True story - I think its funny
Posted: Fri Aug 19, 2005 2:46 amI thought i share a conversation l had with a police officer last night. I think its rather funny.
I live and work in Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur. Last night I was taking a lovely young lady from singapore out for dinner. After I picked her up from her hotel, I took a wrong turn. This meant i would have to travel about 2 km's in heavy traffic to correct the mistake. So i turned into a lane that i suspected was a taxi lane only.
Sure enough there were two cops waiting to book people for doing just that.
The cop i spoke actually spoke very good english so the whole consversation was in english.
Cop: Do you know you have driven up a taxi and bus lane?
Me: I thought the sign said after 6.30pm this was a normal lane. ( i saw a yellow sign but did not read it )
Cop: This is a taxi lane only. no sign says you can drive here. why did you do it?
Me: Because i thought the sign said i could do it.
Cop: NO! There is no such sign. Show me the sign.
Me: Look i am not arguing with you, I just thought the sign said that. (i was resigned at this stage to getting a fine)
Cop: OK. License please.
Me: (malaysian lisense had expired so i handed him my australian one).
Cop: (his face falls as he see the foriegn lisense..too much paper work) Australian lisence.... expired as well.. no wait i see its 2006.
.. he asks me where i work etc, trying to determine if i am a foriegner i think..
Cop: OK, I will give you a warning this time.
Me: Thank you officer.
Cop: (he leans closer and gives me a stern look) NEXT TIME DO NOT THINK!!!
Me: Thank you, I'll try not to think from now on.
(i drive off
myself)
I am hoping after i turned the corner the copper realised what i said. anyway i had a laugh.

A mate of mine got pulled by an unmarked motorway car at 115mph in his Clio Williams and he got 6 points and £450 fine, so you 2 gits have been lucky
