It was 2am, I was leathering it home at double the speed limit after "enjoying the company" of my then bird who lived with her parents at the time who had been upstairs asleep as I erm "enjoyed the company" of the my then squeeze.<br /><br />I was tested clear and let off the speeding fine.

The circumstances were interesting. I was driving an acquaintance home, and he said, 'Drop me right here. this'll do.' And I was looking for somewhere to pull over and let him out. Eventually, in the dark, I came to a stop at a clear bit of pavement. And then he sat jabbering in the passenger seat and wouldn't get out. Next thing the fuzz were banging on the window. I'd stopped on a zebra crossing. They said I'd parked there. I was stuffed in the back of their police car and breath-tested. No problems, because I'd only had a half of lager two hours beforehand. I'd been driving erratically because I was looking for some place to drop this garrulous man who who wouldn't get out of the effing car when I did.Frank Davishttp://frank-davis.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-58065138716524724832009-12-13T20:59:59.480+00:002009-12-13T20:59:59.480+00:00The two above are my tardness, apols.

I have experienced some awful driving from private hire drivers, but I have never been in a cab with a driver I suspected had been drinking. Nowadays, of course, a lot of them are Muslims.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-31118277718844129432009-12-13T18:53:34.934+00:002009-12-13T18:53:34.934+00:00Just an observation.

I worked as a weekend minicab driver for nearly three years in the 90s and wasn't stopped once.<br /><br />And this was when the only marking was a magentic aerial on the back. <br /><br />Make of that what you will. ;-)Dick Puddlecotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01481866882188932892noreply@blogger.com
