My Charge for driving through the old gate without stopping ( all motorcycles used to at Odiham ) was a charge from the SWO who declared my brake light glowed bright red as I braked to get around the corner and through the gates ( inferring I was also speeding) I pointed out that no matter how fast or slow one was travelling, the brake light only had one intensity..

so he was left with the not stopping at the barrier ( the guard had waved me through, though he couldn't see that from his position and not wanting him to get in the poo, i said yes I had, everyone does)

Awarded a tiny £5 fine that seemed to really piss off the SWO..... who did not know, the very flight commander reading the charge had been waved through the same gap on his moped on many an occasion by myself, when I was on guard.
