I seem to be a police magnet they enjoy sitting on my rear bumper before realising I'm completely obeying the law. Been caught speeding recently though. I'll be completely open and those who live near Hereford will understand when I say i find it completely unfair. A 60-30 speed limit coming from Ross to Hereford change on the crest of a hill got caught by laser as I was coming over the hill with my brakes on the copper even said I'm aware you were slowing down to 30 but I've still got you doing 43 (yes I know it's still speeding sue me!) he didn't have much to say when I said "I was under the impression that you have to have reasonable suspicion that I'm speeding before checking speed and not check every car that pops over the hill" to which he said either way you were speeding. Seeing the footage in his car also shows my speed drop to just below 30 not a second or so after my car was first lasered (also the recording started just as you could see my headlights appear on the crest I thought the recording only started when the lasers trigger was pulled?). It's well known the local constabulary are crooked (west Mercia) and seem to be a glorified revenue creator after speaking to 5 retired and ex coppers of that constabulary. But I'm rambling and accepted yes I was speeding in a 30 zone but there was no rationality or reasonable judgement of the situation etc. With grass verges both sides completely clear at 12:30am on a Wednesday morning with no other cars. The golf driver who was pulled over before me had a few choice words about the Gestapo who pulled us over but ah well. Live and learn. Seen drivers in their 5 series beamers must be doing a tonne followed and had stern words which shake them. But instead in west Mercia... Well I've made my point.

I reckon I was guilty in their eyes before id even passed Into the 30 zone but you could say that's me being in self pitty.
