Friday morning, 06:10 M6 southbound......

Minding my own business as usual, middle lane, cruise control at 70mph, i'm in no rush to get to work..... you get the picture.

Along comes a Range Rover in the outside lane and hurtles past me, only to be slowed down by traffic about 1/4 mile ahead of me.

I can see he's inches away from the car in front and flashing his lights trying to get past (now i hate this as there was no ware for the car in front to go as it was heavy traffic)

This continues for about a mile by which point i'm along side.

as i reach the Range Rover, the car in front of it erupts into flashing blue lights with a sign on the back that says POLICE FOLLOW ME!

Now i almost crashed into the truck on my inside as i was crying with laughter.... made my day

just thought i'd share

Similar thing happend to me a few years back, I was heading down the Coast Rd towards Sunderland, which had a 40 limit. Behind me was an Escort with 2 young lads and 3 lasses in. The road bends and is broken up by hatched markings. I was doing pretty much 40, he was tailgating and every few meters he was pulling out and just about attempting to overtake then pulling back in.
He obviously hadnt noticed the traffic cop about 5 cars behind him, finally he went for the overtake, the cop came flying out, got past us and stoped him a about 200m down the road. He face was priceless.
It was a fairly pointless overtake anyway, the road goes to a 30 limit in a built up area less than 300m later.

My mate once raced an unmarked cop car and got away with it! He was stopped but the cop said something about he was inciting him to do it.

Saw a car get overtaken by a 7 series grey (silver??) BMW and the sign came on behind it, not sure what he was getting pulled for. Happened on the A406 this morning not far from Barking.

I doubt very much the police drive 7 series justintime.

If they did for certain roles then they certainly wouldnt waste it on trivial matters like pulling people over.

ca9phoenix - If you were able to record this, you would have been the internets most popular personality.

Or at least You Tube most popular personality

It really would be fantastic to have some of those blue lights, it really would.

I've seen undercover Evo and STi cop cars pull over dangerous drivers.
