Police van vs dealer loan car

[Superspec]

Hmmm, I give police dog handlers a very wide berth these days, after one of Gloucestershire's finest did this to my C43 in February. I recently found out that the officer involved has been ordered to attend a 'driver improvement course' before being allowed to drive police vehicles again - The CPS decided not to pursue a prosecution.

Blue lights, badges and uniform do not mean a competent and observant driver in some cases! In the OPs case, the fact that the officer decided to stop and admit the mistake is to her credit though. In my case the officer also held his hands up and admitted responsibility - eventually.

Obviously your fault though, you're facing the wrong way

Yeah, obviously my fault - attempting a U-turn across a dual carriageway with traffic bearing down on you and a petrol tanker up your derriere, is an established manouvere in the police dog handler's expert driving manual - I should have anticipated he'd do that.
