Default Guess the police car waiting for a pursuit

On my way home from work today I was driving along a busy A road when I saw one of those police observation vans. Just round the corner hiding on a slip road was a police motorbike and a police car, but this wasn't your everyday police vehicle.

It was obvious that they were waiting for someone and were expecting to give chase.

Can you guess what the police car was?

Oh right.

They seem to be doing it a lot lately, at least once a week around my way. I'd never seen a pursuit vehicle hiding away before though.

It was just past the Hatfield Peveral turn off, Ipswich bound. I have seen them a few times in the layby just before the Boreham Interchange opposite the lake. I don't think they're checking for speeding though.

There's an unmarked silver BMW that patrols the A130 between Chelmsford and Wickford, I often see it pull people over. I've posted the reg. on here before.

Do you work in Wickford too?

Default Guess the plod motor

Makes me laugh with the plod, they have time to sit around waiting to nick people,mainly motorists but killers who hack people to death are free to roam about the country, Rachel Nickell and Sally-ann bowman are two peoples names who spring to my mind, pitty the plod did'nt have an evo plotted nearby when they were really required.
