I was just building up to a good old rant about DH getting done for speeding again

[kindersurprise]

when his phone rang, he is still on the phone.

I was fuming as this in the second time in the past few weeks.

Had a good look at the letter and realised that it is a lovely picture of myself, not of DH. Oops!

Thank God someone phoned him before I started ranting at him.

LOL!

oops - are you ever going to admit that to him ?

He is still on the phone, shall I hide the photo?

Do they automatically send you a photo of the driver these days?

Yikes, we can't ration out the points between us any more!

I would sheepishly show him and tell him I was just about to start shouting at him !

We are in Germany, they send a photo of the car with driver.

My SIL had the police at the door one time as they had not changed their address and they wanted to check who the driver was. SIL was just about to deny all knowledge of who the driver could be, and say that he must have borrowed her car without her knowledge. Her DS was about 4 at the time, he looked at the photo and shouted, "there is Granddad".

Poor SIL, she had no chance. The policeman was ROFL

Ok, I came clean.

And then he admitted that he was caught speeding a couple of weeks ago too and he was going 30km/hour too fast so he might lose his licence for a month.

He needs his car for his work so he will have to hand his licence in over the Xmas period where he would not be driving so much anyway.

I was not in a position to complain though. It was just luck that I happened to see the police and was able to slow down otherwise we would have both been without a licence.

sounds like you both need to be more conscientious about observing the limits.

When was he going to tell you ?

kinder, thats v funny!!

I do not often speed, and not at all in my car, but his car is quite powerful and before you know where you are, you are over the limit. He does a lot of driving and I do have to tell him to slow down sometimes. Maybe I should give him my car.

I think he was hoping that the policeman with the speedgun somehow missed him and nothing would come of it. We shall have to wait and see.

He isn't that bad actually, he still has a clean licence, considering he drives upwards of 50 000km a year that is ok.

true. But if a license is that important to his lifestyle then he has to be extra careful to make sure he doesn't lose it.

I'm not preaching - I know how easy it is to go too fast - I often drive the same road and even this morning I forgot the particular section where it goes down to 40mph - until the flashing light reminded me - luckily it is not a camera one.
