In by the law
Took my wee DR350 in for MOT yesterday, passed Mr Plod car parked at the side of the road on the A96.
Went in to buy some petrol, bike booked in for 10 am, so plenty of time. Filled up at the pump, just about to set off when up pops said bobby, wound his window down.
I still had my helmet on, so took it off and I think he was pleased to see an " elder " gentleman under the lid than a young yoof.
Anyways, after a considerable time trying to get my ear plugs out, ventured over to said bobby.
" You the owner ? "
"Yep, just heading to the mot, booked in at 10, insured the bike last Tuesday "
He poodled about with something on his screen
" That's fine mate, good luck with the mot !! "
And off he went, what a nice chap.
After mot, on way home, saw same bobby parked at the side of the road, gave him a toot of the horn and a thumbs up. He responded with a big cheesy grin and a similar thumbs up
Just goes to show, the system works, I could so easily have been a thieving scumbag.
Well done Mr Plod I say, doing a good job and courteous as well.
