At last! An occasion when they WERE there!
Discussion
We often bemoan the fact that, when we see bad driving, we might mutter 'if only I was a Traffic Copper / if only there was a Traffic Copper about....'
Well, it actually happened to me, and it was sweet!
About 10 days ago now, I joined the M27 Eastbound at Fareham, at about 23:30. The traffic was fairly light.
After about half a mile, I moved to lane 2 in order to overtake a BMW in lane 1, which was doing about 60mph. As I did so at around 70 or so, upon completing the manoeveure back into lane 1, I was then shortly confronted by an 'MLM' sitting in lane 2.
It's funny, but normally I would just continue in lane 1 and pass the MLM on the inside. However on this occasion, for some reason, I did the totally textbook thing of indicating and moving out to lane 3, passing, and moving back to lane 1.
Then strangely, the MLM started to give me the full-on high beams???? Errm, errr???!!!
Anyway, after this behaviour, I decided to slow down and let the mentalist past me again. He then did so, followed by the aforementioned BMW.
The BMW then overtook the said mentalist....then pulled into lane 2 in front of him....then lit up as an unmarked Police Car, and pulled him into the hard shoulder....
My journey home then consisted of mostly this inside my car: 'Ah-ahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaah!!!!'
So, yeah, it sometimes DOES happen!
