to be overjoyed that DH got stopped and fined for speeding?

[JackBauer]

He is a biker. He rides too fast.
After much discussion he part exed his GSXR1000 (v fast) bike for a KTM (not as fast, but still quite quick)
He drove up to IL's today and got pulled by an unmarked car doing 92. If he had been on the GSXR he would have been doing over 100 easy.
He feels like a twat, especially since the cop told him he had seen him undertake someone (he let him off though as he was about to pull her over for driving slowly in the fast lane, but still) and he had coem past him (the policeman) at a speed well exceeding legal but luckily for DH there was no time to measure his speed.

FINALLY he has been caught out and now he feels like a nob for it. and he has promised to slow down!

£60 happily spent IMO.

serves him right.

Too right! Well done the police and shame on your DH!

Fingers crossed this shames him into driving safely!

Getting caught was the only thing that made DH change his was so YANBU

He made sure I was in teh DD@s earshot when he told me as he knew my instant reaction would be to swear at him.
As it was I asked MIL to smack him for me, apparently she used her hospital bed controller. haha. hope it hurt.

My bloke was pulled on his GSXR1000 doing 71 in a 30 (in defence it was an empty 3 lane 30, coming past school playing fields at midnight on a clear dry night, so not really a serious hazard to anyone but himself). He finally admitted to himself that he'd got away with it for far too long and the next stop was either prison or the crem. He put the bike in autotrader the next day.

Will it change him permanently though?

You should get him and the police to get him on an awareness course, really open his eyes to who he could be hurting.

only JUST a fix pen tell him

Oh I know coder, and so does he.
A teeny tiny part of me wants him caught at oevr 100 so he loses his licence for a bit as I would never let him ride again. But that would cause me no end of extra work [lazy]driving him round so only a teeny tiny part.
Apparently the policeman asked if he had DC's and then proceeded to guilt trip him.
He never speeds in built up areas, motorways and country roads are his 'nemesis'

nobber

soh, that might not be a bad idea atcually. will look into it.

YANBU. My Dad got caught a two years ago - twice in one week. He had a previously unblemished driving record but I felt he had started to drive too fast. Its been the best thing to happen. He did the awareness course and is better for it.

i hope he means it when he says he;ll slow down

my best friend;s dad died in a motorbike accident, driving too fast.
she has sobbed on my shoulder many a time over why he would do that, why he would risk it, how he said he'd never leave her and then he idd and it was his own stupid fault

too sad

DH used to do this on his Gixer, I am so glad that he hasnt got a bike at the moment (well he has three but all in various stages of being done up.)
