Title: Talking of the Police
Post by: Darth Loo-knee on 03 May 2010, 20:29:40
After ask my Dad when I see him :-*

But why is it when your on the motorway, you see a line of cars not daring to overtake a Copper? They were all doing about 65mph.... so I went whizzing past at about 80 and they never did a thing ;D ;D or so I hope ::)
The Coppers must laugh their heads off ;D

Do you ever get a feeling of guilt when a police car pulls up beside you at the traffic lights?

I do, and I know I haven't done anything wrong. :(

Few weeks ago, I was driving through the M4 roadworks in South Wales, Westbound, past the coldra - just where it goes back to 3 lanes.

Marked police car in front, was travelling at about 48mph in the 50 zone.

My cruise was set to 50 and I was slowly gaining on them - so pulled out to lane 2, and overtook, then pulled back in. No other cars on the road - it was about 2am.

Cue the blue lights, and me being pulled over, and asked if I could see the 50 signs.

Though I agree - any other time I've overtaken a Jam Sandwich on the motorway, I haven't been bothered...

I love the one liners the Coppers give too... cheeky buggars  ;D

I was learning on my ode CB100N Bike Copper pulls along side, points to the side of the road.

Pulls over the first and only thing I remember him saying was "Lost you wings Squardron Leader?"  ;D ;D ;D ;D
I laugh about that now  ;D

same thing with 'fake' police, AKA Traffic Officers, everyone stamps on brakes for them.

Also done same, fly past coppers with cruise at 80, what i remember is although dash says 80, thats only 75 in reality, so plod won't do anything

A couple of years back, i got pulled by a couple of BMW riding coppers. Turns out, all they wanted to know was if there was an owners club locally for my model of bike because I had a "RF owners club" badge on the back mudguard of my bike. I gave them the website, and they zoomed off with a cheery wave.

Most of them are bikers FIRST, coppers SECOND.
