Gather round children; let me tell you the cautionary tale of why you shouldn't do nearly twice the speed limit past Hyundai i30s.
Was heading home (late) from work last night, trying to make the little one's bedtime. Coming through Camden, I saw a long light ahead of me was still green. Gave the GS a fistful past a grey Hyundai and through the lights - just.
It's all 20mph round there. Was easily doing 35, probably 38-40.
Suddenly the Hyundai lights up the blues and sirens and comes chasing after me. After the least exciting chase ever, they stop me just before the next set of lights.
"License please sir"
Off back to the car for a few minutes to talk to the officer in the passenger seat.
"This is a high street. Please drive carefully in the future. We won't be taking this any further"
Adrenaline dumps into the system and I make a super English apology and am on my way.
Don't be like me.
I presume you weren't wearing your GS-approved 'polite' vest then? Seriously though, always good to be reminded to keep speeds down, especially in built up areas. Pleased they were reasonable and all turned out okay.
