Last year I was on my 749 coming out of Stratford upon Avon, on the old road. Five cars in front of me and a sole occupied Police Volvo estate at the front. We arrived at the roundabout where the road turns to dual carriageway and leads down to the M40/A46.
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.
