Sunday afternoon on the roundabout junction of the A61 and A617.

I'm in the 406, turning right from the A617 onto the A61 heading north. Weather is clear, road is dry.

As i pass the exit coming from the town centre a fully marked up police astra, that was in the middle lane, set off and forces me to make an emergency stop (enough to trigger the ABS) and then virtually stops in front of me. When i toot him with the horn, the driver looks at me, then carries on driving, taking what for him was the third exit (without having made any indication at all).
Quite apart from making me hit the brakes hard, 3 other cars behind me had to stop as a consequence and he also cut up the car in the third lane from his exit.

Not happy!!

Although a minor offence (for the Bib) I wrote to the Chief Inspector of Dundee Police to report 4 of his officers in a car, none of which were wearing seat belts.

I got a very nice reply saying they had been severely reprimanded for this.

Whats good for the goose is good for the gander. Do the same, may get a result.

We had some bib riding motorbikes at night with their lights switched off, hoping to catch a few scrotes joy riding.

I didn't complain about it but a neighbour did. What if they had caused an accident, would the rider admit to having his lights switched off?
