About 2 years ago I was nearly home after work driving through the main road through our village when cop with a radar gun appeared, he asked me what the spped limit there was (30 mph)then turned the gun around to show me the display - 44, my heart sank being convinced I was going to get my first ever points (I'm 54 so must have been born lucky!). He asked if I was going home, I replied yes, he asked where I live and when I told him "at the end of this road" he simply suggested I watch my speed in future and wished me a good evening!!!
A couple of years prior to that I was at the rear of a line of traffic on the A25 doing somewhere between 35 and 40 in a 30 zone. A parked police car pulled out and followed us until he switched on his blue lights and pulled me over. His opening comment was "I know there was a load of you speeding but you were at the back so tough luck!". When I passed a breath test he sent me on my way with no points but it did destroy my theory that they'd always go for the bloke at the front
