I'm guessing the process actually involves learning. Unlike in the US where you only need 2 eyes and a pulse.
Seriously, great story. I was clinching my butt cheeks reading it!

I've only gotten pulled over once (no speeding etc.), cop jumped out and started yelling about how he had better things to do. Somewhere in the yelling he mentioned my exhaust and whistling.
Sometime during his tirade another cruiser pulled up, and then he just sort of walked backwards to his car continuing to talk. Then he drove off. I was confused so I looked at the other cop in the cruiser that just arrived and they looked as confused as I did, so we both left

The day I went to pick up my FRS, I called my dealership and told them not to install the front plate, and that I would do it myself. On the on-ramp to the highway, cops had a check stop set up. I got a $110 ticket for no plate... I had only owned my for for a whole 15 minutes.

Lol, yeah diving test in England is no joke. Just before I got my license 10 years ago the government was about to pass a bill stating that driving economically was going to be included in the test (99% of the population learn on a manual, if you learn on an auto that is all you are allowed to drive, it's printed on the license!) so shift points and revs were to be monitored by the instructor. That was 10 years ago, I wouldn't even want to imagine it now! |

@VacantSky, cool story. I got my Brit license on the first try, a rare feat according to the examiner. It was more than I prepped or bargained for, that's for sure. I think he liked that I showed up in a Jag instead of another Yank in a Buick. Oh, never been pulled over in the FR-S (knocking on wood), I roll with a V1 and live in a national forest area the size of Rhode Island patrolled by one cop who only becomes ambitious around month end. |

No interesting 86 stories...but i do have one about doing 71mph in 30mph zone of a somewhat curvy isolated boulevard in my brother's stripped out car (only had seats and dashboard/gauge pod) with no muffler and a downturn exhaust, worn down DOT-R rubber, and way overdue inspection sticker right in front of a cop on a nice drive into work. Thought that white surburban coming to a stop behind me had some funky headlight issue when stopping for the stop sign and looking in the rear view mirror...and then it hit me...OH crap!
First words out of the officers mouth were: "Are you looking to go to jail today?" followed by "Any particular reason you need to be in such a hurry?" Ended up just getting a strong verbal warning to slow down and let on my way... That's the problem with driving a nice lightweight car you've modded for track/autocross that just wants to go and is bored by most roads.... you just go fast in certain areas when the mood hits and you feel confident. The car had 130hp/121lbft torque but the 8lb racing flywheel and 2300lb weight will full tank really made it take off in 1st and 2nd along with having much more throttle response than the FRS due to mechanical cable linkage and a Honda B18A motor...

I got clocked at ~130mph. Ticket was for 102 in a 60. He let me( and the fox body I was racing) go with just speed violations. And written warnings for "speed contest." No jail time, no court, $152 ticket and that's it. Luckly as hell! And yes I learned my lesson..

When I was finally back in Ontario long enough to warrant a provincial license I went in wrote the exam and got my appointment for my driving test. Showed up for the test in a beat up looking but mechanical wild 70 Coronet R/T. Instructor comes out looks at the car and gets a really pissed look on their face. They climb in and start in on me on how it is not and appropriate car, what do I think I am doing, etc.. then they notice the Supply and Transport Company base pass sticker on my windshield and things changed dramatically. Turns out he were an Army driver back in the Korean war. We sit and shoot the shit for about a 1/2 hour about the changes since he had been in and got a good laugh out of the fact I was still driving the same trucks he had 20 years earlier. He then says we better do the test and tells me to back out of the spot. I backed out. He says pull back in. I pull back in. He hands me the sheet says we are all done. I got perfect! But... more on topic! I have been pulled over 3 times in the FRS and with all of them the first words from the cop were "is this your car?". All just wanted to know more about the car.
