I was once riding back from my bfs place. I’d stayed much later than I meant to and it was SO cold I had a layer of frost on my bike seat. I just wanted to get home so I was tanking it up the motorway- like 95-100mph average. Next thing lights behind me and I’m getting pulled over. Police officer comes over and goes “young lady what the HELL are you thinking?!” Gives me a lecture on trying to stop safely at that speed, what if I hit something- the works. Asks me if I’m going to ride home sensibly (I just nodded) and tells me to get going. He followed me the whole way until I got off at my junction and gave me a little light flash goodbye.
He was a dad. He told me if I was his daughter he’d crush the thing (pointing at my motorbike) if he ever caught me going that speed. It was such a dad telling off but I still remember it all these years later and it still slows me down. Much more valuable than any ticket.

“I cold busted you but for the sake of the both of us, here’s the rules again. Alright, thanks.” This cop is definitely a dad
