What you gonna do…
As I write this I am a fugitve from the law.
In Britian, 4 speeding tickets will get your license suspended indefinetely, 5 will get you thrown in jail. I had 7 in 6 weeks. Not because I’m speed racer (36mph in a 30 zone is hardly Lewis Hamilton) but because I’m an idiot. I honestly didn’t realize the light flash I saw everytime I came down Hinckley Road was a speed camera until after I got the 7 tickets in the mail. I thought it was probably a strobe light in the Kebab shop across the street, maybe they do disco nights, who knows? So when I went back to the States in May from Leicester, I assumed that was the end of it since I don’t own a British license.
So Today I got a phone call from the my General Manager in Leicester when I was there last year, ’Flinder, 2 police officers were at your old apartment yesterday. They have a warrant for your arrest. Please call them immediately.’
My run continues, the case remains unsolved.

There’s only one thing to say to that..
“Bad Boyd, bad Boyd, whatcha gonna do when they come for you?”
ahhh..clever. i like it.
Hey Flinder,
My wife also “smiled” for the Hinckley Rd camera and got 3pts, it is the highest grossing camera in Leicestershire, although that stat has probably massaged by your exploits [!], to be honest though, i thought you could only get done for “attempted” speeding in a Kia……….
Hope you get a deal soon and not a stretch behind bars……
