    Text - Me, smugly: 'It was probably because I was doing 120 mph'. 'Actually, no. We only clocked you at 115.' (It's relevant that in the Isle of Man, on that stretch of road, there was no speed limit). 'So, what happens now, officer? 'You'll see'.

    Text - I set off very carefully, and the officer followed at a respectful distance, as I drove home. As soon as I entered our drive, he put his lights and siren on, so my mum, hearing the commotion, rushed out of the house and started talking to him. Then she strode purposefully over to me (I was still sitting in her car) and gave me the telling off of a lifetime.

    Text - I stole a glance at the police officer as he prepared to drive away. He had the biggest shit-eating grin you'd ever seen, as he started the car and set off, leaving me to my fate, tipping the brim of his cap as he left. Needless to say, it was very many months before I was able to borrow her car again That was great policing, though.
