Unmarked Police trying to get me done!!!!

[summ0004]

If a police car drives dangerously and tries to force you into speeding id just take the car details and report them end of.

They are supposed to be providing a public service on our tax money so we have the right to complain whether they are police/ambulance or fire.

i had an ar$e f a copper tailing me on way home from clarks village, 2 in there having a laugh and a joke right up my ar$e, followed my every move

got to a roundabout, waitied just untill a car was coming round, i pulled out so the copper couldnt follow, i then doubled round the roundabout when he was pulling out then continued to follow him at a safe distance

it wasted 15 mins of my time but i was happy

old post i know, but just the other day i was doing the right on the speed limit in a 50mph zone going to work-(dual carriage way) a marked police car leveled right beside me (it was a bloke driving and a women in the passenger seat) they looked over pointed and started laughing, it was coming to the end of the road onto an island and i wanted to turn right so i put my indicator on and they didnt move for me just sat there next to me matching my exact speed, i had to slow down to 20-30 and get behind them..erratic driving by the police yet again...

When I was still living in Coventry, I was heading into town after a long motorway drive and it took me a couple of minutes to re-adjust my speed (y'know when 30 feels really slow?!). It was early evening and I noticed a big black Volvo behind me, but the light was poor and I couldn't see him properly.

I slowed to the limit, just on the off-chance, and he tailed me to near enough the city centre. Suddenly, up in front, I clocked two boy racers in hatchbacks having a play with each other. He pulled away to chase them down - I overtook them a few minutes later as the kid was getting escorted into the back seat of the police car.

I like to think I had a lot to do with that spotty little Saxo driver getting pulled...


It generally goes to show, though, that there's really no reward for breaking the limit on a regular basis - especially in and around towns. I reckon on a 60/70 limit, if it's empty and you're driving safely, they'll normally let you off (it's happened to me twice) but they are rightly clamping down on built-up areas. If someone I knew got run over by someone breaking the limit, I know I wouldn't be happy.

Also, I also see myself as helping to fly the flag for MR2 owners. We mostly have a reputation for not being boy racers, for not being complete xxxx on the road. If we all do this, the reputation will only improve and we would be less likely to be targeted.

Just my 2p worth.

havent read the whole thread but once i spotted an unmarked volvo on a 70 limit, it was crusing at 60....i stayed back for a while then drove in the outside lane to overtake a row off cars that were also stuck behind it when all off a sudden this other car came screaming up behind me with the headlights flashing one at a time, i just accelerated quickly past the lot then slowed down to have the two cars speed off into the distance, turned out they were escorting a vip....


could have been something along those lines for yourself

Could be?

As a police officer myself, you need to find something to do to pass those lovely Sunday afternoons
