I've just had an encounter with the worlds most power-mad/job loving policeman.
My girlfriend and I were on our way back from watching Sweeny Todd at the Odeon in Derby. We took the twisty road back for a bit of fun as I've just got my 207 Sport. I was keeping to the speed limit, and I know most of you won't believe me but I swear on my genitals that I was, although I admit I may have been too close to the Escort in from as when he decided to slam on his brakes and turn without signalling I got a bit close (though still stopped with plenty of room)
After the Escort incident we continued our journey home, sticking to or just below the 60mph speed limit. I may have been cornering quickly but it's a 207 Sport with brand new decent tyres, not a bus with wheels made of cheese.
About halfway back I saw a 5 Series fly up behind me with his headlights flashing. I figured it couldnt be a police car as he'd have his blues on so I kept going. It was only when he got right behind me, still flashing away, that I decided to pull over.
He wound down his window and informed me that he was an off duty police officer and that he'd had to do "some real speed" to catch me up and that I needed to be more careful.
1) I wasn't speeding. I know I wasn't speeding. My girlfriend knows I wasn't speeding. Even my cat probably knows I wasn't speeding. I may have been going quickly around the bends but I wasn't driving dangerously, I had plenty of visibility and the conditions were good.
2) If he was off duty and he reckons I was speeding then how did he catch me up? On-duty police officers can speed without breaking the law but not off duty ones.
3) Sitting right up my **** flashing your headlights when you already think I'm speeding and driving dangerously is a good idea is it? Because it's not likely to put me off in the slightest.
