Well I have been back on the bike for a few months now after my high-side back in Oct 2017.

On the way home from work yesterday I was pulled in by a member of Essex motorcycle plod for 37mph in a 30mph area. He was well hidden and to be honest I was only doing 37mph because I had just changed gear after turning into the road.

With some advice about speed etc and a word of encouragement to try some advanced training I was allowed to return to my ride home. I think my age and the fact that he could see I was not a tearaway youth allowed him to just give me a slap and nothing more.

However it makes you think had is have been plod in a car might I have been given a fine and some training instead?????

Valhalla.

That’s the best thing with a real life police, they can make a judgmet call, and a good one in your case, where as a camera there and you’d have points plus a fine. We’re you on the Racer ?

Give me a Plod in person every time. I have been subjected to a deserved ear bashing and nothing more a couple of times in my riding career. 9 points from cameras on deserted motorways at between 11pm and 3am in the morning over a 5 year period.

I agree with popsky and Humbug and the same has happened to me ref Cameras and plod, Happy Days

Once you pass 'The Attitude Test', I've found most of the Plod who've stopped me for 'advice' to be pretty reasonable fellas. Once, in N.Wales, a Copper even apologised for his Chief Constable (Dick head Brunstrom - some years ago) for bringing them into disrepute by pulling bike needlessly
