Coming back from a mission to purchase a new wing mirror for poor old Honda Fit (which will the subject of an upcoming story), I was riding next to another biker who suddenly lurched and took the next right turning. I quickly realised why when I got pulled over by a posse of miltary (Prefectura) and local police in a now familiar pain in the ass checkpoint.
In my Arg riding career, I would estimate that I've been pulled over at these random checkpoints more than 50 times already and frankly I'd rather do something else, like gouge my eyes out.
On this occasion there were five Prefecturas ffs! and three local cops, all heavily armed and I had to produce the following.
Insurance card
Bike cedula
DNI
License
VYV
Shoe size
IQ
I know they've got a job a to do, but really? 8 cops standing around, checking docs?
By the way, not once during my many travels in UK, Europe and USA have I ever been stopped in a random checkpoint. Yes, I know I'm in Arg and things are different...
