Well - I've been driving here for two months now and have seen some 'interesting' avoidance techniques as well as some cool manouvers that I didn't know a car could do!!! and in all that time, (I'm not blowing my own trumpet here) I have not had the pleasure of a one to one discussion with an officer of the Leeau (That just for those of you that have seen the Pink Panther Series!?!)
PP, on the other hand, HAS!!!
She was doing her bit for the enviro' the other day and rode her bike to the local shopping mall. No drama there...
... on her return, she became a little disoriented (as she had ridden TO the shops from SCHOOL and was now attempting to RETURN to the HOUSE) and as she was trying to find her bearings, she found herself being pulled over by a man in blue!
He asked her what the wonderful ornament was for that was hanging from her handlebars (helmet) and explained that she would be fined $50.00 for not wearing it! $50.00 !!!!!!!!!
A quick thought later, PP fluttered those eye lashes and in a strong Pommy accent, excalimed that she didn't know she had to wear her helmet on the pavement, she thought it was just for the road!! (Good thinking Batman!)
The Orificer then noticed the Pom voice and let her off with a warning - Whew!
I showed all the sympathy I could of course! and I'm STILL laughing!
Good on yer!
