Schoolboy error getting nicked there. Everyone knows plod hangs around there hoping to nick footballers speeding through those tunnels.

Of course, sometimes the twonks come unstuck on their own.

Fair cop. It was the Manchester airport tunnels, 50 zone, a very nice policeman in unmarked Audi.

Is that night club still going on the Wilmslow side of the tunnel?

Was actually clipping early 80's, pretty consistantly around the early 70's.

3 points and 60 quid fine.

Manchester police are on a zero tolerance for speeders campaign this week.

Kicking myself........

You are Stek and you can keep your five licence points.

When the police tail you like that the speeding has to be sustained.

The one time I suffered a speeding fine in the UK, the police had followed me for "four tenths of a mile". This was in the days before electronic wizardry so the distance might not be the same now.

I went back and measured it via the odometer later. I thought they might have been slightly exaggerating the distance between two sets of lights, but it was a close call and did I really want to turn it into my word versus the word of two police officers? Nope.

There's a 20 mph zone near me.
