nearly shi!tted my pants this morning
« on: 07 May 2009, 09:56:44 »

Driving down the A43 this morning, cruise set at just above 80, on my way to the station, i was in work autopilot mode.

Up ahead on the bridge i saw a cop car with its window open and a camera sticking out, i knew i slowed too late as he would have had me way up the road.

Cancelled cruise, slowed to 65, went under the bridge, there is then a slip road on the left, just as i came to it, i saw 2 unmarked police veccyC 3.2's come flying onto the dual carridgeway lights flashing  :o

I pulled into the inside lane, and saw them come flying up behind me...

I knew the cruise was set to 80, so i was prob doing around 75 in reality, and i was thinking 2 cop cars for this?

Anyway to my relief they went flying past me, followed by a 3rd marked veccy estate, and then a 4th Ford Galaxy!  :o

There was a car abounded i passed earlier surrounded by cop cars, so maybe the occupants got a ride and they were chasing that  :-/

Needles to say i was more awake than usual on the rest of the drive  ;D

Yeah it did have a similar feel to that from roadwars, although they usually use an ANPR van, not a Panda car with its window open, unless they are getting sneakier.

Was great to watch them fly past though, its something i would love to do, drive fast cars, fast after scum, and nick em.

Trouble is i don't think i could deal with the paper work and bad smashes were you shovel people up off the road.

i`ve been there too... Got stuck behind a slow female driver, she wouldn`t react to my indicator..
and was doing around 62 on a motorway in outside lane!! so i undertook her.. :-X
1min later =>a mercedes estate with blue lights in grille on my tail...  :o
Now that scared me enough not to undertake again  ::)
i should add- he wasn`t after me  :)

I think I would have great difficulty keeping a straight face if I had to nick someone after chasing them at three figure speeds for a few miles. Of course I would let them have a good head start so I had plenty of catching up to do.  ;D

No idea what they do to them, but the Galaxys that Northants fly up and down the M1 in are pretty rapid...  ...I know, I tried keeping up with one a couple of years back ::)
