M6 Junction 9(ish) - Police Incident
I was driving northbound on the M6 about 7 o'clock tonight and saw 3 police cars pull a transit van over after a short pursuit using a perfect 'boxing in' manovere (sp?). Just wondering if anyone else saw it or knew what it was all about?
I was doing 80 - 90 in the fast lane when I saw a marked volvo in front (middle lane), I slowed to 75ish and then an identical volvo came up my inside doing at least 90, he nudged his way into the fast lane and I shat myself. Both cars were pushing hard and moved side by side in the inside and middle lane, I was waiting for lights but they were trying to move forward side by side and were getting very close to other cars to make their progress. At this point I was thinking something was up and thought they should have blue lights on driving the way they were. Then out of no where blue lights came on one went behind a tranny that was in the outside lane, the other volvo went in front, then an unmarked v reg silver 5 series came charging in totally un seen to me and boxed him in from the side. All this at 80mph and I was lucky enough to be 40 -50 yards away.
Very impressed with the police driving.
