Default Nice copper shocker

We always slate the plod so I thought it only fair to show the flip side of our boys in blue.

Was coming home with her indoors on Friday after a meal out with the inlaws, A car shot up behind me and sat on my bumper. I adjusted the mirror but was a bit dazzled and couldn't see what it was. Being the mature adult I am (or not ) I dropped to 2nd and brought it on boost and took off. Then the fairy lights came on complete with woo woo's

I got out the car and held my hands up as in all fairness I did ask for the tug. Coppers started a bit arsey but I stated my case as best I could. After checking the car was insured and everything was above board I spent the next 10 minutes chatting about RS's before being waved on my way without even a producer.

Got more of a bollocking off the wife

They're not all arseholes and these two were good as gold

There are decent coppers out there, but not alot. Best way is to avoid them completely

Agreed but I did sort of draw attention to myself

Lazy paperwork avoiding cunts didnt do their job properly, they should be fired for failing to protect the public by giving you points

The exact same thing happened to me, although i only realised when id got upto about 110mph on a dual carriage way in my GTE. They let me off though, and were actually quite impressed with the gap i pulled on them in such a short distance.
