Too old ?

Bloody Old Farts out again. You should be at home having your Nanna Nap :-D

There are advantages aren't there.

The other night I picked my daughter up at the airport in Mildura at 8:25 pm local time. It's only a three hour drive home with skippy hopping about all over the place. A fairly uneventful three hours passes and I'm on the outskirts of Broken Hill, just lifted my foot to let the car slow down for the 80 zone which I am not yet in. I only half notice the car going the other way but I do notice the brake lights and blinker come on. The rear door on the Patrol pops and the interior light comes on so I indicate and pull overto fix it. Next I've got the christmas tree flashing. What the...?

I am already getting out of the car when he starts yelling at me "Stay in the car."

I ignore him and fix the back door which he challenges me over. So I head back to the drivers seat. He asks me where I have come from. Now I don't know how well you know Broken Hill but there aren't a lot of options down that road. do you think I can remeber the name of that place. "Just tell me yor address and speak into the machine sir." Thats easy I think haven't had a beer in about 6 days. So I tell him my address and he lets me go. "Oh I've just come from Mildura I yell at him as I drive off."

He just shook his head. I'm sure he was thinking "Senile old fool" as he watched me down the road.
I had fun.

Duncs

The cops will pick you up if you're going too SLOW - they figure you're up to no good :-)))

and while they're checking you out I go flying past and get away with it...thanks!!!! (i wasnt really there but if Ipswich happened to be in nowra yest. that woulda been me!)

too old.....yeah....why not... age has gotta have a good side at some stage!!

I wasn't going too slow, or too fast according to the digi readout. The only scary thing apart from me in the car was the numbers on the analogue speedo...at the end stop.
Maybe they saw the car, person in cap and thought right , stolen or just a hoon ? Or maybe they wanted me to do a runnerso they could have some fun.
Or maybe I exceeded the 60 limit for one nonosecond downhill.

I spotted an Old lady probably late 70’s yesterday driving a VX Commodore SS Ute with the Gen3 V8, LOL Good on her I say.

Dunno aboput you blokes.

I have only been stopped 3 times in 16 years.

Before that only since 1980 when I did a U turn into some unsuspecting traffic in Darwin. I ended up in hospital....LOL

Couple of years ago in Port Hedland , a wife called boyfriend to come and reason with husband . Husband finished up dead , so at two o'clock in the morning they put him in the back of the ute and headed out of town to give him a quiet funeral . As luck would have it , or perhaps it was the ute , they were pulled over for a Random Breath Test . The policeman had a look in the back of the ute . Up here the RBT is now refered to as the Random Body Test .
