our minds of the duty at hand.

Personally, I'd love for them to be totally banned in cars so I could switch mine off and have a reason not to answer "work" calls.

Love the title of this topic! Should be so much more of it and less blaming the rest of the planet for careless driving.

Outstanding.

I.B.

Absolutely spot on. Too many people shunting blame around the place. Nice one Mack.

Good on ya Mack, nice to see someone not bitching about having the world involved in a conspiracy against them just because they done got caught!

To the contary, this thread shows a complete disrepect for internet etiiquette, where flying off the handle and jumping up and down to be heard is the norm. As for you Mack, where is your imagination, surely a gent with your life experience can come up with something to blame.

I feel like I am on an accounting forum, not a car forum.

Well there was no physical violence Trent, but the look......you know, the look..........

I believe its commonly referred to as THE DEATH STARE
