The cop came strolling slowly towards us. He was a big, meaty man with a belly and his blue trousers were skin tight around his enormous thighs. His goggles were pulled up on to the helmet, showing a smouldering red face with wide cheeks. Watch out for this man, my passenger whispered, he looks mean as the devil. Do you know what the speed limit is in this country? 70 i said, and do you mind telling me exactly what speed you were doing just now? I shrugged and didn't say anything. When he spoke next, he raised his voice so loud that i jumped. 120 miles per hour, he barked. That's 50 miles an hour
