Driving Standards

[Bahnhof Strasse]

It's an issue for camper van owners. Strictly speaking, if your vehicle is on, or near a public highway, and you're in the back, pissed and asleep, you can be breathalysed and charged.

This woman wasn't in her car, merely near it. So we could all get done for being pissed in bed whilst the car is on the drive...

You'll like this hash tag, Frau Bahn got a speeding ticket in the post today, same fucking camera that I got done with.

No more speed awareness courses this time, that's point this time.
so much for the speed awareness course a few weeks ago

Thing is 3 weeks ago I got flashed on the newly re-opened bit of the M3 near Camberley doing 88, told her about it and was looking out for the dreaded envelope, it arrived yesterday and she came to my office and presented it to me with a smug grin on her face, "They took their time, but they got you..."

"Hold on, Chertsey, last Friday, 7pm? I was still at work then..."

Wiped the fucking grin of her mug.

Why keep doing it? I don't get it, it's fucking idiotic and selfish. Take away the potential risk to others, what if you both lost your licenses?

 

[hash tag]

Audi drivers should be, think they are exempt from the law. It wouldn't happen in a micra.

Both done for 36 in the 30, this is the road:



35 and you wouldn't get done.

So "idiotic and selfish" is a tad hysterical.

I have three points, before these my licence was clean for over 13 years. These are her first points in 24 years. So we're gonna have to go some to lose our licences.

Yeah we both should have been going 1 mile an hour slower, but we weren't.

You should have been going 6 mph slower actually!
I think it's more annoying because you seem to find it funny. You might not have been caught that often but they're not the only times you both speed I'm guessing. You were expecting another ticket for doing 88 weren't you?

Speeding is idiotic and selfish.

I know this is a standing joke but with one exception, everyone I personally know with an Audi is a bit of a cunt. [emoji1]

88 on a clear motorway in dry conditions is not idiotic or selfish at all.

It's ok to break the rules as long as you think its safe...

Exactly.

And the chief constable of every police force in England and Wales disagrees with you on this statement.

 

[cupid_stunt]

88 on a clear motorway in dry conditions is not idiotic or selfish at all.

But, still illegal, until or if limits are increased at some point.

Almost 50 years of driving, I've never picked-up any points.

*polishes halo*

FTFY.

No, cock. Audi make that quite clear.

So the speed limit on that road is 35 then?

I hope you mean me, Looby

Dorset solidarity ftw

No, it was 40, then they installed a camera and reduced it to 30, for which the National Police Chiefs Council agrees that 35 is acceptable.

 

[sleaterkinney]

Basically they don't have the manpower to arrest every motorist breaking the law.

I was talking about my mate Mark (because I haven't met you yet) but I'm sure you're only a little bit cunty. [emoji106][emoji6]

If I understand recent posts correctly, it is also speed camera's that have got it in for Audi's/their drivers?

All new Audi’s are RFID tagged to trigger new digital speed cameras when they pass irrespective of speed. Saves time.

 

[twentythreedom]

I obey speed limits by careful use of cruise control. But that's because I've got 9 points, otherwise I'd be driving like Mr and Mrs Strasse do.

Eta actually it's 6 not 9

 

[hash tag]

Stupid question ( I have never bothered with cruise control), does it adjust for going up and down hills?

 

[Spymaster]

Yes.

 

[twentythreedom]

It keeps to the chosen speed regardless of gradient, so yes.

Once managed 96 miles on cruise control without touching any pedals, which gave me a small thrill at the time.

Even my toaster has it in for Audi drivers.

It's useful when you need two hands free for skinning up / racking up lines on the motorway cos you can steer with your right knee

Did you get a nice letter through the post - your driving fine?

You missed a comma.
