Ive never had a problem with the cops but I drive at the speed limit (most of the time), When I do get pulled over they walk up and see a crusty old bloke and when I ask if everything is OK they usually say they pulled me over because they thought some young guy was driving and they usually act like a idiot so are easy targets for fines, Ive had my bonnet popped and the cops have laughed and said if I was kid the car would never see the light of day again with the amount of defects it would get.
I also hand my Army Licence over first to try and calm the waters, LOL.
Its the experience of the older drivers that lets us get away with it I think, Me at 44 with28yrs of driving experience and the 20 yr old with 4 yrs.
I did get smashed by them in the early 80s when I got my licence and was racing around the streets in Minis then moving on to Lj Toranas,
Thinking back Im lucky not to have killed myself or some other poor bastard street racing when I was young.
