Was out for a ride with a (now) ex-friend.
We were heading back to dispatch to turn in some papers from a package drop.
Both of us riding a bit fast ’cause we just wanted to get home.
You know how it is.
Nothing too aggressive but certainly not 70.
Anyway, (now) ex-friend opens it up coming across the Severn bridge.
I decide not to push it and just let him go.
I pass him a couple of minutes later pulled over by the fuzz.
When he catches me up at the next services he is cheesed off.
1. Because I didn’t “stop and help him talk his way out of it” with the police.
2. Because I am refusing to pay half of his speeding ticket he got handed.
And this is the clincher, because he was aggressive with the officer, it isn’t just a “pay this and get some points” ticket.
Now he actually has to show up, in court, and get a dressing down by the magistrate.
And because I said I won’t go to court with him, he’s super pissed about that.
And that’s the last time I basically use my afternoon off to ride with an (ex) friend Cardiff to Bristol so he has got some company dropping off a package ’cause he didn’t want to do it alone.
Fuck ‘im.
