Simple scenario. Driving along a single carriageway, national speed limit. Come round a bend to a crappy 4x4 doing 40mph. Pull out and over take. Coming the other way is a copper, just as I pull out to overtake he is coming over the crest of a hill. As I pull in he passes me approximately 3sec later, so it was a very easy overtake and tbh didnt even require me to change down a cog or use full throttle.
My spidey senses got me to look in the rear view and sure enough I see him slam on his brakes, followed by some reverse lights, promptly followed by some blues. Now I only live a very short blast down a country road from here so I was very tempted to see him off
only 6 cars ahead of me prevented this. So he inevitably catches up, and pulls me. The he gets out of his car and shouts "GET OUT OF THE CAR YOUNG MAN". Just to make this a little simpler to explain, everything he says from this point onward is SHOUTED at me. Every question he asks, he doesnt wait for an answer but decideds the next question is more important than my answer!
It was the first question that really got me.. "Tell me why you should still have a driving licence?" answer: "Because I have been driving for 10yrs never been pulled and I havent done anything wrong!". This just seemed to wind him up more... on went the questions. he actually cautiond me as I stepped into the car, which I am guessing is a scare tactic... but im nobody's fool and knew he could never do me for anything but rather than waste more of my time and of course every other tax payers I decided the best thing was to keep quite and let him carry on talking his sh1t about how I should over take people.. Anyway to wind this up he told he was going to let me go (what a f%*king suprise). So after another patrol car had been out and checked my car over.. (itsa 57 plate btw what could possibly be wrong with it???) He then told me next time I wont be so lucky and told me I could go! The Tw4T!!
The whole episode took approx 30mins if you include the time it took to do the checks... and probably cost the tax payer a fair whack if you take into account that it took three of the t1ts that long to work it out!
And then people wonder why others say coppers are kn0b5.. this is a prime example of the kind of crap they do up my way! I hate to think what would have happened if i had spoken to him in the same tone he had spoken to me. Taking into account that I never even went over the 60mph speed limit probably would have spent the night in a pig sty.
I think next time I will use my instincts and just push the fast pedal to the metal
*rant over*
