nice to see them doing their job
Range Rover Blues:
Getting picked up by the fuzz is nothing new, when I was younger I drove a mkII Escort and if I was meeting mates in town I'd have to allow 10 minutes for the obligatpory "chat" at the side of the road. It got to the point where if I saw a copper I just pulled over.
One night I managed to get 2 tickets to produce in the space of 1/4 I kid you not. I got stopped just before a roundabout and they went right thtough my car, made me open my luggage and everything I was there more than half an hour. I had just exited that roundabout when I got pulled up again by another copper.

sounds like my youth - stopped and searched all the bleeding time, once got flagged down by a beat copper because (exact words) "You looked like you were about to go fast" :dance: even he had a smile on his face after he said it. I was always polite and let them carry on, giving grief only make things worse. Only once had abusive officer in my face after being pulled because he said I was being a "[ed: naughty]", what actually happened I took a junction and the old viva I was driving felt 'wrong' so I moved steering wheel side to side to see if I had a flat and he must of see that as me messing around - I was 4 up in car so he thought he'd sound off in my face and spit at me in front of friends.

:lol:
Got stopped once on my way to Uni
"is this your car sir"
"no, it's my dad's"
"OH! and does he know you've got it!"
"he should do, he was follwoing me in the car you cut up to pull in behind me"
He left after that.
My observbation is that a lot of officers these days do not demonstrate the standard of driving they expect in others. I know a lad who is a copper and I know how hard he had to train to get into a panda so what happens to them? some round here don't even observe red lights.
kizz81:
i think the police around here track my movements :lol:
been stopped a few times but the ones i appriciate the most are the constant check ups at my rented workshop
because i quite often work into the night and when i hear a motor i check and its often a police car checking my landy :lol:
must have a file thicker than a real criminal by now but i don't mind as if it is stolen i know i would only have minimum space of time to find it,
thumbs up to them :police:
Llanigraham:
I got stopped coming to work this morning.
Conversation went:
"Good morning Mr Davis. See you've changed your car? Have a quiet journey"
One of the joys of living in a small town, and being known to most of the local bobbies through 4x4 Response!
