>> How far had you gone off route to get petrol?
>>
The nearest petrol station was an Esso but it was just opening so I couldn't be bothered to wait.
The next nearest was a Sainsbury's, but I went about a mile and a half from the hospital to a Tesco, because they have pay at pump and more importantly - a McDonalds on the estate and I fancied a breakfast.
>> Had you possibly passed the (maybe parked) police car more than once?
No idea, but I had gone down the dual carriageway in one direction then back about 10 minutes later after I had dropped Miss Z off. It's on the dual carriageway that they pulled me over, just a quarter mile or so from the Tesco.

>> Were you able to show the police any evidence that you'd bought or needed petrol?
>>
Yes, but the point they made was that I should not have travelled to buy petrol, even though I wasn't just buying petrol.
>>
>> they were all surprised you got done.

So was I. I thought I was going to be done for speeding!
