TAX warning - saw the detector car last night
on my way to get a kebab 
last night, saw a car with summat wierd behind it by the rear drivers side light
then saw a few police bikes and one going up a road after someone.
possibly looking at tax disks?
thought they could tell "from their computer" or whatever the advert says
just to keep you all warned!

i had that happen once in my 85 xr3i.
i was driving through matlock in derbyshire at 28ish mph (cos id seen em!!!) and cos the missus was with me.
thought nowt of it cos id just got the car back from MOT and it was all legit like!, so i turned up toward a local beauty spot called black rocks.
and it turns to national limit so i accelerate to 48ish cos the bike is behind me (still not worried at all!) indicate to turn into the car park and all hell breaks loose!
lights and all so i pulls over as ya do, hand brake on thinking must have a bulb out or sumate cos me bulb carrier is a bit dodgy for an earth like, winds window down and turn off engine (3" pipe) 
"is this your car sir?" etc "erm yes why mate, whats the problem?" "This car is registered with the leicester police for traffic offences!"
OMG!!!! (que new pants!!!) "er ive only had it a week and i didnt drive it home from the sellers house"(little white lie) "have you got your documents sir?" Of course i had em cos it was just that morning that i had got me insurance tax etcsorted . he gave me a really weird look as if id just shit on his boots and said (couldnt nick me)" oh must be DVLA cos they somtimes take time registering cars to new owners" THANK GOD FOR THAT!!!!!!! so the van is to take registration details and if owt dodgy comes up, plod follows you and does document check and if that is suspect away you go!
(bye bye licence!!) and as far as im aware under traffic laws they can impound and/or crush your dearly beloved ford
