Question

Anyone else experienced this?

I dont mean its the police fault ofcourse its the drivers but this morning A34-> Newbury there were 2 police motorbikes parked up with coppers stood on a bridge over the top of the road. People were only noticing them at the last minute and slamming on the brakes. Now with people tailgating down the road touring car style I was quite expecting the guy behind to run into the back of me, I have to say I had to brake very hard - as did the car in front of me.

As I said, Im not having a go at the copps, but I wonder if they realise people wet there pants and slam on the anchors ??

i dissagree with your statemnt bro
why are people panicking if they see pigs ?
that means they are doing something wrong !
or they THINK they are doing something wrong !!

if people just relaxed a bit on the motorway (especially women) there wouldnt be as many crashes !

it aint the pigs fault that stupid people like to slam on when they see a cop car !!

As a collegue of Denzil Dog's, I have to tell you that he isn't a typical scouser, he hasn't tried to nick my gold alloys for at least a week now.

Why do people who are within the speed limit automatically brake when they see the police?

And why do people refuse to overtake police cars on the motorway which are only going 60mph?

Must be feeling guily about something.

...and Gatsos. People who are travelling at the same speed as the car in front still brake for Gatsos. Hello? If the car in front hasn't set it off, and you're going the same speed, then you won't set it off
