I dont drive for anybody, I get calls for my services though.

I joined to see if i can get a problem resolved and if Jeremy may be able to help about a very unfair speed camera van and a ludicrous £600 fine !!

45 gears Norky! For f***s sake get real!

Welcome to the nonsense Bozmech.

£600 fine! Bloody hell, how fast were you going?

Got done for speeding myself just south of Corby last month. 35mph in a 30 zone! Twats! Northants Police have very kindly offered me a place on their "Speed Awareness Workshop".

F***ing "workshop"! I'll take my toolkit with me!

Don't they talk some bollocks, eh? Thought they might want to tie me to a tree and thrash me with twigs for such a heinous crime. Got done two years ago as well....for doing 32mph in a 30 zone just north of Preston at 5:35 in the morning.

Last year Warwickshire plods tried to do me for doing 46mph on a dual carriageway on the A5 near Nuneaton (Red Gate), and claimed I was travelling in a North East direction. Eventually managed to extract a full written apology from them.

Meanwhile, they still haven't found the bastards who:-

1. Nicked my wagon last February.
2. Nicked 500 litres of my diesel last September.
3. Stole part of my load last January.
4. Slashed my curtains and nicked part of my load in December.
5. Broke into my father in law's shed in July.
6. Smashed into the side of my truck in Dudley last August and then f***ed off.
7. Broke the mirror of my Dad's car in Wales last summer.

Yeah, we can really be proud of our boys in blue, useless twats that they are. What a bloody waste of blue fabric they really are!

I bet Fifthwheel doesn't get all this grief stateside!

Keep on trucking, eh.

Well Norky you don't have to read if you're put off by the subject.Welcome Bozmech,sorry to hear about the tickets.I've been pretty lucky in that area,Went almost 20 years without a speeding ticket.Most states are 65 or 70 miles per hour so one can make good time all day.That makes it easy to do 500 to 600 miles a day.

Bit tricky playing the banjo at 70mph whilst steering with your knees. Better off with the steering wheel bongo!
