Hi, seems very unfair to do porridge just for sppeding.
> but you never know if that's the only cop or if they're doing a sting > and there's a gaggle of em round the next bend. Here in London you can drive clockwise most of the way around Hyde Park, but when you get to Knightsbridge there's a junction with no right turn (same as no left turn in primitive countries <g>). For years I used to drive around the park and, like thousands of others, completely ignore this silly restriction. One Sunday I was pottering along, driving round the park, and I made the illegal right turn. There was a line of about 20 policemen across the road, stopping all the people who did a right turn. It was like a Clint Eastwood film. One of them sauntered over to me. I wound down the window and he leaned his head in. Plod: Now then, Sir. What foul crime have we just committed? Me: Um, well, I'm not sure, actually, really. Plod: Do you know how many 'No Right Turn' signs there are at that junction, Sir? Me: Sorry, no. I didn't see any, or I wouldn't have turned. Plod: Shall I tell you how many 'No Right Turn' signs there are, Sir? Me: Yes, please. Plod: There are 12, Sir. Anyway, he let me off with a slap on the wrist, and I've never turned right there again, in all these years. -- Cheers, Bob
