But in a Vectra

Surly that cant be right?

 

Read that in the paper yesterday, pmsl!!

 

Max speed for one of those is around 154mph - 3.2 litre GSI Vauxhall Vectra

 

wooops! they get encouraged to drive at 145+ on motorways!!! blimey!

 

He said:
"I was being encouraged to drive at speeds greater than 145mph on motorways."

Might have to try that line myself one day when stopped on the M5

 

sooooooo is he gonna be done? I doubt it

 

To be fair. He's probably a fairly handy driver.

BUT


Sounds very arrogant, so I daresay its not helped his case I think a severe slap on the wrist will be sufficient. If he looses his job/license what good is he to stopping crime?

 

Rich I feel you're taking the piss...

If he wasn't on his way to a shout or anything he should be treated the same as a member of the public

I might try that line if I get caught, "just trying to familiarise myself with the car officer"

 

fookin ban him

i got banned for far less and they wanted to charge me with dangerous driving

 

lock the fuckin twat away for 4 weeks.

fuckin coppers are always gettin away with speeding when not on runs, fuckin winds me the fuck up

 

Holy shittt !!!

 

i shoved one out of the way at 130 going up windyhill on the M62 east a few nights ago - it didnt go much faster than that

 

 

well my car will get close to 140 ish and thats due to gearing so 150 ish is possible.

you don't need a turbo to get to those speeds

 

Actually, for once, Im not. If he looses his job, then thats 1 less copper on the street. Stop him from driving for his job maybe, even put him back on the beat. Thats what Id like.

Oh and as for Top Speed. Cop cars are chipped heavily

 

that fool lives 10 mins down the road from me.
thanks

I raced one of these the other night out of edinburgh. I was at 140 mph as we came up to the new bridge roundabout... its a 70 thats then turns into a 40. He was pulling ahead of my v6 mondeo so he must have been doing around 150 speedo. Was quite amusing watching the two team bus old man cars going thru a 40 zone at 140-150 mph and not remotely lifting until a FULL abs manouver to stop at the roundabout te he.. like the good old days

That copper is an idiot. He may be a good driver but doing 150+ when not even going to a call is stupid. You put other people's lives at (albeit a minor) risk when going to calls because the risk is outweighed by the emergency you are going to. To drive like that for no reason is outrageous and hope he gets banned.

 

spoken like a true copper


on a serious note and not being funny, ok the copper was speeding but tbh oif he is trained ect then doing 150+ on a empty motorway aint a big deal ( of he has the paitence to get the slow shite box to finally get that speed , must have started on scotland to get that speed )

and again think him loosing his job is worse as he will loose loads of things hes payed into like his pension aswell


so think that a ban and not to be allowed to drive old bill cars is a safer option but only cause i hate bent coppers as if hes enforces a law he should lead by example and respect it more than me


other wise how can ya enforce a law that ya dont belive ya self

 

Me too. Followed a van doing 46 in a 30 th otherday. Fucking hypocrites.
Same day,traffic car doing 90+ on a pissing wet,spray covered dual carriageway,no blue lights,nowt.

 

he is a fu*king cvnt... he has no excuse but

i bet he gets away with it... makes me sick

 

well my car will get close to 140 ish and thats due to gearing so 150 ish is possible.

you don't need a turbo to get to those speeds
