close call
just had a near miss for 3 points, was driving home and was behind a ford fiesta the 2 people inside were more interested in talking and drove between 25-30mph, as soon as i got a safe stretch of road i put my indicator on and went to overtake as i did this i glanced into the cars cabin as i always do and seen 2 uniformed officers i imediately slowed and pulled in front of the car. as the officers flashed me to stop i got out and approached them and complained that they were driving along at 25mhp and thats why i overtook they told me to be carefull in future as you never know who you are overtaking and sent me on my way. they were even laughing so i knew this was a slow down speech
thank god that i just went to over take normally ortherwise i think points would of been involved
after seeing that many unmarked cars on the roads im pleased i have the sense to check a car before i floor it or better still dont floor it

how did they flash you? with the blue lights? or head lights? maybe they was off duty sharing a car home thus not being able to actually do you for anything ???? just a thought?
didnt think a fiesta would be a classic under cover car for the police?

yup its not illegal to overtake a police car and ive done it before, but they dont like you overtaking them when they are driving at the speed limit
and they flashed me to pull over with thier headlights but cant see what difference that makes if they are on duty

if the fiesta was an undercover car surely it'd have blue lights behind the grill etc

thats what Im saying, how do u know they was on duty? how do u know they aint finished a shift and they was on their way home
its just nice when you spot something slow down accordingly and then know nothing can be done apart from telling you to slow down even though i was only doing 35mph which he couldn't prove anyway as i was side by side when i was doing that and its normal practice to speed up while overtaking
