2312.0. ""Say cheese"" by FILTON::PACK_J (Cloud Base is heaven) Fri Sep 16 1994 15:00

    
    I'd like to introduces you to a new road game.
    
    It's been a long day, your nearly home, (on roads you know well
    atleast), your moving alone fairly smartish and some so&so comes up
    behind and starts hassling you. And he gets to to you. Its time to play
    
    "Say cheese"
    
    You think ahead and realise there is a speed camera a few miles down
    the road. You entrap the guy who is hassling you by slowing up on the
    entry to the bends and speeding up on the exit to ensure that when he
    could over take there is either to much of a gap or your both still
    acclerating. In fact if you can wind him up a bit at this point it
    helps.
    
    Then comes the entry to the straight or dual carriage way thats got the
    camera, move/slow down so he can over take (at last) and as he starts
    to come though speed up, your neck and neck now and hes going to get
    past you, speed up some more, the cameras getting closer, faster faster
    and then at the last moment, you brake and he shots past you and the
    speed camera! Flash, click, werr, Ohh dear!
    
    As told to me by a nameless friend, who claims it works event better if
    there is a set of lights short of the camera, so you can have a classic
    burn up from the lights.
    
    
    Enjoy or beware as the case may be.
