My old friend who is likes his beer was returning from a gig in Leicester in his BMW 525d when he got pulled over for undertaking by a police patrol car. He'd been drinking lightly all afternoon and immediately tries to divert the conversation by referring to the police patrol car - also a white...

After reading the article about French police I think we should employ them here. Two days ago some scrote decided that they wanted to nick my boot badge (they badly broken it) and stole that of an A6. Replaced it this morning, came home at 14:00 and left to pick up the missus at 17:00 broad...

Saw an ambulance (Mondeo estate) pulling over a Corsa last night in Maidstone:eek: Was wondering has anyone else seen this?, the ambulance came up behind the corsa in the outside lane put his lights on the corsa went to move over to let cop past, but mondeo stayed behind corsa until it moved...

Well.......caught fire :D Someone was clearly unhappy about that speeding ticket :crazy: . This was one of our Scoobys until someone decided to torch it last night.

While the diligent police busy themselves hunting for people with no mot or expired tax discs.... "Police priority for fraud investigation is low - in fact it isn't on their list of priorities," said Mr Kirk." "If you were an ordinary member of public taking your complaint about a fraud...

I thought I’d post some ramblings on here about my shift with traffic police yesterday (1300-2300 shift). I’ll try and keep it informative but not too specific for obvious reasons. Arrived at 1300, had a brief hello with the people I didn’t already know, and we had a quick look at cars...

Apologies if this has been posted or mentioned before, but I haven't seen it. Clearly this isn't a recent event and I assume before the prolific use of helicopters for such movement of human organs, such a task was genuinely amazing (known, it seems, as "The Liver Run") It's edge of the seat...

I was driving from Newcastle to Leeds in the Audi A4. Think it was the A658 (Not sure). Anyway, i was going through country lanes on Sunday night. Lashings of rain and a lot of mist all over the place. I was doing around 60mph, and then i saw the dreaded flashing lights. I pulled over, shut...

My ML is really bumpy on the road. I am told that as it's a former police vehicle it may have had the suspension uprated to cope with heavy equipment in the back. I would like to get it back to car comfort levels. Does anyone know what the police usually do? Would it be springs or shocks or...

I never bother to post stories like this, but last Wednesday afternoon I was out driving with my Mother along the A429 in the Cottswolds doing around 50-55 (its a 60Mph road with speed camera) when all of a sudden I spot a white BMW 3 Series Estate Police car tailgating me. Of course my gut...

Copy from Brighton Argus 2 Jul 08: A car sprayed sparks behind it for four miles as a dramatic police chase ended with two officers in hospital. The desperate driver refused to give up his bid to escape from police after the tyre of his Ford Mondeo burst during a pursuit. And he was only...

I received a warning letter from the local police yesterday saying that a community partnership volunteer clocked my speed on chobham road as over 30mph and that I wouldnt be prosecuted this time! Now, I remember seeing an elderly man lurking in the bushes on the day in question. He pointed...

Some of the members here can tell us more............. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2052629/Police-punishing-middle-classes-to-hit-targets.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html

I was witness to the end of a Police Pursuit on the M25 recently. 9pm-ish, light traffic and 4 marked Volvos boxed-in a car (BMW) with a further marked Volvo holding the following traffic back whilst the cars up front exchanged bodywork and rubber. A clear TPAC (Tactical Pursuit And...

This was in the paper today. Before: And after: Note the artistic touches e.g. symmetrical rear window added, scruffy towbar, paint smudges on rear bumper and door handle, crooked GB sticker ... apparently none of which are an attempt to 'disguise' the vehicle in any way :rolleyes...

OK, here goes. If you think it's a waste of time, I'll get my coat:) Black Octavia A3 Nortbound, just coming off the Ham Barn roundabout.

I realise that this may be a contradiction in terms and therefore a daft question but is there anyway of identifying an unmarked Police car? One burst into life on the opposite side of the road from me yesterday. I think if it had been behind me I would have had a heart attack. Most of us...

Evening all, Every other week I work an early shift at work, which involves me leaving the house at 5am to go 50 miles up the road to my desk ready for my 6am start. Nearly everyday I pass a good number those 'police only' laybys on the M4 and a each day a random one gets populated with a...

My journey into work was disrupted by a Police +VOSA stop check today. They were pulling over about 30% of passing cars on the A4 in Slough this morning. Pretty slick operation, maybe 6 policemen and a dozen or so VOSA inspectors. Total delayed time only 2-3 minutes. Despite driving the...
