Unmarked BMW trying to race me!?

[KennyGTI]

 

On my way home from Glasgow lastnight an unmarked 5 series was trying to wind me up by driving at 60 mph along the bypass with me behind it then flooring it to +100 mph till it reached then roundabout, I stayed at the speed limit fortunatley! It went straight on at the roundabout and I was going right, by the time we passed the junction he went off at the misses seen it down the road doing a u turn and heading back to the roundabout! Sat right up my arse along the next bypass till I had to come off a junction early! The bugger fortunatley continued down the bypass and by the time I went back on you could see him coming back the other way!! Ha ha, bet he was disappointed I didn't want to race him!

Are these guys allowed to do this, antagonize joe public into racing them so you get done for it!

That's like police on foot walking up to someone and antagonizing them until they lash out and arresting them!?

Thats not really on is it  However sounds like normal BMW driving behaviour to me    I have never raced a BMW and never will I always let them get on with it for the very reason you have given.

[PenguinGTI]

Have to agree Kenny, if it's the police then that sort of behaviour is not on. The police seem to love that new bypass.

However, I wouldn't be surprised if it was just "Bazz" cruising in his new motor. Those 5 series can be had for precious little these days and with the mapping potential of dirty dervs they seem to be popular amongst the McDonalds patrons.

Did you see any police inside the car?

Had the same thing on the way back fom lincoln... audi s3 trying to race me followed by a ST. I was early for a change so just continued along unfamilar roads a speed limit. Couple of miles down the road the S3 had pulled over the ST. Not nice when they try egg you into a race initially. 

[KennyGTI]

Never seen them, but as soon as I told my dad he rhymed off the first part of the reggy plate as soon as I told him it was a silver 5 series. Said he had seen them fill up a few times in his petrol station! Keep an eye out mate!

Pfftt...

 Ive had unmarked police cars flash me, and pip there horns trying to get me to race

 Southyorkshire police take a bow you set of useless c**ts, Catch some proper theifs.

They used to do it something awful in Manchester about 8 years ago. They had a proper 'barried' up Clio and would just drive down the main dual carriageway going into the city goading others into races, then promptly a marked car would pull over anyone stupid enough to give in.

Typical Police priorities

[mustard]

Here in Sussex, there is a website run by Sussex Police to report antisocial driving, speeding, poor parking etc. If there is something like that where you are and you have the number, why no try reporting it on there.

[Ben Lessani]

What, reporting the police, to the police - I'm not sure that would fly.

[Nutkins]

Surely that cant be legal? Entrapment or whatnot?

And what if their aggressive driving caused you to crash from being destracted by them. And worse you got hurt. There must be a case on answer. Sounds outrageous to me.
