Speeding..

[Poacher72]

Waiting in a lay-by ready to catch speeding drivers, a police officer
Sees a car puttering along the A22 at well under the 30 mile per hour
Limit.

Says he to himself: "This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!"
So he turns on his siren and flashing lights and pulls the driver
Over.

Approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies, two in
The front and three in the back...wide eyed and white as ghosts.

The driver, obviously confused, says to him "Officer, I don't
Understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the
Problem?"

"Madam," the policeman replies, "you weren't speeding, but you should
Know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to
Other drivers."

"Slower than the speed limit? No sir, I was doing the speed limit
Exactly, twenty-two miles an hour!" ......the old woman says, a bit
Proudly.

The policeman, trying to contain a chuckle, explains to her that A22
Is the road number, not the speed limit.

A bit embarrassed, the woman grins and thanks the policeman for
Pointing out her error.

"But before I let you go, madam, I have to ask, is everyone in this
Car OK? These women seem awfully shaken, and they haven't made a sound
This whole time," the officer asks.

"Oh, they'll be all right in a minute, officer. We've just come off
The A120 !!

Nice one. Drivers who deliberately and for no good reason pootle along at well below the speed limit are a menace, and should be pulled over.
