Coming along the M74 in scotland at about 100 with my friend just behind me, just ahead is a service station

as i pass the service station i see a traffic car leaving the sliproad ono the motorway maybe 200 metres ahead of me.

i brake heavily and change down into third. i then pass the traffic car at about 60 and then pull infront of them and leave the motorway, they follow me for a while but then turn off.

would they have been able to see what speed i was doing when i was closer to them, reckon i would have been doing 80/85 at this point and if so can they do anything about it without pulling me over.

I suspect if they had 'wanted a quiet word', they would have pulled you there and then..

These days IME there are far far more rentacop HATOs than traffic cars. Are you sure it wasn't one of those? Anyhow if it was the police, they'd have stopped you if they felt you needed processing, that's the beauty of real policemen.

I believe they would have spotted you but saw you took action which showed you were aware of what you were doing so let you go on your merry way...

But what ever you do dont go on a public forum & admit to hitting 100... so was it mph or kph did you say? hehe
