The Volvo takes off and I pass the other cars and keep a safe distance behind Mr Plod, but we were doing 100/110mph.

Get to the lights at the M40 they turn red. Mr P gets out walks up to me ans says, " Just because I travel down the A46 at 100mph doesn't give you the right to do so". He then walked back to the car and went, dodin't check my plate nothing. Just a jobsworth that has a badge and gives him the right to do as he pleases.

Theres good and bad in all walks of life. But the plod members here never ever say that there is a bad one amongst them. All a very cosy little club.

Interersting. I was under the impression that the police were governed by the same speed restrictions as the public unless on a job? Thankfully coppers with a seriously bad attitude are in a minority, their jobs must be very frustrating when they see serious criminals walking free day after day on "technicalities".
