Inspired by some facebook banter I wondered what your amusinng true life stories were of encounters with the boys in blue!
Heres a starter from myself...
My normal driving style is somewhat representative of my style on the track (unfortunatly) and whilst driving back from Southampton one sunny afternoon I joined the M27 for one junction on what was a quite crowded motorway, straight off the slip road into the outside lane toe to the floor
leaving the two inside lanes standing in my wake and within no time at all I was looking at my digital speedo reading well into 3 figures... shot up the slip road round the roundabout ...as im coming off the roundabout I noticed a Vauxhall Senator tagging along
Bloody hell where did that come from, so instantly slowed up and got back under the speed limit...
Within a mile I was treated to a wonderful display of christmas lights albeit only in blue and puled over into the layby.
Yep it was an undercover traffic cop, thankfully just about to go off duty. He'd been blocked in on the inside lane as I shot past on the motorway and couldnt catch me till the slip road and i'd clocked him after a few seconds of him following so I was lucky he only had a short distance to film me. Typically they stroll up to your door and ask the silly question of How fast where you going...like your going to admit you hit 120
so he invited me back to his.. (car) and showed me his lovely incar entertainment system with me being the star
My reply to the ealier question wasnt the smartest thing... No sir the sun was in my eyes
but he thought my driving was very controlled and safe just that i needed to slow it down.
He let me off!!!! That would of been my first lot of points, but I escaped to fight another day, bless that old Astra 2.0 GTE was a fun car.
So thats one from me.. I have a few more... but lets hear some of yours.
