Hi Guys,
Just got back from a trip I would rather forget. My wife was taking one of my kids up to Perth (250kms from where we live)for medical reasons ( he has CP) and on the way comes across a bad car accident. My wife is second on the scene. A car is on its roof with two women in it screaming for someone to get them out. One has a broken leg and both have bad facial wounds.
My wife helps get them out and comfortable. When the ambulance arrives my wife continues trip (complete with blood stained clothes). Upon reaching her parents house in Perth my eldest son is freaking out and says he needs me. I get the call at 7:30pm and grab the bike and rush up.
I was doing 160kmh in a 110 zone. After about 50kms I slow down as there's a few roos about, and this cop car comes up behind me. It seems they were trying to catch up to me for the last 40 kms and have radioed ahead for a roadblock!! They start talking about having to arrest me as I was 50kmh over the limit but I explained why I was speeding and they lower it to 40kmh over the limit which costs me $350 and 6 demerit points (once you have lost twelve your license is suspended).
Ok they let me go and I ride within the speed limit the rest of the way. Tonight I left to return home, stopped at the usual petrol station to fuel up but they said their bowsers were not working. The next fuel station is about 30kms away and I was already on reserve. I get there do a U turn at the traffic lights as the fuel station is on the other side of the road. As I turn into the station I hear a police siren and sure enough its me they're after. I cop another $100 fine and two more demerit points. "Illegal U turn at traffic lights" They asked if I had any recent infringements and I tell them about the previous night and they look at each other and say "oh so youre THAT guy. I explain the story to them and they tell me to take it easy and I am on my way again.
I got home tonight at about 9:00pm had two beers and vowed NOT to ride my bike tomorrow (Sun). I think I'll wash it instead.
The end result I am $450 out of pocket and only have two demerit points left.[B)]
