Lucky Boy
"Pressin' On" after being held up for nearly an hour in an accident and on a reasonably sparse M'way in good vis. Noticed a silver Skoda creeping up behind me but not too close (must have been going some!). Noticed the passenger's elbow as the hand held onto the grab. Noticed a nacelle like thing next to the rear-view mirror inside the cabin. Decided that 85 was a "good speed" to keep at for the next 3 miles and the Skoda backed off.
Came past me 10 miles further on doing 3 figures plus with grill lights flashing in persuit of a biker who had been weaving in and out the traffic at speed...

Probably decided you wernt a problem, steady (if illegal) speed, no erratic driving the officer made a judgement call that it probably wasnt in the public interest to create a dangerous situation by stopping you on the hard shoulder, however he/she considered that a badly ridden bike was a problem.
Thats the way it should happen, not pointless revenue generation from people doing sensible speeds, we all see examples of apalling driving and they never seem to get caught yet my 65 year old aunt has 3 points for doing 55 in a 50 (North Wales).

A while ago I was driving up over Saddleworth on the M62 in the autumn about 9pm. It was dark, fairly empty so I was in lane 2 of 4.
I was doing just over 90, car overtakes, as he gets level I see it's a fully marked up Senator with two uniformeds in .... they don't even look across, they just pull away doing an estimated ton.
I went through a range of emotions quite quickly

I came back from a job interview in Bristol once, was sitting in the fast lane of the M4 minding my own business, roof down stereo on, suit on doing 95mph. looked in the rear view mirror to see a fully marked up police car taking up 95% of the mirror, I pulled over into the middle lane expecting the worst and he shot passed never to be seen again.

I once did a powerslide (not on purpose) past a fully stickered up police car sitting at the lights, noticed and thought, ****!
Sped up, he gave chase, i hid, didnt see him again

I was late for a business appoint once and was about to put the boot in on the M4 when I glanced in my rear view mirror just before I pulled out, saw into the car behind and thought "that's a funny place for a hands free mobile phone" as I saw someone speaking into their left shoulder. Then I twigged..... 
They over took me and pulled in the car in front!

8) BubbaShrimp and Jtaylor for having the stupidty to accuse each other of being me and then doing an utterly appauling job of making it stick
9) Charlie Bint for buzzing around Dangerous Dunce like a ditzy (if not rather dumpy) 13 year old girl
10) You. Yes you who's reading this now. If you have the guts to ask me why I might tell you.
