I had one of these one night. I was 1.30am, joined the A3 just before Hook going towards London.
The A3 is a 50 zone, buy hey, it was late, i'd been working since 9am - i'm awake, and I just want to get home.
So purposefully, I kept an eye for a Police - I was awake.
As I pulled off at New Malden I finally woke up to the fact there was a car behind with a t*t on top. oops. He pulls me over, asks me if i've been drinking, asks me the speed limit (I'd done 74 all the way), and then tells me that they've followed me the whole way. doh.
He simply let me go with the warning, be careful sir, its a bit slippy out tonight.
Phew.
The next Policeman who pulled me over 18 months ago wasnt so lucky. I called him inhuman, short sighted, and a time waster. To his face of course.
When he threatened me with a breathalyser and search the car for drugs - i point blank confronted him and said the classic words:
"knock yourself out buddy - you wont find a thing"
Anyway, after 20 minutes I let him go with a reprimand. No speeding ticket, no showme, nothing.
I shook for days though.
