police

Driving into London the other day, coming down the M1, round about junction 5, and the traffic slows down to 60mph. I carry on at my usual 70 because there's no indication anything's wrong, only to discover everyone's creeping past a Police Vauxhall Ashtray doing 60ish IN THE MIDDLE LANE. :doh...

BBC News - Police station red tape attacked Couldn't they just use the form instead? Then again, as this came from the Daily Express, perhaps they could use that august journal........ .

just got an email with this story - not sure if its real locking your doors at the petrol station a good idea anyway... > OH Dear What a world...... No idea how much truth there is in all this or how much we should worry but... someone sent it to me.. so passing it on.. > > > > An...

whoops: BBC News - Italian police crash Lamborghini supercar

Edited... So how do I get youtube video to show? I see the tags {YOUTUBE} etc and put the url between them but nothing shows>

Was trundling along the Exter stretch of the M5 this afternoon, when I hear a siren, notice the car behind move from the third to second lane and see the police bike coming up, light on and sirens wailing. Wasn't that much space to my left, but enough that I could put two wheels in the centre...

Well I have been trying to arrange this for a while but I am pleased to say that today South Yorkshire Traffic Police have kindly agreed to us visiting them at their Road Crime Operations HQ which is located in between Rotherham and Sheffield. This will be an evening visit and will consist of...

I pass this sign every day and thought it deserved a mention. Clearly the upper half was written by someone other than the bottom half. :D

For those of you that drive in West Yorkshire and the A1, M1, M62, M621 through the county in particular beware West Yorkshire Police have just changed their unmarked fleet. So now keep your eyes peeled for 2 x Bronze BMW X5's easy to spot strobes on grill, 2 x BMW 535d estates dirty grey in...

The local police have Clamped an old MG which is parked on the Grass verge near me, outside someones house. The Notice says "ROAD TAX OUT OF DATE." Question - As it isn't parked on the road are they right in doing this? The only reason I can see this being right is if the House Owner...

Police 'turn to car crime' - Yahoo! Cars can you imagine the motorist face when he finds out its the police!:doh::D

On the M60 this afternoon in clear weather and with very light traffic volume I was travelling in lane 2 at 75-80mph when a Police Vx Vectra with blues and two's passed me in lane 3 at (without underestimation) 120-130mph (possibly faster). Obviously on a very urgent call. I'm sure that 95%+...

Autocar - Police lock up Ferrari California This article made me wonder whether modern day car reviews have any relevance? OK, so the Ferrari is a sports car designed to go fast. But how do normal car reviews differ? Car reviews of standard hatchbacks still quote 0-60 times and top speeds...

Sorry, but there is just no excuse for this "Nottinghamshire Police said the handler has not been suspended"....I'm sorry, but he should be taken to the cleaners for this....for heavens sake, he is a "trained" handler and should know better....I am paranoid about leaving my dogs in the car...

I was watching some videos on youtube and came across this I particularly like the get out from MB saying that failure to comple with posted speed signs will invalidate the warranty!!! :eek: What do we all think??? Another Big Brother to watch over us?

Please see 'meets in Scotland' thread

Guys & Gals, watch out! About 10miles south of Birmingham on the M6 today I saw a Gunmetal Sliver Golf R32 undercover Policecar, complete with total tint blacked out windows pull over a van. The car looked almost 'Barry' with its full blacked out windows, would never have expected it to be...

I've seen a E320 CDI Avantgarde on an 03 plate for sale. Its a 1 owner - owned by the police. Its done £103k miles and on for £6500. The seller states that it has warranted mileage but not full service history. Is it a good thing to buy a police-owned car? Also it has cloth seats? Am I...

As above really. I'm not out for a slagging match, i'm just wondering if the members of her majesty's finest on this forum could offer some explanation. I spend about 2 hours each working day on the M4, and I regulary see traffic cars doing well over the limit, about 80-90 mph i'd say, with no...
