PULLED OVER TWICE IN 4 MILES
 

Hi fello scoobyers

I was leaving Harrogate the other evening, well early hours, Having passed a parked STI, I soon noticed it following me..! After several miles it put ite blue flashing lights on, How annoying i thought, It was foggy, im totally legal, driving according to speed limits etc..
I pulled over, turned off and stepped out.
2 officers approached me, and explained why they had stopped me.
Car theft...!

They checked my details etc... back on my way, whilst driving off i thought about the event...

3 miles later but in different county, i noticed yet another scooby pull out after me, i pulled in straight away, said hi, and back on my way

My inital thoughts with the 1st event when i noticed was, im being victimised here,
after talking to the officers when they pulled me, i instantly had a change of thought...
The 2nd event, did not alter my new thoughts at all either...!

overall, two pleasant experiences with four decent fellas doing a cracking job...!:luxhello: :thumb:

Pulled by 2 unmarked scoobies? spooky!

Four DECENT traffic cops? Spooky :D

Alcazar

Harrogate still posh then:D

You'd expect to get pulled if you HAD sped past them, and Id rather be pulled twice in a routine check, than risk some scrote waving at them whilst he drove by in my stolen Scooby.

Small price to pay. IMHO

If its our car and we have insurance and Tax, nothing to fear.

Unless you have 20kg of Jamacan Woodbines or a dead body in the boot. Then it could be a problem.

PMSL:D:D:D

A place is as nice as the people who live in it...:norty:

North & West Yorkshire coppers then?

Yes mr......! Whatever people think of the traffic police...the point to this posting, was to highlight, that in these events, they were people doing a job that ok hindered my journey, but was for a good cause...!

Indeed:thumb:

Im stopped nearly every sat morning on the way home from work (airport) as many cars are nicked from here, the police are always sus of scoobies leaving in the early hrs, but fair play to them, there's no harm done and within minutes im on my way, cos i have my airside pass along with airside driving licence so i can prove who i am and also have the keys to my car which helps :D

Il look out for you mr...did you mention which runway you use???? lol:lol1:

pmsl, :lol1: the one in the back ground :D

one hell of a rear wing fella...:notworthy

The way things are going there could be the latter of the two in mine

so you got stopped by a scrot in a scoob
who seen you driving a scoob and thought feck it ill stop him coz hes got a scoob
so the moral of the story is?????



steve

"Is it cos I is black ?" :lol1:

if i get stopped by a scoob around here i wud suspect a car jacking attempt!:nono:

well... moral?
just pointing out that i thought the worst, but soon realised this minor inconvienience, might just have saved me £££££'s and :cry:

i wud have thought the worst too, had my foot on clutch ready in gear..... wud need to see loads if i d before stepping out thats for sure, but it is good to see then doing their job, protecting us.:thumb:

STOP FOR NOBODY
my missus learnt the hard way the other week and had the tints ripped off the car(yes i know the tints shouldnt have been on the car)
would not have happened if she was a muslim????????????
steve

Who ripped the tints off Mr?

get over it mate - if the tints were illegal they were illegal and got ripped off tough ***T - several of my friends HAVE had their tints cut with a blade by officers because they were too dark.... do the crime pay the time and all that. Same as illegally styled number plates - You ARE breaking the law by having 10 screws on the number plate to make up your name then get p'd off when you get stopped by the police for having them not spaced correctly..

Raf.

I'd love to get pulled off twice in 4 miles, or did i read that incorrectly. :norty:

:lol1:

Can they actually do this ? i was told they have no right to make you take them off there and then, but have to issue you with a 14 defect notice to have them removed or face court action ??

any Polite officer on here who could clarify this for me please.

Yes mine drivers windows are tinted but only to 25% so within the law :D

Police have to issue a correction notice, 14 days to present a MOT Retest to prove car is roadworthy.

basically if you dont remove the tint when they ask they can issue a prohibition notice. this means the car goes nowhere until the tints are removed so its easier just to remove em. we all know there illegal its just a bummer when we get caught.

dazza be careful with the 25% tint as most windows are already tinted slightly so that plus your 25% may take it over the 30% threshold.

hope that helps.

one blue sti unmarked... and two silver sti,s, in the force's:eek: racing colours...!

Good stuff,

I used to get stopped lots when was younger driving about town 3am etc. but i was more than happy as they were just checking some dirty begger hadnt stolen my pride and joy.

But lucky you didnt try to give them a wee blast, could of turned out a bad race.
