Police Interceptors tonight
Discussion
"Today Jim....Driving like an everyday driver"
ie. like a complete tw*t.
If the Volvo had kept left until the end they would have been level when the slip merged. That would have either forced the BMW to pull straight into the fast lane (without knowing what might already be on the carriageway) or force the Volvo to slow down (probably the intention).
Either way, Jim would never have been in the wrong of course.

"What you didn't know is that I'm actually in a rush to get somewhere..."
Excellent, I really must remember that as an excuse for t
ttish driving if I'm ever caught.
Per everyone else, the copper got caught out trying to nip past the Volvo where there wasn't quite room. I'm pretty sure had the bout been on the other foot and the Volvo driver had gone past the cop, we'd have seen the 'uniformed man mountain' pulling him over for the silly, needless and late overtake into a closing wedge of road.

So was there an operational need to drive like that at the end of the slip road?
What advantage was to be gained by the police officer making that manoeuvre at the end of that slip road?
Was it just a case of 'I can get past now' because I can rather than waiting a few seconds more until they'd both joined the dual carriageway?
The routine coach check he was en route to necessitated such progress and that manoeuvre?

I was looking for a thread on this having watched it last night.
I thought the policeman was definitely in the wrong there. Yes Volvo man shouldn't have given the wker sign, but trying to squeeze by at the point where the lanes were merging was a lack of judgement of the copper's part. If he was genuinely in a such a rush to this routine vehicle inspection that he was driving at high speeds, then he should have been using his flashing lights at the very least to alert other road users of presence and urgency.
To then throw his toys out of the pram and book him for dangerous driving was beyond ridiculous.
Volvo man could have conducted himself better, but well done to him for standing up for himself and not let the policeman on a power-trip walk all over him.
