Default Another interesting fact

Just found out you do not have to pull over immediately if an unmarked police car is flashing you to do so and only if they are wearing a uniform. You are permitted to drive to the nearest public place eg. a service station.

You don't have to pull over immediately with a marked car either, you should pull over only when it is safe to do so.

You try it!! I got a right bollocking for pulling into a safe spot rather than stopping in the slip road IN to Tescos as they suggested.

Try coming to halt in the 3rd lane of the M1 and see what they say!

This bit needs updating:
"Keep the doors locked until you are happy it is the police. Have your mobile at hand just in case. "

Errr..... yeah. Just added points and a fine. Thanks.

An unmarked car tried to pull me over years ago, four guys in the car and one simply flashed a warrant card at me through the window. I thought I was going to get bashed, so led quite a lengthy car chase.

Really pi$$ed them off as he couldn't catch me until traffic stopped my fun


They called traffic police to the scene to breathalyse etc, who also informed me there was no requirement for me to stop for them, also found it quite amusing they couldn't catch me
