Speeding Ticket
My mother sent this to me...
Top this for a speeding ticket...
Two British traffic patrol officers from North Berwick were
involved in an unusual incident while checking for speeding motorists
on the A1 Great North Road. One of the officers used a hand-held
radar device to check the speed of a vehicle approaching over the
crest of a hill, and was surprised when the speed was recorded at
over 300 mph. Their radar suddenly stopped working and the officers
were not able to reset it.
Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar
had in fact latched on to a NATO Tornado fighter jet which was
engaged in a low-flying exercise over the Border district,
approaching from the North Sea.
Back at police headquarters the chief constable fired off a stiff
complaint to the RAF Liaison office.
Back came the reply in true laconic RAF style:
'Thank you for your message, which allows us to complete the file
on this incident. You may be interested to know that the tactical
computer in the Tornado had detected the presence of, and
subsequently locked onto, your hostile radar equipment and
automatically sent a jamming signal back to it. Furthermore, an air-
to-ground missile aboard the fully-armed aircraft had also
automatically locked onto your equipment. Fortunately the pilot
flying the Tornado recognized the situation for what it was, quickly
responded to the missile systems alert status, and was able to
override the automated defense system before the missile was launched
and your hostile radar installation was destroyed.
Good Day...'
