I don't want to tempt fate by posting this but at 22 I have a clean licence...

The month after passing my test I was pulled by an un-marked car doing 112mph in a 1.2 Clio (technically impossible - it's quoted top speed was 106mph). Anyway, it should have been an instant ban I think, but the cop was obvs in a good mood and I recieved a £60 fine and 3 points.

Since then I have never broken the speed limit.  :whistle:

No points "yet" but not really changed my driving style since having the Abarth.

I got 5 points and £300 for doing 89 on a 60 in my old 1.2 ibiza but never been stopped for speeding in the abarth... Had a close call with a fixed camera, never saw it as there was a lorry blocking it as I overtook, saw the lines on the road last minute, was doing over 90, pretty sure the lorry blocked the camera from seeing me aswell though because I never heard anything from it, and I know the camera works as since then I've seen it flash someone else :P

Been pulled twice for other things though. Once because the police assured me I was driving with my fog lights on through the town, I had to prove they were in fact my DRL's, idiots >.<

And also been stopped to sound check my exhaust, well I was parked up with the engine idleing and they parked behind me and blocked me in, hopped out with some fancy rod thing and did the check after telling me they were going to :o Its just the standard factory exhaust so not even CLOSE to being over the limit, they must have been bored that day

Yeah it was pretty special, I made the guy stand in front of my car as I flashed abou 8 times, and then put the real fogs on, and that was after first pointing at my dash asking where the fog light symbol was glowing
