Thanks for the heads-up Paul.

What sort of bikes are they using?

Are they just plain versions of the normal police bikes with boxes on the back or are they using racing style bikes?

i quick left/right hand twitch on the wheel should dispense of them quick enough....

its the evo's, scoobies and helicopters you need to be scared of

That will be the diplomatic protection group or someone very special like that, they won't pull you they are much too important for that.

My missus says that there have been speed cameras between on the A13 between Lakeside and Barking all week.

Sounds like its not worth taking a risk round here unless you have your wits about you.
