A friend of my Dads was pulled in London some 30+ years ago because they drove past police who spotted his passenger had no seat belt on.
Didnt end well, they searched the car and found 2kg of heroin and a handgun in the boot.
If the passenger had had his belt on, them both going to prison could have been avoided, i think the moral here is pretty obvious.
Riding dirty? Obey every other rule lol.
One time (at band camp) my late mate drove me about 4hrs to London to pick up 1oz of s-iso ket, either 100 or 200g of racemic ket and an 8-ball of coke. Stopped on the way back twice to cook some k in this footwell, both snorting it going down the motorway(he had hiiigh tolerance like me - dont k and drive ppl). Got all the way back and got pulled LITERALLY 1 road away from his house because he had no MOT, we had no idea!
They smelt weed (yes we'd stupidly smoked on the way back but had none left - dont smoke in the car if you have other drugs ffs) and searched the car, i admitted to smoking a J and told him it was all gone, they found nothing, backup arrived, searched us both, nothing, searched his bag, nothing, searched mine, luckily id quickly hidden the shit well once we got bluelighted, he literaly pulled everything out of my bag onto the pavement, portables gas cooker, frying pan with k residue, loads of clothes(i was homeless the time) , scales, weed pipe, but didnt find the bag of goods in the secret compartment. I was contesting saying im homeless stop going thru my house/dirty laundry, ive admitted to weed, leave us alone.
Definitely one of the times my hearts beaten the fastest

9+ hour journey and we get pulled 1 road from home how lucky/unlucky is that!
We got back 2 minutes later both looking like ghosts and but fuck me didnt we laugh, talk about dodging a bullet. I'm certain if i hadnt have been contesting and playing the victim they would have searched better, i think they took pity on me by the end, heh.
The moral of this one? Check your mates numberplate online to make sure hes actually insured/MOTd etc if you're doing a run lol.
RIP to him btw, one of my best pals, he passed about a year later ODing on opiate/benzo cocktail, only 23 years old

we had some mad times but this one I'll never forget haha
