police van passes me doing..........
Double standards or what? finished work today drove home on duel carriagway doing about 75 to 80 mph when out of the blue this cop van flew past me doing at least 90.
He had dog section written across the side of the van ,had no blue light flashing and didn't seem to be chasing anyone so whats going on then if that had been me passing him at that speed i'd have been nicked!!!!!!!.
It really pi$$es me of that they think they can get away with it ,the truth of the matter is they do.

lucky he didnt pull ya doing 75-80
dont think they HAVE to have the flashers on do they? Perhaps he was late for tea or maybe just brasting for a p1$$ ... seriously .. dont think they have to have the old flashers on m8 especially if the traffic is flowing nicely like for instance on a dual carriageway.

I did follow him for about 6 miles then he cleared of up the slip,the thing is wether he was busting for one or in need of a cuppa they should lead by example don't you think.

Frankly I would expect this kind of blue rinse comment in a knitting forum. If anyone "really pi$$es you off" for doing 90 - even a copper, you'd be better off studying next years patterns. Knit one purl one...

How do you know he wasn't on a call?
Blue lights tend to give you away when you might want to sneak up to a location where surprise may get you the arrest.

Are you telling me crime doesn't happen out in the middle of nowhere? If there is nothing around where does the road go to? Nowhere?
You have absolutely no idea what he was doing or where he was going, fact.
I drove along the A21 Wednesday night at 140 MPH, guess what, I didn't have my blue lights on either.
Does that mean I wasn't on the way to a call?

I do agree with BURR in some cases in our job the element of suprise gives us the upper hand in catching these people.

Nathan L you are spot on with what you said in you're last post

Are you sure it was a police van? I've noticed at least one van in the Northampton area thats stickered up with 'Dog Section' down the side and reflectrive graphics etc but it's actually a security company. I followed it for miles the other night before I realised it didn't actually say police on it anywhere.

Motorway Police do generally seem quite realistic with speed however - they often seem to cruise along at about 95, and dont seem to mind other traffic flowing along at 80-90.

Scoobynet and the we hate all police due to speed scameras is so boring, very 2004.
Anyway you're wrong, my tea was getting cold

Top earning speed cameras tend to be digital these days. Makes it much easier to just sit back and let the pennies, errr make that pounds come flowing in.
Anyway, you are not going to hear me moan about speed cameras, there are none where I live

Every now and again a ticket will come through from a scamera, you will then have to justify why you were speeding and what you were doing.
If you can't you get the points and fine.
