having met your mrs ant, i could imagine the smoothness and penash in which that would have been cooly delivered

 

A long time ago: A 'friend' who was driving a police officer back from a police bash was pulled over. He'd been on the pop all night and had been stopped due to him wandering all over the road. An officer leaned through the window and started giving a lecture, when said friends passenger leaned across and flashed his chief constables badge and told the constable to "**** off". He did too. *true story BTW for all the doubters on here according to friend*

 

Having known Herol for quite a while, I find it highly unlikely that this is true.

 

Many years ago at around midnight, I was driving down a Devon B-road at the nat limit and spotted a the reflective stripe of a police car in a side road. Sure enough, as I passed the junction, the police car turned to follow.

I carried on at 60-ish mph, and the police car caught me up in the next village a few miles away. We passed through the village and a mile or two further on, came into my town. I needed to drop my friend off (who lived at the opposite end of town) and rather than take the direct route, decided to head down a back road - figuring the police car would either carry on along the main road, or was going to pull us over anyway.

In the middle of town, the polce car pulled us over.

Officer: "Going a bit quick back there weren't you? I had to do over 80 to catch you up!"
Me: "No, not really. 55 to 60?"
Officer: "An unusual route you've taken to get here?"
Me: "Yeah. Guess I was trying to avoid you!"
Officer: "Fair enough. I'd probably done the same!"

He gave me a producer.....

 

When plod pulled me over in my old Calibra down in Gillingham, I had gone passed them doing about 70 in a 50, they had their blues on so I stopped.

Copper came up to the window- 'If you'd carried on going the speed you were doing we probably wouldn't have caught you'

Received a producer for that one

 

I think my best moment was when pulled over for having a race with one of my sons I said to the copper, "Can I call you Steve?"

 

I heard this from a black copper, him and his colleague pulled a bloke up for doing 50 in a 40 limit, the white cop got out to talk to the bloke who disputed it so the black cop got out walked up to him and said you were doing 50 so now you have it in black and white so shut up and accept it , which he did laughing.

 

A few years back I had a STI Type R, anyway, I was doing a little over 40 in a 30 when about 400 meters from my road a copper jumped out of the bus shelter holding his radar gun (had parked his plod car down a side road out of site), **** I thought, he then flagged me down.

I didn't/don’t look my age (I look younger honest ) Copper said a few things then came out with "I suppose you think you’re a race car driver?" I turned round and said "no, a rally driver, it's a Subaru isn’t it" . (I think I may have well picked that up off here at some point too lol).

I got 3 points and a £60 fine. But I have a feeling I would have gotten those no matter what I said as he was on a mission to catch people. He was there the following day too, with someone else pulled over.

 

If you know him - ask him
