PC Bloggs, in her ever helpful way, tells us about the top ten remarks that will guarantee you a ticket...
1. I pay your salary.
2. Haven't you got anything better to do?
3. I'm going to miss my flight now.
4. Please don't - I've already got 9 points.
5. I've got three babies in the back, don't let them see this.
6. My wife/child/aunt is dying in hospital!
7. Someone else was driving. He ran off that way.
8. While you're here, I'm being harassed by my neighbour.
9. I was too busy talking on my mobile phone and didn't notice the speed.
10. The accelerator was stuck on.
I must say that the line "I've just been slagging off John Prescott on Newsnight and I am rushing home to watch it on TV, officer," always seems to work for me...
UPDATE: Mars Hill Blog takes this on a stage further and gives the Policeman's likely response to each of the above HERE.
11. Would you like another doughnut?
ReplyDeleteAs Mel Gibson could tell you "heh sugar tits!" and "The jews start all the wars" are probably best avoided too.

ReplyDeleteseems to get their attention!!

ReplyDeleteI am muslim and therefore that supercedes an British Law.
ReplyDeleteSurely the best response to "I pay your salary." is "And you're about to pay a magistrate's too."
