Speed limits and Austin 7s

[Mike Costigan]

I remember my wife, Christine, driving her Chummy through Oxford in a 30 area some years ago, we came upon a Police Radar speed check/trap. This was in the days when the radar devices were hand held and looked like a hair dryer. I think she was pushing on a bit but the police officer on seeing the Chummy lowered his radar gun and he and his accomplice stood at the roadside laughing and waving.
There must be a message in this somewhere..........

The message never got though to the Warrington police - my only speeding ticket was for doing 52mph in my A7 van... err, in a 30 limit
