We could have a rep system to see who had the most active Dislike button.
A "tw**t of the day" table?

Now then Bruce!
You are just being sensible, logical and reasonable, that will never do!
The police do not need to display blue lights if they need to exceed the speed limit.
Depending for what purpose the Police vehicle is being used for but it is best practice to do so.
Ultimately the use or not of blue lights and siren is the responsibility of the driver, so they may not be in use on a 'speeding' police vehicle. Some people seem to think that it is a requirement of the law, and it isn't.
The law allows them to exceed the speed limit.
Yes but they are not exempt.
That goes without saying, but the fact is that they are permitted to exceed the speed limit and members of the general public are not, the law says so, however much it irritates the boy racers. There is nothing to be gained by hypothesizing in threads of this nature. No one on here will ever know the reason for the actions of the police driver.
Let me give you one common reason for such an occurrence:- a radio message is transmitted stating that an incident has occurred in such and such a location. More than one police vehicle respond at speed. The nearest one gets to the location and radios back that further assistance is not required. The other police vehicle(s) resume patrol speed. It looks odd to outsiders, and when Q7 has been following and cops for a ticket, the situation leads some to think 'entrapment'.
A police officer once defined this situation as a "front tail".
He was quite clear in his view that it could lead to a prosecution.
I wish there were an option to dislike comments on this forum. Why only 'thank' and 'like'?
2. It seems Q7 exhibited such incredibly stupid behaviour that I look for another explanation - both vehicles could be 'police' vehicles, and they were doing some sort of exercise, and pulled in to have a face to face recap of events.
I usually find "f*ck you" works quite well .
Yes, yes, chill - of course I'm kidding .
My first 3 points ever were on the A3, overtook a police car at 70mph within speed limit then lost sight of them and sped up. They caught me a few miles later, timed between two bridges with average of 93.5mph. It was my MK1 Golf GTI back in 1995
Maybe you should work on your powers of observation?
First line of defence when deliberately breaking the law is surely observation.
... Never met such a bunch of girls bringing rights/wrongs into everything and not accepting minority opinions....
Accepting minority opinion is a sign of Dictatorship.
Allowing such opions to be voiced without actually accepting them is a sign of Democracy, It's called Debate.
You posted yours, did you not? And they are still there for all to see?
Incidentally, girls are most welcome on this forum.
