Okay, this morning, on the way to work, on the N1, I'm driving.
I see this white van with a camera in it, quite far ahead.
Anyways, I'm driving, but then I see this silver ... I'm not sure, maybe a Mazda or Toyota, a sporty car flying in the right line.
I put my hazards on, you know, being nice, try to let him know but yeah. That doesn't work.
He is doing, what... maybe 100.
Now I was thinking the whole time, "dude, slow down... sloooooow DOWN!!!!!!!"
He gets to a point where he passes me (but maybe 1m ahead of me) and slams on the brake, I can see hands in the car waving about so I'm thinking, hahaha - IDIOT!
Then I look down (I don't know why) at my speedo and see that I was doing just under 80.
This whole time, I was trying to warn this idiot (and hope that he slows down) and I was gradually picking up speed (I normally do border line 70 on that road)
Anyways, here is my 'oh bother' reason.
I was chatting to a friend a while back about my first speeding fine, and the 1st thing she said to me was "was there someone driving fast on the right of you / passing you" too which I answered "I dont know" then she hinted "just make notes of this in the future"
She works at the traffic department so that raises a whole slew of questions.
So, let's say I get a speeding fine for this mornings incident and it says I was doing 100 (which I know the other car was probably doing) and I know I was doing about 80, they'll probably give me a picture and crop it with my car in it, saying I was doing 100 or whatever - but I'll make a scene.
Anyone else heard about this?
Thoughts? Comments?
