Unmarked police car pulled me today!
As above was out in the turbo pulled up outside me mates house to find a CID had followed me, basically I gave the turbo a crack thrash down the dual carriage near me and I bomb past them! Dam!!! Basically said to me the next time they catch me they will take the car off me!!! WTF surely they can't do that?

I'm pretty sure all section 59s I know of were issued on the spot and confirmation through post, so id say it were just scare tactics mate
