I think I have told this story on a thread last year but I will put it here as well.
Okay, well I hope none of you guys or girls are anything to do with the police force, but....when I had just started going out with Rodney.....we went to a party in my home town...and he had a few drinks, and I didn't so I could drive home.....we set off for the half hour trip home on the Newell...the Trots had been in Parkes that night and all the trucks and floats were coming towards us and Rodney said I was driving into their lights, and insisted he should take over the driving...so we changed over....he of course drove very fast in those days, and went around some bends doing 120kms, the police were coming towards us and pinged him..while they were turning around to chase us, I said "you are over and you will loose your license for sure as you are also speeding" I said I can swap as they can't see into the back of the van, so we changed seats, how I do not know, as we were still travelling, i said "put my seat belt on and get the seat forward so I can depress the clutch, to pull over....anyway the policeman asked me why I was going so quickly around a dangerous corner?, I made up some excuse about not being used to the car, the policemen then shone the torch into Rodney's eyes and said "just as well he isn't driving:
He paid the fine, and the only thing I have to say is it saved his license, and he will always owe me one...luckly we got married.....
