Joining The Ranks
This is good….very good….
You may have read my comments on The Portuguese Terrorists….. well it seems as though I have entered into the ranks of this rear breed.
There I was, taking a quiet stroll down to the Algarve on a very rain Monday morning, taking more than my usual care as a result of the climatic conditions. Having negotiated 205km of the 250km journey, I saw a police car on the inside lane, traveling no more than 90km per hour.
I continued doing my 120ish…..with others both to the inside and other calmly passing me on the outside. Passing some roadwork’s on the inside lane and soon after, I was pulled over by the police.
What on earth could I possibly have done wrong…..there was hardly anyone on the road so I guess it was serious…..drug smugglers no less…..anyway, you guessed it…..I travelled for 5km in the middle lane of a 3 land motorway…..and this deserves a 60 Euros fine.
When I asked the police about the people that were over speeding to my right, he said that as he was not fitted with the necessary speed equipment, it was not possible for them to do anything about it…..
This is what they call in Portugal…..“A Logica da Batata”…..The Logic of the Potato……
