I did one a few years back and we would have been there two hours less if some prick hadn’t kept chipping in with his theories and questions.Sunny wrote: Wed Jun 03, 2026 1:26 pmMe, two weeks ago, I couldn't stop myself repeatedly chipping in on the braking times with "based on a ten year old Ford Focus"...The Martian wrote: Wed Jun 03, 2026 12:40 pm I got an NIP last week, my first in almost exactly 20 years.
I saw the van on the overhead from a distance and lifted my foot but obviously not soon enough.
Soon to experience my first speed awareness course then, just hope I can stop my bullshit alarm going off for the duration

Re: Here we go again
That's turned out to be a false alarm, today is two weeks and no NIP has arrived here.
