I was pulled over early one morning and the conversation went something like this:
Officer- do you know why I stopped you?
Me – No, sorry, do I have a brake light out?
Officer – No, think about what you just did.
Me – I honestly have no idea what I have done wrong officer.
Officer – do you have any identification on you?
Me – no sorry, only a debit card, but I only live over there *point to my house 100yds away* I can get some id for you.
Officer – don’t worry about it, is this your car? What colour were the traffic lights on as you went through?
Me – Amber well possibly just green and then Amber.
Officer – EXACTLY! you drove through on Amber.
Me *looking completely perplexed* ok, but I honestly thought it was fine to drive through as it was changing to Amber.
Officer – no, you must stop, I will let you off with a warning this time, have a good ride, where you off to?
Me – seriously you can’t go through on Amber, Surrey Hills.
Officer – seriously don’t push your luck. Enjoy your ride and don’t fall off.
did you switch from your vehicle to your bike mid conversation? no wonder he was pissed
