Just been questioned by the plod over 'driving erratically'

[Old Walrus]

About 30 years ago driving home from work at midnight I was pulled over and the very young officer told me it was because I hadn't made eye contact with them as I drove past the static police car! I explained to him that might be because I had been driving a police car for the previous eight hours. As I said this his tutor constable walked over saw it was me and went off chortling to himself.

Why would anyone 'look' at a police car if they weren't doing anything 'wrong'.

Don't know, but, if they use it as a "marker" to stop you, from now on, I will look

Avoiding eye contact can be a bit of a giveaway by those who are up to no good.

Then they'll stop you for not keeping your eyes on the road.

Maybe not Accy. But the men in white coats might be along as a result.

Accy, have you considered buying a tit helmet, and old fashioned tunic and cloak, and waiting until its really foggy before riding past the local nick on your Raleigh 3 speed while making ghostly "wwwooooooooooooooohhh..." noises?

My son used to get pulled over regularly north of Glasgow when he was going home from work late at night after arriving at Glasgow airport from Germany. They were actually looking for drug carriers but he had no bother stopping to get checked. It may be his oldish "airport car" made them suspicious.

Along with his stripy jumper, mask,.and swag bag.

20 years ago I was about to leave the roundabout into the site where I worked, when a mini in front drove straight into the car in front of it. i carried on into my place of work, and about 100 yards along the Police came up behind me with lights and sirens. I stopped, officer came over, so I said "is there something wrong?" to which he replied "did you see what happened back there?" I replies "yes, didn't you? " His response " We were looking at the floor of the car when it happened" They were on my left in the sliproad adjoining the roundabout.

There was a mole, or someone ratted on him, or just wanted to badger him.

Somebody toadying up to the stoats.
Weasily done!
