HI, IT WAS ME KIP...WAZZA2770
Nice car kip, your exhaust was big enough to park my patrol car in. Seriously nice car you got there. You spent how much on it?
Now that was a realy dodgy number plate, how you drove off without a ticket lord only knows. i must have been in a very good mood, or was it coz you had totally the right attitude. Number plate offences are not the end of the world, but it might be if you get caught a second time. Tee Hee See us Feds from 5ive-0.com are good old boys after all eh.

Dont know what happend to your mate Kip, he never came by whilst we were loitering, but then again we did blast off and leave you plodding along at 70 didn't we....... We had a real dodgy geezer in an escort cabriolet to sort out.

Take care out there and keep watching that rear view mirror.

We are human(ish) sometimes. You know what NIGHTS gives you a buzz, you never know who you are going to stop. It could be an alright geezer like Kip, where you can have a laugh but still be serious and walk away friends or you could end up with a gun in your face or an escaped lunatic who wants to eat your face off....Now which one of those was Kip?

Only half an hour after stopping Kip we had a High speed follow of a couple of bikers who wanted to play. Speeds got very naughty we chose one of them to follow when they split and the roads got very bendy from Denham towards Slough. we pulled off and soon discovered he had did the same but out of our sight. we doubled back. corr blimey, there he is coming out of the woods....oooh errrr he has now got 11 mates with him. We were somewhat over crowded. No probs, breath in chest out and wazza said " Give me your keys" ???? They all handed them over like scolded children, one or two started to question me, til i started pointing out we are video equiped and Hmmmm illegal plates illegal cans and.....! I put the keys in a heap in the long grass, told them they were all disqualified for 10 minutes. We talked Bikes we talked riding skills and accidents we became friends(Sort of) It turns out the Met had had words earlier and said go play in the County Mounty patch not in town. I told em they play here, they get tickets...we have got them all captured got all numbers and if I ever find out one of them comes to grief i would tell the HM Coroner this story for his family. They had all been out Blatting and racing on our nice fast county duel roads...we get to many deaths out here so they all appreciated the words of wisdom.

Keys in a heap, tails between their legs and Hey those TVP taffic Guys are great, nice blokes. But it could have got all bad, if It was not for COMMUNICATION and talk and common sense. Cops do have hearts and homes to go to and some even drive scoobs too.

Anyway enough of that.

How do you guys feel and react when you are stopped? by us feds then? Do you wait to see how we treat you or do you try and dominate the situation first?

Wazza says; Why not, its all public domain, If I have a story to tell then I will tell it. But with possible restrictions.

You might learn from some stories!

Preza Si; Well you take the bull by the horns and if you go when he should have had priority even if he let you out, you must take great care if you and he meet in the middle you have got to wonder why he did it, Probably 50 50, but if you can prove he took you out on purpose then different matter. But if you are required to give way by signs or road markings then you MUST Yield, sounds like a court battle to me.

OOps thats life, dont trust anyone when they let you out, women drivers are no different to men so cant say anything about it being a lady driver. They can make their mark just as good as any guy. Lesson learned then eh, dont pull out unless you have a heavy foot ready on the break pedal.

Ive always had good luck with the rozzers. Only been pulled a couple of times and never had any points. The best one I had was a 20 minute fast paced sprint against an Octavia RS. It got a little less funny when he put the blue lights on He commented on my 4 wheel drifts and excessive speed... Luckily it was a new car and didn't have any timing gear fitted.

Another time a mate was driving and a chap in a Daewoo behind started getting irate because we were going a little over the limit. He started coming alongside us and trying to force us to pull over, while holding some sort of badge up to the window. Naturally we thought he was nuts, so I called the poloce on the mobile. He eventally got us in traffic and got out. Turns out he was an off duty rozzer and wanted to lecture us on driving safety I pointed out that high speed driving, one handed while off duty wasn't a good example to set, and asked for his badge number. He went nuts! Eventually realised he was being a ***** and drove off.

I'm always honest and polite straight off, and just admit you were speeding. I wait and see how they treat you. They seem to prefer this to wasting their time with bull ****. I think if you're doing it in the sort of place when its *reasonably safe*, and can explain yourself then they go a bit easier on you. Most are quite interesed in the car itself too

I wouldn't like to come across one of the condesending shcool teacher types, dont think I could bite my tongue.

NO, My good lady passed her Advanced driving course and I have come accross many many great lady drivers and some real T******s of men drivers. I reserve comment to individual drivers not collective.

Problems come Wazza when young coppers come in and make or dont make the right decisions for Example...

I get pulled over after just pulling out of a garage, after refueling.

I ask why - 2 17yr old coppers(looked it) advise that a few cars in my make/colour had been stolen in the area and they were checking my details on radio to somewhere. I dont have an issue with this as had no rush to go anywhere.

While in the back I hear they get a call of a burglary in progress with an old lady making the call, they dont radio an answer - *** was less than a mile away***

Now they left the call for 3 or 4mins - they get called again asking them again to confirm that they can go on the call. They then accepted the call and I am told to get out and that it was my lucky day????????????

I have no issue with checking details , but for sure i wouldnt want that to have been my gran that was being burgled??? See my point??? Both young coppers - both didnt really seen bothered???

What would an old timer do in that situation?? Check details?? Or go to aid of an in progress event??? I know what i'd choose...this is what gives people the wrong impressions.
