In particular...





I'm English. Lived in Scotland for the last 2 years. Born in Newcastle, lived all over the UK and in the US and Germany. Perhaps you have some other prejudice you can use instead?

I'm not a ned at all.

If I had been stopped for a random check it would have been perfectly acceptable.

What I was stopped for was, I presume, 31 in a 30. I found it quite funny that such an insignificant reason would be used when a "just a quick word please sir. We are doing some random checks " etc etc etc. I would have been ok with that.

And before you jump down my throat for 31mph........he was on his own and there were many obstacles in his view so it was in all probability wrong.

The bike was reading 46 so I must get it in and get it checked:D :D

I hope you are not being "racist" :) only jocking!

Nowhere does he (in his own words) say he is "one of the neds of the biking community".

I think what was meant, was not that he called himself a ned, but he implied that the last person who was pulled over for no apparant reason was a ned,
and therefore he is now no different.

Does it matter whether the Termis are legal or not or if he was doing 30 or 31mph. The point is the policeman's attitude and behaviour would appear to have been aggressive and discriminatory and this is not acceptable no matter what we choose to ride/drive.
Fergie appears to shrug this off and claim he had a better day than the policeman, and perhaps he did but I'm sure he would have had a far better day had he not had this experience at all.
At one time most people had a respect for the police, but nowadays with this sort of attitude being prevalent the police are doing themselves no favours and are becoming more and more alienated from the general public in all fields, not just road traffic. Where in the past we might have got a warning and told to "get it sorted" for a minor infringement like a registration plate of the wrong size or a blown bulb, now we can expect a fixed penalty and a mouthful of abuse.
I for one no longer have any respect for the police whatsoever and I know I'm not alone.

Couldn't agree more with this statement, especially the last line. I honestly believe if I was driving home and saw a beat cop being attacked I would stop and help - if it was a traffic cop, I'd look the other way... shocking ??? NO, I spent two and a half YEARS in an out of court becuase traffic cops LIED on the stand as to the location of a speeding incident.... they are SCUM with uniforms. They think they are elite. I am NOT a ned, I own a very successful buisness and drive a variety of superbikes and cars - these idiots treat everyone the same. Yes, some morons on bikes do exist, but all too often we're treated with contempt just becuase we drive on two wheels (some on one - MARTIN !!!). As I said in a previous post, Strathclyde Police PLC, a not for profit organisation, my ARSE, it's REVENUE and don't let anyone fool you otherwise. Anyway gripe over, I don't like traffic cops - and NOT becuase of the job, becuase of the stinking attitude. I got done for 86mph on the M6, fair enough I was doing 86mph - but as usual Mr Attitude and the "body bag" stories.... get a grip, and some new lines copper !!

I can beat you there - I got done for 80 on M6 :p :o
and I'm not disputing the fact that I was breaking the limit either.... ever so slightly as it may have been it was still over 70 :(
............ I'm just bloody lucky I was in an ancient VW Scirocco that wouldn't go any faster than that:D
