The police just came to my house.

[warrior queen]

Seems the man didn't give way to someone when he pulled out of an intersection yesterday.
Hah! I will milk this for everything... He's always on about what a good driver he is!
Made my day

First, are you saying he left the scene?
Second, sounds like a major headache in the making.
Third, though I don't get the pleasure you're taking, have fun with it!

 

[warrior queen]

He pulled out of a T-junction, without leaving enough room to give way to oncoming traffic.
He received a caution from the (gorgeous!) policeman who came here.
No accident - just didn't give way adequately.

But this is the same man who refuses point-blank to accept that I may be a better driver than he is. I have never had a ticket, never lost a point off my licence, never lost a race when I was driving speedway.
So I am taking my enjoyment at his dressing-down, and rubbing it in BIG TIME

Cops give a courtesy call where you live? How civilized...

Last time 5-oh came to my house, it was to give me some bad news.

Here, if you ring the police to complain about someone's driving, they can choose whether or not it's serious enough to follow up.
But if you ring Crimestoppers (a police initiative for reports/complaints) they HAVE to follow up.
This lady rang Crimestoppers.
So the cops came.
But only issued a caution.

 

[clutch1]

Cops are always in my neighborhood.
Today some guy drove by and threw a gun at a catch basin and missed. I guess he panicked and took off.

 

[eyer]

I have never...lost a race when I was driving speedway.

 

[warrior queen]

Why would that make you roll your eyes?
Never heard of a woman driving fast before?
Perhaps you've never heard of a woman actually winning motor races?
Maybe you've led a sheltered life.

morel likely he can't get his head around women being allowed to drive

How often do you leave the driveway?

Danica Patrick lives in your neighborhood?

Never known any racer - woman or man - to "have never lost a race" when they were driving at any level...

...so, nah: I'm just saying you're lying again.

Easy to prove me wrong, though, isn't it?

 

[Comshaw]

Women are only good for one thing in his world. If he had his way, no woman would be allowed to drive. Hell, he's won't even let his right hand touch the steering wheel while he's driving.

The police just came to my house. (snip)

A cop comes to my house at least twice a week....when my son picks up my grandson...

Enjoy it while it lasts WQ.

I don't have cops stopping by here very often, but I do get a lot of calls and text messages from them. When my teenage son changed vehicles last time I got a text from one of our local state troopers asking "wtf? where is the green truck?" Always nice to be on the good side of the guys (and gals) who carry guns & wear badges.....

Actually, it's not so easy. When I was driving, I used some of the money (against regulations!) to buy my very first computer - a Commodore 64.
So there's no online speedway record.
But I can tell you how I got started, and maybe you'll recognise the truth when you read it.

My then-husband was one of the mechanics for a speedway team running out of the North-West of Oz, and he broke his ankle at work.
He was scheduled to drive in the 'mechanic's' race the next weekend.
We were having a bbq, and one of the guys drunkenly suggested that they should put me in the drivers seat, coz it would be funny to see the other team's faces if a girl was driving.
They laughingly said that at the very least, most of the other drivers would be reluctant to shunt a girl in a car.
That's kinda what happened the first race... everyone gave me room because they didn't want to hit a girl.
Almost at the end of the race, one of the boys shunted another guy, resulting in about 7 cars spinning off the track. And I just drove on past and crossed the line. In first place.
That's how it began.
I was a novelty.

We don't get cops out here much - too rural.
Before yesterday, the last time a cop came here was to caution my eldest son who was on his P1's. He was reported for doing 90km/hr, overtaking another car.
Freaked the shit right out of him!
Far as I know, he has not broken the speed limit since

Liars are hardly novel...

...how many races did you win (without ever losing once)?

What year(s) does this tale of yours take place?

What track(s)?

And...

...are you sure there was no press coverage of such a "novel" feat?

Jesus, you really don't know anything about Oz, do you?!
Just about every outback town had a speedway in the mid-80's.
There was nothing professional about it... just a bunch of revheads who liked to bash about on an oiled dirt track on a Saturday night.
Semi-organised, but mainly just fun.
If you did any good, sometimes you'd travel to one of the bigger regional centres for a speedway meet.

Where I lived, there was no local paper. We got the city paper flown up every morning on the first commercial flight. Some days you had to wait till noon to get it!
Reporting local speedway?
Yeah, right

Edited to add: the nearest city was over 1800km away.

Its his special way of "flirting" with you.

 

[warrior queen]

I drove once a month for almost 7 yrs on various tracks.
I assume you can count?
I actually became quite a good driver... went to 5 regional meets over the years and ended up being our team's substitute driver.
Once I figured out that being hit didn't mean I was going to die, it became much more fun!

Eyer is like a mosquito.
Annoying, but won't actually bite me because they don't like my blood!
