Default Producer nightmare?

Is it just me or does anyone else get any bother from the law driving there ERST. Got three white slips last weekend alone dont they have anything better to do? Seems to me that they take pleasure in stopping u because u drive a car thats a bit different, Bastards!

Was pulled about 4 times in the s2, twice over plates (got the usual threats but nothing came of it) and others for 'speeding' although they never actually got me on it because i was too far ahead at the time IIRC Must of sounded above the limit

Got one producer then kept insurance cover note in the car with me

In first year of driving I've had one producer for getting into a lane too late.. (apparently.)

A fixed penalty notice for "Causing Uneccessary noise." The copper started the car and reved it himself.. then proceded to look through his book to see what he could do me for.

One at a road block in Warrington.

And got pulled over because another member of the public reported me because I swore at him for being a shit driver.

probably had 3 producers in 7 years, but they were due to not having a front plate etc.

Whne I first got mine I had no end of grief and was getting stopped regulary at least once a week

Now I rarely get stopped and when I do it's either been just a routine check due to the time the cars out (which I have no complaints over) or if I'm caught messing about (which I can't complain about even if I wanted to )

I find treating the plod on the level and being friendly will see you 90% of the time off with a a bit of verbal and nothing else. If you get all arsey from the offset you'll get their backs up and they'll then want to find something to have you for.
