Come on then, which one of you lot decided to have a play with a Skoda today that was going rather more than the speed limit on a motorway near Corby today.

What you failed to realise was that it was my cousins husband and he was in the middle of doing his police advanced driving refresh course in it... .

120mph.. lucky you just had the blues and told to slow down.
New underwear when you go home Sir?

Oops, like the RS Focus that chose to play with the old geezer in the Jag XF a couple of weekends ago

That was me on Sunday, but as I had the dog in the back, it wasn't going to be a win for me... so I moved out of the way once up to 70 mph.

sounds similar to something I saw on my way home tonight

young lad in an Integra with a stupidly loud exhaust on giving it VTEC Yo through town, I heard him coming a mile off

I was at the lights opposite, as he came flying up, failing to notice the unmarked Police S-Max that he passed at well over the speed limit, who gave chase and I found him pulled over a couple of mins later

FAIL

I have had unmarked police cars really try to push me to have a play, presumably trying to get me to do something wrong so they can catch me, I just don't raise to the bait anymore as you never know who is in the other car. But bet the one following the skoda started to panic when he realised what he had done.

Fuzz

Ahh second hand info always falls down, wasn't today..

war1974

think unmarked cars should be treated the same as police entrapment and any fines etc given shouldnt stand! know a few folks who have had similar police 'lets play' tactics and been caught out!

They got me that way years ago. Coming back from a night out at 1am, a car came screaming up behind me, proper cm off my bumper. I turned left, so did he, I turned right, so did he. I could see more than 1 person sat in the car behind, and not being able to see clearly who they were I started to get a bit nervous as to who they were. I speeded up to put a little distance between us, but again the car was glued to my rear bumper.

Getting close to home, and not much petrol in the tank, I decided to put a big distance between us, and floored it. Getting into the Village I had to slow down allowing them to catch up. I swung into the driveway and was going to make a dash for the front door when I noticed 2 police officers getting out of the car.

What then happened was a shouting match. They were shouting at me for speeding, and I was shouting at them for baiting me.

Got off with a warning to slow down, but only after I'd explained that at that time of night/morning, and alone, I feared for who they were, so put my foot down.

Why do they do this???........I was going about 28 in a 30 about a year back, when I noticed a Skoda about 400 yards in front, coming towards me, slam on it's brakes, and reverse quickly backwards into a farm entrance ....I carried on, slowing even more as I approached the entrance, and looked left to see 2 disappointed and sheepish looking old bill

Had a couple more....all at legal speed...the givaway is you see lights coming up pretty quick behind, then they slow and hold back about 50 yards, hoping you will go for it.......I just wish they would concentrate on all the people out there who cost me a fortune in alarms and insurance just to own a Scooby.....

saloonwoody

Mate of mine pulled up next to an RS at as set of lights in his Civil Type R .. they looked at each other and the RS rev'd .. my mate smiled and rev'd back .. the RS then played a really nice tune from his siren and smiled more .. my mate nodded at him and continued on his way .. very slowly
