bippo Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Remember to be polite and courteous too - Start with "Morning/afternoon/evening Officer..." Try not to lose your rag, even with the young ones. Second that. I was pulled over in my old car at 1am down a quiet road. Scared the hell out of me. I knew he was planning something as he watched me go round a roundabout, and then followed me. He was one of those coppers who clearly had a quiet day, knew I was confused (couldn't work out why I'd been targeted), and was clearly nervous (sad I know, but there's something about being pulled over that worries me!) He was cocky, sarcastic and antagonising me on purpose, but I kept calm and polite and all was ok. The reason why I was pulled over? My car had those cornering fog lights which come on when the steering wheel is turned to a certain point, or if you indicated. So when he saw me, my left fog light was on as I was indicating, and then it clicked off as I went passed him - so it made it look like I did it on purpose. Stupid car and I'm glad I don't own it anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted October 30, 2012 Moderator Share Posted October 30, 2012 Sometimes they are ok, this afternoon i was, authorative with my riding through the towcester gridlock that is kiddy kick out time. (busses and mum and dad taxi's) and got a quick flash of the blues and a wagged finger. I took the hint and eased off, i wasn't doing anything wrong by the letter of the law but i was definitely reading it from my point of view if you get my drift.
